Through all the centuries gone by, men have left influences that affect our lives today. We are the heirs of the ages. Like those of yesterday, our examples, our words, our ideas, and our beliefs can also be projected into the future to remain in the lives of others. We Rivercrest Rebels have made history every moment of this school year. In this 1969 yearbook, we have tried to capture situations, reactions, ideas, and goals and to weave them into a short volume of the past ... a volume of our own Rivercrest history. I i 9 I ' Yesterday is but today’s memory, to- morrow is today's dream.” - Gibran
