Superintendent, school board vital forces Unheralded but greatly appreciated are the five board members and the clerk who labor without pay for the ben- efit of SUHS students. These men are elected by the pub- lic to five year terms. Their duties include a regular monthly meeting and many, many special meetings throughout the year. The last year of his tenure, each man serves as chairman. Mr. Bill Dyal was the chairman this year. Our thanks go to these dedicated, hardworking men and we hope they realize we do appreciate their efforts even though we complain more than we praise.

Mr. Peterson familiar figure at Sandy Principal Ralph Peterson will not be returning to San- dy next year, and SUHS will not be the same without his genial smile and friendly manner. For nine years he was a constant figure in the hallways and at all athletic events, concerts, plays and musicals. All San- dy activities interested him, and he gave them his full support. For nine years he managed the smooth operation of big events, such as graduations and awards assemblies. Besides all his other activities, he took time to help the fathers of SUHS students to form a strong Dads' Club. When he first came to Sandy, he reactivited the local chapter of the National Honor Society. He has recei- ved the honorary chapter degree from the Sandy FFA for his support of the organization. Mr. Peterson, a native of Utah, graduated from Utah State, spent three years in the Marines and began his professional career in Utah, teaching almost every subject. His coaching duties encompassed all boys sports. After earning his masters' degree, he became vice principal at Douglas High in Southern Oregon and then came to Sandy as principal. Mr. Peterson is married and is the father of six child- ren. His oldest child, Connie, is married and lives in Texas. Terry, his oldest son, is a '65 Sandy grad and is now serving in the Air Force; Brent, '70, is attending MHCC; Ralph is a junior here; and Mark and Kevin are still in grade school. Mr. Peterson's wife, Jean, is a secretary at Firwood Grade School. His sons have all been honor students and have contributed greatly to the music and athletic programs at Sandy. With deep regrets, we say goodbye to Mr. Peterson, and best wishes from all of us at Sandy High. 30 Above: Mr. Peterson announces the scholarships won by graduates and congratulates the class for its excellence.
