Rich in tradition Tradition. Community. Heritage. People. Legacy. Society. Legends. Old. New ... en- able SV students to STRIKE IT RICH! Tradition is defined as the handing down of information, beliefs and customs by word of mouth or by example from one genera- tion to another without written instruction. Clinton, Indiana and its surrounding com- munities have an abundance of traditional values. We have duplicated our parents be- liefs and customs since the day we were born, and it reflects in the community. SVHS has many traditions from the home- coming spirit week celebration to initiating the frightened freshman greenies at the First Nighter's Dance. Filling out white office cards is always a pain but a biannual tradition that occurs at the beginning of each semes- ter. Sophomores purchase class rings. Ju- niors deal with annoying magazine sales. Se- niors select graduation announcements, get measured for caps and gowns, and have se- nior pictures taken. High school is a tradition in itself. Our tradition and customs level is never low. The SV tradition is in infancy since we've only been in existence for ten years. There is a lot more to look forward to in the future, said Mr. Waugh. Clinton's most famed tradition is the Little Italy Festival which celebrated its twenty- first year in 1986. There is an assortment of activities surrounding this Labor Day cele- bration including grape stomping, the Wine Gardens, and the Italian Singers and Polka dancers. The Italian community of Clinton is well known for its abundance of Italian res- taurants. If spaghetti is what you enjoy, Clin- ton is the best place for this traditional treat. The Dana Fall Festival celebrates the life of the late, WW II veteran Ernie Pyle in August of each year. Somewhere, sometime there is always a traditional happening in Clinton or its sur- rounding communities. Tradition is some- times forgotten as being important, but it is an everpresent aspect of being a Clintonian. Kelly Gilman Ami Amerman, seated at one of Clinton's finest eating establishments, Berardineili's, enjoys the popular Italian dish of spaghetti and veal.
