In the picturesque Utah Valley, nestled close to the foot of the majestic Wasatch Mountain Range and fed by the crystal springs and artesian wells that give the city its name, lies Springville. Southeast of Springville lies its sister city, Mapleton. Settled by Captain Aaron Johnson in 1851, the Springville Mapleton community is well-known for the wide streets, turn-of-the-century homes, and plentiful trees that have existed since those early pioneer days. Although much of the community today is made up of Captain Johnson’s descendents, people from many backgrounds, with widely varied interests populate the city today. Springville is known as Utah’s Art City and houses both a nationally acclaimed Art Museum, and Hobble Creek golf course. It is bordered on the west by Utah Lake and on the east by majestic Camel’s Back and Maple Mountains. The area is one of few where cactus and cattail can be found growing practically side by side. Springville and Mapleton . . . home of the Art City, and best of all, home of the MIGHTY RED DEVILS! (Lynnae Whiling — photography by Brian Wall) Tree-lined streets, broad fields, and majestic mountains characterize the Springville Mapleton Community. The Springville Civic Center houses the public library and City Council Chambers as well as a small playhouse theater. The Springville Police Fire Department. COMMUNITY 3

August 30 . . . and the drudgery had begun again. It was time to pack up the water skis, the suntan lotion and the camping gear; time to unpack stiff new school clothes, books, and worst of all — the alarm clock. The hardest part about school starting had to be the realization that summer vacation had ended. No more “late to bed and late to rise.” For a few of the “little devils” at SHS though, school work didn’t begin with registration. Estimates were that over half of the studentbody had been at school before it started to get ready for football and volleyball games, tennis matches, cross country meets, and to participate in a barrage of different camps and conferences. Summer activities ranged anywhere from “skiing the scum” on Utah lake, to surviving in the High Uintas, to trying to tan a pink little body to a coppery brown. Sun- shine was scarce this summer as record rainfall and snow runoff caused major flooding and mudslides. Part of the summer was spent sandbagging and preparing for disaster. The rest of the vacation was spent sleeping, shopping, travel- ing, dating, being lazy, and most of all — dreading August 30.
