Springville... Home of art, culture, and Red Devils! W herever you go in Springville. you’ll find the students of Springville High School involved in their community. In turn, the city supports the students in all their activities, whether they be athletics, music, or academics. Community centers, such as the Art Building and Civic Center, are constantly providing chances for youth to become involved. Programs such as the National April Salon. Quilt Show, and Art Queen are offered. For the student interested in government, there is the Mayor’s Youth Council. The Police Ex- plorer Unit learns about police work through on the job training. Springville High students are willing to help in their community. In the spring when the melting snow flooded the banks of Hobble Creek, students were quick to help by filling sandbags and building dykes along the river. These are just some of the ways students are learning and growing from the influence of their sur- roundings. Springville High School and the Springville and Mapleton communities make a great team!

hat time again. Leaving the school for the last time last year the students’ eyes were slightly damp and their noses were sniffling in unison, because hayfever hit the hardest with the spring pollen. Most students made it through the school year by plan- ning what they were going to do for the summer. They now got to carry out their plans after they got a job, to support themselves. Some students applied at every store, eating establish- ment. and even Job Service in search of employment. In other words, everywhere under the sun. When students got home from a hard day of pounding the pavement they relaxed in front of the T.V. with a drink, a bag of chips and settled down to watch the Olympics. While cheering the home team on, several official sponsors of the 1984 Olympics ran their commercials over and over and over to the point of redundancy. In spite of the commercials the Olympics were inspirational to many of the athletes in the school. Other students like Mike Poulson, thought it was a point of personal interest to find out that the swimmers used gelatin “so that when they hit the cold water it gells and holds their hair in place.’’ Angie Wynn was upset that the regularly scheduled programming was disturbed. And Christi Conover thought the Fireworks got old after 20 minutes. Some students didn’t even get around to watching them. Vacations, the main reason for summer, consisted of much travel to foreign and obscure places like: California, the Tetons, Lake Powell, Texas Cedar City, Yellowstone, Colorado. London and even Salt Lake. One of the favorite pastimes while traveling through Yellowstone Park w as to stop and look for non-existent bears and see how many other “tacky tourists’’ would stop. It’s a known fact that no family ever leaves on a vacation when they are supposed to. Most of the time spent running around picking up last minute necessities like candy bars, gas. and the piece to a new' puzzle that was accidently left in a parking lot somewhere. After everyone had been literally packed among boxes of food, sleeping bags and luggage in the non-ventilated “mov- ing’’ vehicle the traditional family vacation begins seven hours later than planned. What with one thing and another the summer passed and it was once again time to tackle the registration lines and start planning for NEXT SUMMER! ( SUMMERTIME
