Sun Valley High School Foreword Sun Valley High School has now reached the first stage in its continuous efforts for improvement in opportunities for its students. The result of the combined efforts of students, faculty, and administra- tion will be seen as the first graduating class completes its final year in high school with it6 commencement exercises. We, the first staff of the Spectrum, wish to project on the following pages how school life in the school term of September of 1962 to June of 1963 appeared to us. This school year was not an easy one, for split sessions disrupted the routine to which everyone had been accustomed. The first publication of the Spectrum brings with it the realization that Sun Valley has taken a long stride into the future. As the school continues along this path paved with these first events and activities, this year will be remembered — the year Sun Valley High School was introduced to the community. The staff of the Spectrum has chosen as its theme to introduce Sun Valley and throughout the book has tried to present the people and events with this theme in mind. 4

Message from the President Vanguards — Take Your Place!! This is the year when Sun Valley takes its place among the leading schools of our county and state. You, as the Sun Valley Vanguards, have blazed the trail and are now our first graduating class. Your collective and individual contributions to the success of our school have been many and varied, and we hope satisfying and rewarding. Now the time has come for you to venture forth into the world and make your mark in life. Some of you will go to.college; some of you will seek technical training; others will Find jobs in industry. Whatever your choice may be, remember, your time upon the stage of life is but brief and in this drama each of you must play a part. The character is left for you to choose. It is our hope that you will make your choice with a deep sense of obligation and fidelity to the world society in which you will be living. Those of us on the Board of Education who have been given the responsibility of providing the buildings, the teachers, and the supplies, which have made your education possible, are proud of the accomplishments you have made. As we meditate upon our past endeavors, we realize that perhaps both students and board members could have done better, but this is not the time to dwell upon our past shortcomings. It is a time to catch inspiration for a high resolve to build upon our past experiences. Future successes will not come easily. You will find many of your triumphs will be bought by disappoint ments. It is our hope that the education you have received will teach you to enjoy your triumphs with good grace and to meet your disasters with courage and a will to start anew. Today we rejoice with you in seeing your high school and the Vanguards take their rightful place among the schools of Delaware County. We look forward to observing you through the years as you take your respective ploces in the world — proud graduates of Sun Volley High School. 6
