Sun Valley High School - Spectrum Yearbook (Aston, PA)

JUNIOR YEAR Our sophomore year behind us and one year closer to being a senior, we came back to the Valley to start our junior year. We now knew where rooms 103 and 105 were located and took great delight in giving the sophomores wrong directions. But although we roamed the halls with some authority and pride, the seniors still ruled the school. Regardless of constant warnings from teachers, a large portion of the junior class seemed to catch the dread- ed disease senioritis”. Our junior year also brought us rea- sons to be proud of our school. Sun Valley's football and soccer teams were both co-champions. However, Sun Val- ley really showed spirit by dominating the audience of Van Halen’s ‘1984’ tour concerts at the Spectrum. Much to the distress of head-bangers everywhere, Michael Jackson also made a large im- pact with the “Thriller” album, which was overplayed to the point of exhaus- tion at the two volleyball marathons held at Sun Valley. And who could ever forget the seniors and their gift to the school? I don’t think the tree made it, but a new tradition of graduating on the football field was given the O.K. of the schoolboard. Life as a junior was not all fun and games, though. We took PSAT’s, SAT’s, and ACT’s until we had the DT’s anytime the word test was mentioned. All of this was to prepare us for our senior year, college, and whatever else lay waiting for us in the jungle of life. 8
