Valley Rises High “Why ‘Rising High in ’84’?” one might ask. Valley did rise high in ’84. The theme speaks not only of improve- ments and accomplishments made, but of an aura—an entire mood. August of ’83, as had Augusts before, brought the beginning of a new school year. Only this particular beginning was different from any that had come before. The close of the previous year had seen the resignations of both the principal and assistant principal. So when the doors opened for the ’84 year, everyone was anxious to see what changes were to come. The new administrators, Mr. John Hill—principal, and Mr. Mark Skiles— assistant principal, had anticipated those anxious feelings and had worked hard all summer to ensure a smooth be- ginning. Although the new year brought many changes, most of the members of the TVHS community felt the changes were for the better. As the year progressed, and August turned into September and then Octo- ber, Valley made increased strides for- ward. Students became involved in all aspects of school life, and many began to stand out in the different areas of inter- est, proving Valley was indeed on the rise. And it was important that both teachers and students alike realized that the support of Valley as a quality-educa- tion institution was behind them. Every- one began to look at Valley in a different light—one that cast a glow of pride around it. Even the communities get into the act as members of Akron set off helium balloons. Valley rises high in sports, as well as in all aspects of school life. TVHS Reaches 2 Opening
