EDITOR ' S NOTE Valencia High School has once again retained its leader- ship, power, and pride as one of the most powerful and suc- cessful schools in Orange County. After twice, unselfishly splitting itself in half,just to form two rival schools, Valencia has suffered through four hard years. These years were spent recovering from the student population loss. Although Valencia ' s high standard of aca- demics remained the same, sports, activities, and pride decreased. A new and unique year, 1977-78 was filled with com- pleted changes and for future changes. It was a year where once again students were proud to be seen on the Valencia High School campus, proud to get involved in activities and proud to watch our winning athletic teams. Several changes that took place this year on campus, were a new paintjob that gave the buildings some class, the planning and carrying out of the remodeling of the entire campus, and the designing and first construction of a 2 mil- lion dollar gymnasium. Activities attracted great participation as spirit week, homecoming, Sadi Hawkins and the prom marked major events of the year. With a fresh start, athletic teams proved that Valencia was once again a power to be recognized. Football had its first winning season in four years. Basketball had its sec- ond winning season and Baseball worked their way to a successful season. Boys ' Varsity Cross Country team gave to Valencia its first CIF championship. Their thousands of miles of running during the past years, never giving up or doubting themselves, was the backbone of Valencia ' s ath- letic comeback. Because of this year, filled with changes and the return of Valencia ' s tradition, we have designed this yearbook to cover the events that took place in a different and unique way. Each section has its own cover and story to tell. Put together, these sections show how Valencia has made a strong comeback. Without change in this day and time, you will never keep up your tradition. Valencia is now a perfect example of this statement. 3 Alpha 3
