Juniors Class of '83
The class of 1983 began and finished the year with a great number of accomplishments.
They raced off to a terrific year by victoriously winning first prize in the Home-
coming float competition with their entry, "One Step Beyond." It was soon after that
the class, led by President Robyn Jones, tediously worked on fund-raisers for the
Junior-Senior Prom. Such as the Hello Dance and Family Feud resulted in huge profits
and enabled this year's Prom to be a successful spectacular, event!

Jill Reves Graduation Speech - Poly High 1983
Hello... again.
First of all, congratulations to us.
Not only because we made it through the four years,
But this is the FIRST and I'm sure the only
day this year, that every one of us is at
school, and no senior is ditching!
So, have you learned a lot?
You know, it's amazing when you think back,
over the four years, and add up
the amount of material that
our teachers have to desperately tried
to get us to learn.
But after all, learning IS the objective of
school.
And although we may THINK we have
forgotten it all,
a Poly education is a valuable thing to have
There are also a lot of things we will
remember, other than class lectures and
book work.
As Freshmen, for example,
we learned what a Yahoo was,
and that there was a whole school of people
a LOT bigger than we were.
And as Sophomores, we learned how to drive,
and to decide between Del Taco
and McDonald's for lunch.
When we were juniors, we realized
that we had adult responsibilities,
and took on the decisions of
college applications and jobs.
And as seniors,
we learned how to ditch once a week,
and STILLL avoid Saturday school.
We have also learned serious things
here at Poly.
Our experiences here have helped us
to grow towards becoming more
independent and responsible people.
We've learned that life can also be
very painful.
as in last year when we lost
two good friends, and classmates,
Tommy Kennedy and Johnny Karidakes.
In our four years we also learned
to smile, to laugh, and to love.
I hope we all smile,
when we remember winning
the Homecoming float two years,
and ALL the diligent bombing it required.
And laugh,
when we see old pictures of our prom,
and think of how nervous we were.
And love, when we remember
our closest friends, and how they
helped us through the years.
Seniors, look at these friends around us,
Many of the people here
we will never see again.
So go ahead and let mom and dad take
a hundred pictures,
so we CAN remember.
And seniors, classmates, parents and friends,
don't forget all the love and laughter
that can be found in our four years
of high school.
And Smile!
because today,
we are graduating into a new life,
as Poly High's class of 1983!
CLASS GIFT!!!
All year long, Poly has been discussing
the construction of a new marquis on Central.
So the class of '83 decided to donate
money towards a new, LARGER marquis
as our 1983 class gift.

A Brief History of Poly High School
High school classes have been conducted in Riverside since 1875. the first classes
occupied a room in Lincoln, the first elementary school in Riverside. Later, the
classes were moved to the old YMCA building at Sixth and Main Streets. In 1887,
they were again moved to the old Grant School and in 1890 diplomas were issued to
the first graduating class. In 1902, a Science Hall, Classics Building, and shop
buildign were built on the Terracina site for high school boys. In 1924, the
Applied Arts Building was added and the school became coeducational. The ninth graders
were sent to the junior high schools and the buildings became known as Poly High
School. Poly was relocated to its present site on Victoria Avenue/Central in
1965.
A Brief History of Riverside, California
Riverside
Riverside was founded in 1870 by John North and a group of Easterners who wished to
establish a colony dedicated to furthering education and culture. John North wanted
to name the city he founded in 1870 Jurupa, but others disagreed and it was renamed
Riverside in reflection of the adjacent Santa Ana River.
Riverside was built on land that was once a Spanish rancho owned by Juan Bandini in
1838 which he received from Abel Stearns as a wedding gift. This area was called
El Rancho Jurupa. In 1846, A French-Canadian adventurer and businessman, Louis
Robidoux built the first grist mill in the region and established a robust winery.
Investors from England and Canada transplanted traditions and activities adopted by
prosperous citizens: the first golf course and polo field in Southern California
were built in Riverside. The navel orange trees loved the warm, mild climate and
began to thrive here.
The first orange trees were planted in 1871, but the citrus industry in Riverside
didn't become famous until two years later when Eliza Tibbets received two Brazilian
Bahia navel orange trees sent to her by a friend at the Department of Agriculture
in Washington. The trees thrived in the Southern California climate and the navel
orange industry grew rapidly becoming a "Orange" gold rush for those involved. Thanks
to this amazingly sweet seedless navel orange, in 1875 Riverside was listed as the
richest city per capita in the nation. In 1933 The State of California officially
recognizes Eliza Tibbets as the founder of the California navel orange industry.
Citrus labels were a major part of the California Mystic. These Labels had beautiful
scenes with snow-capped mountains with orange groves and palm trees. Some had birds
and animals, landscapes, airplanes and other forms of transportation, Native Americans,
Egyptian scenes, ships, sports, military figures, cowboys, women, literary figures,
including Huck Finn and Cinderella, children, the California Missions, and of course,
oranges. Anything to support the fascination with the West Coast Myths were brought
to life with these decorated fruit crates.
Mission Inn, Riverside, California Photos
As Riverside prospered, a small guest hotel designed in the popular
Mission Revival style grew to become the world famous Mission Inn, favored by presidents, royalty
and movie stars.
The Inn was developed from the Glenwood Tavern, and renamed the Glenwood Hotel.
This Hotel was owned by Captain Christopher Columbus Miller, who moved to Riverside
in 1874 to survey land for the Gage Canal, which brought water to Riverside. His son
Frank Augustus Miller developed a lasting interest in culture and the arts and took
over the expansion of the Inn. His hotels archecture was capitalizing on the mystique
of the citrus culture and Spanish influences. The Moorish-influenced hotels
Author's Row celebrated Miller's favorite authors.
The Reagan's honeymooned in the suites, the Nixon's were married on its grounds.
Teddy Roosevelt was involved with shovel in hand, with the ceremonial replanting
of one of Riverside's two parent naval orange trees in the hotel's main courtyard,
and a special chair built for 300 pound William Howard Taft when he visited is
still in the Inn's collection.
Will Rogers once wrote: "...the most unique hotel in America...If you are ever in
any part of Cal don't miss the famous Mission Inn at Riverside."
The Mission Inn has had a diverse and emotional story but was able to keep alive
dispite the many up and down years of this national landmark. Link
The "Keeper of the Inn" is Duane R. Roberts, The Proprietor's Story
Duane R. Roberts, A wonderful man who made his fortune in burritos revives a romantic
symbol of old California, The Mission Inn. Link
Duane R. Roberts states, "Well, I like challenges. I like to try different things.
And I grew up in Riverside. I went to Riverside Poly High, so I knew how important
the hotel was to downtown Riverside. It's really the fabric that holds the community
together."
Success is in part a result of Duane R. Roberts' attitude. "I thrive on challenges,
and with each day comes new challenges," Duane R. Roberts said.
Duane R. Roberts received the 1993 Inland Empire Master Entrepreneur of the Year
award and The Spirit of Leadership award in 1996 from Ernst & Young LLP. And he won
the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian of the Year award from the Riverside Humane Society.
Raincross Bell, Riverside, California
Riverside Mission Inn Watercolors Art Link
The unique City Raincross Symbol is derived from combining a replica of the mass
bell used by Father Junipero Serra, missionary priest and founder of the California
Missions, and the cross to which the Navajo and Central American Indians prayed for
rain. The "Raincross" is used extensively throughout Riverside in its architecture
and is on the City flag.
Myth and symbol blend together in the creations of Frank Miller in 1907. Riverside’s
Raincross symbol and the Mission Inn were his legacy to the future.
In 1985 Riverside emerged as one of the richest cities per capita in the United States
due to its huge success in the citrus industy.
Riverside was once known as "the city of trees" due to the extensive importation
and planting of street trees, with citrus orange fruit tree groves and lined avenues
of palm trees. Other shade trees such as eucalyptus, pepper and sycamore trees were
planted all in an effort to create a Mediterranean image for Southern California;
first focusing on the California Mission Revival and then Spanish Colonial styles to
push the image of a utopian lifestyle so that the Eastenrers and Eurpoeans would be
interested in Southern California and its Citrus Industry, billing itself as the
Mediterranean oasis in the golden citrus years of Riverside as a rural-urban resort
destination.
The streets of Riverside also have significance in the branding of Southern California
and advertising to the east coast to come visit the west. Riverside's original
north-south streets have botanical names with revival cottages in a park like setting
which named by Dr. Wood, developer, who wanted to lure a visitor from the cold
eastern coast states to live in our sunnier climate. With the invention of the
automobile the "walking city," which was downtown took a back seat in favor of the
fast food industry and the California Coffee Shop Style genre as well as the a motel
also known as the motor inn.
In 1993 California Citrus History State Park was opened as a celebration of the
Riverside Sunkist cooperative with its 100 years old birthday. The centennial
anniversary put forth a $500,000 donation toward the construction of the park’s
Sunkist Indoor Activities Center which is available for parties.
Sunkist is a billion dollar a year organization and the leading international
citrus supplier, but doesn't own a single citrus grove. Created in 1983, Sunkist
has no stocks to buy because Sunkist is a cooperative, not for profit company
with 6,000 members from regions of Califronia and Arizona citrus growers in a
mutual effort to produce a high quality fruit, known as Sunkist. The goal is to
promote a brand name like no other. Sunkist is one of the 10 largest marketing
cooperatives in America and the largest marketing cooperative in the world's fruit
and vegetable industry. This is done by having some of the best most advanced packing
houses in the world to ship lemons, oranges, grapefruit and seasonal specialties to
all corners of the globe.
