SOUNDS OF RIVERVIEW
How many of you still have that little 45 rpm record, “Sounds of Riverview 1959-1960”, that came with your yearbooks? It’s rather interesting, and highly nostalgic, featuring, indeed, some of the characteristic and defining sounds of the school, from the morning bugle call and announcements, to a pep rally, musical and theatrical endeavors, and part of a (winning!) football game (our first?).
My record has survived, in somewhat used but useable condition. (The back, in particular, is a bit scratchy. Sorry.) A couple of years ago I converted it into digital format, and sent copies out to a number of alumni who wanted them. It occurs to me that others might be interested, as well, so here it is. This is not high fidelity – the files would be too big – but sufficient, I think, for the quality of the recording.
