1971 Class History On one cold September morning, twenty young Americans received orders to report to Cohocton Central School. Those with draft cards included: P. Wolcot, S. Hoover, M. Sabins, J. Kunz, S. Daniels, D. Cleland, V. Avery, M. Smalt, N. Carey, S. Wallace, T. Kiefer, F. Benson, T. Gilman, K. Avery, J. Sick, P. Linkenfelter, M. Castle, T. Clute, S. Hoag, V. Kuhn, M. Schnieder, G. Fairbrother, D. Conrad, B. Fleishman, C. Goranson, S. Paige, M. Rawleigh, and E. Young. After nine years of basic, advanced basic, and intermediate training, we entered our Freshman year with fourteen of the original bunch and nine new recruits. (The other fourteen had all gotten honorable discharges along the way.) The new inductees that were transferred into our barracks were: B. Burns, C. Klug, T. Cragg, Michael Schnieder, M. Delio, A. Scriviner, W. Hamilton, J. Hart, D. Smith,and R. Polmanteer. Our first military event was, ‘The Psychedelic Happening”. The officers were: Dave Conrad, Captain, Gary Fairbrother, Lieutenant, Paul Wolcott, Sargeant, and Jim Sick as Paymaster. We were posted under Mrs. Kaye Wood, our General. When we entered our Sophomore year of training, the troops suggested having two so- cial get-to-gethers. One of the greatest was the “Battle of the Bands”. That was some get- to-gether! Needless to say, Headquarters agreed to both of the social events. The entire year was a success. The officers of our squadron: Jim Sick as our Captain, Michelle Schnieder as Lieutenant, Charlene Klug as Secretary, Sally Wallace as our trusted Pay- master; were all pleased with the troops efforts. As time passed, so did we. Third year training caused much excitement in the troops. Officers appointed were; Jim Sick as Top Brass, Nancy Carey as his Vice, Charlene Klug remained as Chief secre- tary, and “Money-grabbing Bruce”, as we used to call him, who was assigned to the brig for not collecting our monthly dues, was the questionable Paymaster. The troops, with two new transferees, Jeff and Paul Van Caeseele, received class rings, which were the most important part of their new equipment, and to every G.I. Junior. We staged our wildly successful play, “Grandad Goes Wild”, with Colonel J.R. Molyneux directing. We were supposed to go on tour with it but the Colonel was sure that we shouldn’t give the public too much of a good thing. The play was a big boost to our payroll. In May of that same year, the biggest social event on Cohocton was put into active duty, our Prom, entitled, “A Single Rose”, set in military color scheme of Navy blue and white. The dignitaries of the Prom were; Gary Fairbrother, and Charlene Klug, as king and queen. In lower rank were; Betsy Burns, Virginia Avery, Bruce Fleishman, and Mike Schnieder. Saying every- one looked beautiful would be inadequate. The gym had never seen so much color, ex- citement and beauty before. This night will be a deep imprinted memory to every good trooper. During our third year of training, our first General had left us. Before the end of the term we were happily assigned to Mrs. Kathleen Fairbrother, our new commanding offi- cer. She has been with the troops ever since. Our last year of training at Cohocton Central School is almost drawing to an end. We could go on and on about our recent events, but we feel they are all so fresh in our minds. One of the most interesting events was that of the war the Seniors had with the Juniors. Of course, the Seniors won over the Juniors. After all, how could the Juniors even think that they could win over the mighty force of C.C.S.? The Senior Trip is next on our charts. This is a time when the whole class goes ba- nanas. Next is Class Night, which is all meant in fun, the Graduation, the most serious of all the endeavors the troops will ever do in training. Finally, “that class”, the class of 1971, will be gone. We are going to miss all our friends and classmates and even the faculty. This is our last year. It just doesn’t seem pos- sible. The years have just gone so fast. Yes, soon it will be all over, just when it was start- ing to make sense. So on behalf of our class, The Class of ‘71, we would like to say thank you for everything. 26
