1988 YEARBOOK MESSAGE Congratulations to the senior class for their efforts in producing a fine yearbook. Throughout the years here you have progressed from dependent kindergarten students to mature young adults. As you leave the hallowed halls of Colton- Pierrepont, you can do so with pride. The quality of education you have received at CPCS has equipped you with the skills necessary to succeed in the world of work or college. For those of you who will graduate in the future, I encourage you to do your best in your remaining years at CPCS. Shakespeare said, “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.” Don’t sell yourself short. Set your goals high for the next school year and your life. There’s no limit to what you can accomplish if you combine perspiration with inspiration. Good Luck. Sincerely, I»V John Gratto Superintendent of Schools TO THE CLASS OF 1988 My congratulations to the Class of 1988, they have many accomplishments to brag about after graduation from Colton- Pierrepont Central School; but as you continue your education in the real world, please be careful of the pit called “Tardy Syndrome”! Please, “Don’t be the person who has never heard the Star-Spangled Banner played; don’t be the person who has never seen the lights dim at a concert; don’t be the person who has never seen a football team in clean uniforms; don’t be the person who has never seen a bride come down the aisle; and don’t be the person who always sends a belated birthday card.” Be the person who is on time, does quality work, gives that extra effort and is always dependable. Norman Whyte High School Principal 23
