5 Richville? here's that? Above Tfatertown. Hvstosh. is there any New York State north of there?ii Oh, yes,, the old alma mater. Well, let's try it. Wait until tell some of these New Yorkers who think Yonkers is upstatelJ This conversation took place two (it hardly seems possible) ears ago between a student and his wife. And thus it happened that left the big city for the wilds of the North Country. In the past two years I have made many friends, a few enemies, I suppose, learned a great deal, worked my head off , and enjoyed it immensely. So, I would like to very informally review some of the things that sorta stick in my mind and will always remind me of Richville. 1948- 49 The boys' basketball dance to raise money for uniforms— trying to do something different at Christmas time and finally com- • ing out with with an operetta—the basketball trips with automobiles, wondering whether everyone has a ride or not—the old timers' basket- ball game with Lester Overacker and Clare Conklin in the starring roles—the smoky gynr—hiring four teachers for the same job—raising money for the seniors, bake sales, card parties, a dance flop, Xmas card sales—never knew a trip cost so much—new lights for the school—shower—new paint—and finally the picnic and Mary Jane's watermelon,, graduation, and the trip with the seniors. 1949- 50 Starting off the fall with the new paper—comparing it with other school papers around and feeling proud—the junior high school basketball team—fine bunch of boys to work with—the trip to Johnstown—using a bus instead of cars for regular games—the new name ’.ferriors bringing the new T shirts—formation of minstrel show idea—minstrel show itself—I never knew X was coaching a group of professional actors—packed house gratifying—making money for the seniors again, candy,, very successful dance, selling of T shirts will do it—oratorical contest—Dorothy's wonderful try—and again picnic, graduation:, and senior trip. Above all though, I will remember the students and teachers in ouir school. Other principals may tell of the high type student he has, but after seeing these high types in various public places, X am thankful that I am principal of Richville. The faculty has been wonderful to me and X hope thp.t they ftcX I have retaliated by help- ing them 7;henever X could. This year's faculty is excellent, as was last year's when we finally hired Mr. Vrooman to stay with us. The people of Richville should consider themselves very fortunate to have such good teachers, who, because they are local, will stay hero at the salaries offered in this small system. Any of them could go junto a larger system and due to their ability and experience, command much larger salaries,. The Foard of Education and I have had some differences, but it nas all come out in.the wash, and I just hope that all the future °oqius will be as cooperative as this one has been. T . ®° all, I have had two enjoyable years in Richville and 3 n°pe, tha't the townspeople and students and children have profited as much as I have.
