PATTINGTON Supervising Principal When we heard that you were resigning this year, we first felt a little sad about it. Then we decided that we would look back beyond the many years we've known you .. .and this is what we found: Thirty-four years ago with an AB degree from Syracuse University, you began your career as a teacher and athletic coach—then vice-principal for two years. From 1929 to 1942 you were supervising principal at Chenango Forks and during that time earned your MA degree from Syracuse. The following two years you were Superintendent of Schools in thirty-one districts in Broome County, before your promotion to Assistant, and then Senior Education Supervisor with the State Education Department in Albany. After three years of distinguished service in administration and research, you were appointed, in September 1947, Supervising Principal and Purchasing Agent for Odessa (now Odessa-Montour) Central School. Here, as all our community is most gratefully aware, you have efficiently carried our two schoolbuilding programs to completion and have superbly met the growing educational needs of this enlarged central district of 150 square miles. Furthermore, in civic affairs, you have served as Chairman of Schuyler County (Seneca Drums) Boy Scouts, Member of Sullivan Trail Executive Council, Registrar of Seneca County Selective Service Board, and other posts in Red Cross, 4-H, Public Health and United States Infantry Reserves. Many of us have just learned that in 1951 you were a member of the Faculty of Albany State Teacher's College and in 1960 of the faculty of Ithaca College, that you are a specialist in Public School Finance, in School Administration and in Current Problems in Education. Also, that you are a member of the National Writers Club and the author of more than 220 published articles and stories in 68 national magazines. For all of these high achievements we are proud to salute you. And we are happier still to note that with this third-of-century of accomplishment behind you, you are yet in your mid-fifties with another vigorous career ahead and perhaps a little more time for your fishing, for your gun, and your hoe. Above all, what we of the Class of 1961 prize most is the sincere interest you took in our education—so warmly, so personally, that we each feel free to call you Prof and close friend. We salute you from that special place in our heart where you will always be! THE CLASS OF 1961 SEATED: Left to Right, George Hoffman, Irving D. Goodrich, Gilbert, Clerk; Dr. James J. Norton, Stewart J. Coats, John Superintendent of Schools; Howard A. Hanlon, President; Delmar T. Barton. Bleiler, Vice-President; Stanley Rundle. STANDING: Kenneth E. Odessa Montour Central School Board Of Education Pays Tribute to Mr. Pattington. Knowing Mr. Pattington, for even a little while, makes one aware of his boundless energy, his precision of thought, his prodigious memory, and his complete dedication to our school. John T. Barton To M. G. Pattington, Principal Odessa-Montour Central School Odessa, New York Dear Pat: It is with heartfelt regret that we face the fact that you are retiring from our school system at the end of this school year. I doubt if there is a man in the whole of New York State who has all the requirements and ability to step into your shoes as principal of our Central School. We have' indeed been lucky to have been able to retain your services as long as we have. We cannot criticize you for retiring after thirty years of service, and in mid-life while you are still young, able and vigorous enough to try some other occupation, which you evidently desire to do. I am sure that each and every man on the Odessa-Montour Central School Board joins me in wishing you every success in what ever occupation you enter when you leave our school system. While I do not wish to be sentimental, I am sure your leaving will bring tears to the eyes of many, or at least a feeling that is akin to tears. - H. A. Hanlon, Board President To Mr. Pattington Too often our daily contacts blind us to the true impact a man has on our community. Only when he has turned the reins of leadership over to another do we realize that because he has ’’passed our way” we are better for having shared his presence. Meader G. Pattington has served us well, faithfully, honestly and unafraid. During his fourteen years of service to our schools we have seen growth, strength and widened horizons. May his retirement be happy and his leisure hours be filled with everything good for himself and his family. - Frederick Stanley Rundie A copy of a letter written by Dr. James Norton, a member of the Odessa-Montour Central School Board of Education. It is not often that a school district has the good fortune to obtain for supervising principal, a man who has all the qualities that we find in Mr. Pattington. His years of experience as a teacher, administrator, educator and student of public school education gave to the school district a degree of education for the students seldom attained in even much more urban schools. To the school boards charged with providing the education for these students, Mr. Pattington provided the administrative know-how and experience which helped the board to operate a school which is better than average scholastically, and less than average in cost to the taxpayer. In these times of sky rocketing costs and increased scholastic demands, such an accomplishment is high praise, indeed, for Mr. Pattington. The school district is losing a dedicated and devoted servant of rare abilities. Pat” The one who seems always to have the answers in regard to rules and laws of the State Department — a master in school finances----the pilot light for the Board in future planning-----has an unfailing memory of past actions of the Board------keeps us all happy and busy at meetings far into the night, but he can't keep his pipe lit. Very respectfully yours, Stewart J. Coats To Mr. It is with a keen sense of personal regret that I face the fact that you are about to leave the po t you have filled so ably as supervising principal of the Odessa-Montour Central School for the past fourteen years. During that time, enrollment has increased from 701 to 1,412, number of teachers from 35 to 72, and four school districts have been added. You have directed two building expansion programs, a modern broadening of the curriculum, and you have efficiently administered the annual school budget which has grown from $134,855.57 to $753,108.19. It has been my very real pleasure to have worked closely with you as a fellow superintendent, and since 1947 as principal. I want to compliment you upon your strong personal traits of determination, tact, and sense of fairness. I appreciate deeply your spirit of cooperation and your warm personal friendship, and I wish the best of everything to you in your new endeavors. Irving D. Goodrich Mr. Pattington: I am very pleased to have this opportunity of writing on this page of the ODES- SANEAN my sincere appreciation for all you have done to guide and supervise our school and students for the past fourteen years. To me it has been a high privilege to serve on the Board of Education and to see at first hand how capably and smoothly you have met the problems of our fast-growing school districts. I am proud of the fine teaching staff and educational facilities you have directed so effectively for the benefit of our young people and for all you have done to make our school such a fine civic and social center in our community. My warmest wishes for health and happiness in your well-earned retirement. George Hoffman 6 PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SHOP SEATED: R. Clausen, J. Davis, N. Barra. STANDING: W. Goodrich. ABSENT: C.

To you, Coach Martin, we are glad to dedicate the 1961 ODESSANEAN in recognition of your long service in Physical Education. Our scouts tell us that you received your B S degree from Springfield College, the first center of basketball, and your M S degree from Ithaca College which is an outstanding institution in this field. After serving as assistant football coach and village recreation director at Minaville, New York, from 1934 to 1937, you came to Odessa. Here you have faithfully worked with young people in teaching physical education, in coaching our athletic teams and in conducting recreation programs. One measure of your skill as a coach at our school is found in your record of developing three undefeated football teams, three Lakes Region League championship teams in basketball, three in baseball, and ten in track. We share with you a sense of pride in these results and in the Sportman-ship Trophies your teams have won. We are most happy to commend you for your example and leadership in physical fitness which is still as timely and important a program for our schools as when you embarked upon it twenty-seven years ago. So it is with pleasure that we dedicate our Yearbook to you, Coach Martin, with our wish that you will continue your leadership to youth at Odessa for many years to come. 1961 ODESSANEAN STAFF io Senior Class History The class of f61 began its high school social whirl in the traditional Freshman” manner by sponsoring a dance, The Holly Hop. The following year as Sophomores we presented another dance, The Reindeer Rock, which proved to be very successful. Later in the spring we held our first record hop! In our Junior year football spectators could hear our cry of Pins! Pom-Poms! Programs! and we were launched on another money-making project. Following this we sold fruit cakes and began plans for our Junior Play, Our Hearts Were Young Gay. In January we held a record hop, The Snowman Shuffle, which added nearly $150 to our class treasury. As a climax to our busy Junior year we tripped the light fantastic at our prom, entitled, Around the World. Mr. Dolan here we come! Two days after we had embarked upon our final year, we began our stationery sales followed closely by magazines. On March 17 under the direction of Mr. Lyon we staged our play The Reluctant Reunion which climaxed our four years of money-making activities. Although we have set a great precedent which no class shall ever be able to attain, we wish all succeeding classes well. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Treasurer—J. (Running, President—C.

Of course, we all held visions of the monstrous acts the upper-class men would force upon us poor defenseless freshmen. Fortunately, after a few days of hair-raising episodes, the faculty decided to discontinue all such incidents upon the poor,poor freshman. For this wfe will be eternally grateful. After this rather shaky beginning, we settled down to the life in high school and in late October we held our first money-making project. The Pumpkin Hop, a dance featuring The Music Makers. It proved to be a tremendous success largely due to the efforts of most of our class and particularly our advisor, Mrs. Covert. We do wish to thank everyone who has helped us to adjust to this rather strange and yet rewarding period of our lives. 36 Freshman Girls FIRST ROW: Left to Right, L. Van Orden, C. White, J.

Two hundred fifty students are enrolled in the Junior High School under the supervision of Mrs. G. Carney. Besides their regular subjects they have the opportunity to spend twenty weeks exploring the fields of Art, Science, Music, Shop and Home Economics. A Junior High Student Council under the leadership of Mr. Fraboni gives the students an opportunity to gain experience in democratic living. This group sponsors one dance in May. At Syracuse on May 6, 1961, Jean Fitch of the eighth grade came in eighteenth among more than one hundred fifty starters at the annual Central New York Spelling Contest. Jean spelled all one hundred words correctly in the written eliminations, qualifying her to be among the thirty-five starters in the final oral contest. In order to reach this level, Jean had won our own school contest on March 17th, and later that month spelled at a Yates-Schuyler contest at radio station WFLR in Penn Yan. 40 7th Grade Girls FIRST ROW: Left to Right, S.

Tuttle, Although their record is below average, the boys from Odessa played better football than the scores indicate. The Odessa team outscored most of their opponents in the second half of the game, but it was the first half--------. Well, the team wants to forget that. Three of the top players on the offensive attack were Jack Scanlon, Chuck Rundle, and Rick Lovell, who gained over 400 yards each. Dennis Reppert was the team's only player to be selected to the league's All-Star Team. Only a few Seniors will be lost at graduation in June. With thirteen lettermen returning next Fall, Coach Barra feels Odessa will have a better team and a better record than the 1960 group. 72 Football E. Petrie, G. Wood, K. Hoxie. S. McNett, J.

Mr. Allen, their coach, is nevertheless, expecting a better season next year with his returning freshmen. The leading scorer this year was Tom Brown with 160 points. Leading with 178 rebounds was Pete Pevo. The most exciting game of the year with Lansing went into a sudden death overtime. Nick Brown saved the day, though, by sinking two foul shots.

Larry defeated Robert Stewart of Canisteo, who until their match last year was a Section 5 champion for two years. Coach Barra, who trained Larry Teeter for his big match with Robert Stewart, did a very good job. Coach hopes for an even better season next year for the wrestling team since he is losing only three (Meyer. Reppert and Teeter) of this year's twelve wrestlers. Coach Barra 76 KNEELING: B.
