We feel that it has been a successful year, but there is much more to be accom- plished. ln our minds The Pine Knot serves to symbolize the fact that South Dayton and Cherry Creek have joined together under mutual bonds of leadership. ln the future these bonds should draw the students of this new school closer together and serve to make them richer in knowledge and friendship. fb We dedicate this '49 uPine Knot to honor the union of the South Dayton and Cherry Creek High Schools into the Pine Valley Central School System. if 'W 2- f JY 'MMI ry' N N' N N ,fflw KAAQL.. ,Ml 623 page six Mr. Ellsworth Brown Mr. Herman Mayer South Dayton Branch Cherry Creek Branch Mr. Brown-Hello, Mr. Mayer. l want to talk to you about this year's organiza- tion of the Pine Valley Central School. Mr. Mayer-I am glad you called because I was thinking about the progress we have made this year. Don't you think the co-operation among the students has been remarkable? Mr. Brown--I certainly do. The combined athletic and music programs have been excellent in spite of the transportation problems. The new commercial department and the unified homemalcing work have been very successful. Do you feel that further combinations are indicated? Mr. Mayer-Yes, I believe that the grouping of students according to elemen- tary and high school levels will permit union oi small classes at a great sav- ing as well as provide distinct advantages to the elementary grades. What are the plans for new services next year? Mr. Brown-We are adding industrial arts on a full-time basis. We will have a woman physical education teacher. Also we plan to add a full-time art teacher. Our new librarian will devote her time to the libraries of the two schools. We plan to provide a remedial teacher in the elementary school. Mr. Mayer-I am confident that we are making steps in the right direction to make our dream oi centralization come true. Mr. Brown-I agree. lt the school, home, and community co-operate, we can make Pine Valley Central one of the outstanding central schools oi the state. Standing-R. G. Young, W. Aldorfer, I. Waters, B.

Bamcfofg ' Pine Valley Central School was organized on Iune 2, 1948 at a meeting held in the South Dayton High School Auditorium. Here voters of the union free school disricts from the towns of Cherry Creek, Dayton, Leon, Villenova, Ark- wright, New Albion, Ellington and Charlotte in Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties decided to form a central school district and elect school trustees. The following were chosen as members of the Board of Education: Iames B. Hickox, zone lp Mrs. David Charles, zone 25 Robert G. Young, zone 3: Wallace New- comb, zone 45 Mrs. Allen Dayton, zone 5: William Aldorfer and Irvin Vlfaters, zone 67 Burton Martin and Lyle Richardson, zone 7. On Iune ninth the Board or ganized with the following officers: President, William Aldorferp vice-president, Irvin Waters: secretary-clerk, Lyle B. Richardson. The Board of Education administers through the supervising principals two high schools, elementary schools, and kindergartens in the villages of Cherry Creek and South Dayton, a two-teacher school at Leon, and seven one- teacher schools. The kindergartens meet in local church buildings and the South Dayton third grade in the Cherry Creek school. New services added during the first year of centralization include two kindergartens, a school nurse, a part-time dental hygienist, French class, a separate fifth grade teacher at South Dayton, a full-time commercial teacher at South Dayton, and beginning courses in in- dustrial arts. The music, homemaking, and athletic programs of the two high schools were combined. A Mr. I.

The dear old studies that we took And assignments we have read, Will seem like fun, when we shall look At life's rough road ahead. ln seventh grade, how we would boast Since we started to pass to classes. lt was then we had our first wiener roast After climbing the pasture fences. We moved upstairs for our eighth grade year And ruined the patience of teachers, But the greatest trouble we had to fear Was the taste of Regent's features. Our solemn tribute we pause to give To a classmate we have told farewell, Eleanor Sandy, who no longer could live When a swimming mishap befell. Then into high school We advanced And found our studies harder, But we all seemed to be entranced And glided on still farther. The Sophomore Hop was next to be done As we toiled to earn some money, ' Then a skating party was lots of fun And our path seemed rather sunny. Now Iuniors we soon came to be, 'Twas then our rings we bought, And sponsored a dance of novelty After much discord and thought. Still that same year we had a play Damsels,in Distress by name. At Norm's we had a party gay Treating the winners of our Card campaign. Magazine sales and a movie we had And from our Carnival we survived, But for all the work, we were really glad When time for our trip arrived. Our trip was superb in every way With the Baseball game and all the sights, The only wish was that we could stay In Washington under the bright lights. We have come to the end of our school days so dear But the memories will always remain, We've had lots of fun and fellowship here And through studies We've made a gain. So depart in peace, my classmates so dear And tread the path that you choose, But in each heart I'm sure there's a tear For the fellowship that we will lose. Our first activity of our Freshman year was a wiener roast held September l3. We all attended the annual Halloween Party held October 26 in the C. C. H. S. gym. Our first money raising project was a Valentine Tag Day. On April 3 we held a Freshman Banquet in the gym. We also, had a trip to the Buffalo Science Museum. A good time and lots of fun were had in our first year high school. We started the Sophomore year out with a money raising project of a Turkey Feast on November 14. ln February we ordered and sold C. C. H. S. stickers. On May 23 we held our first dance. It was a huge success. In our Iunior year we had many activities, among the many, we recall the following: on November 10, we entertained the Seniors by having a dinner at the school and later go- ing to the show at Falconer. In November we held our Harvest Dance , the first money-mak- ing project of this year. On Ianuary 18, we gave a bingo party. Many people were present and everyone enjoyed themselves. On April 30, we presented our junior play Miss Chatter- box . During the year we bought and sold pencils. ln june, we had a wiener roast at Skiff's Cabin, thus climaxing that year. We were very busy during our Senior year. The Iuniors entertained us with a dinner at R'amsey's and the show Rope after. VV' e sold Christmas Cards, magazines, stationery, and candy. We presented our senior play Red-headed Stepchild in November. We attended a dinner in the gym with the South Dayton Branch Seniors and we all had a joyous time. In February we held the annual Valentine Dance of the year. We had one big moment when we started to Washington. Along with a fine tour, we had a nice gang of kids for company. Our May Dance, where the king and queen were crowned, was a success and was very decorative. Our very biggest moment of our high school career was Commencement. It was the end of one phase of our life and the beginning of another. twenty is .Wx W J nr SX fwfr gg 3 ' llllli M 1 1 'A1 1 v ' .ii ?' M?ff ' 1 ,Q EQ J' page twenty-one Seated-I. Howcxrd, I R.

The Iuniors, just one year short of the biggest year of their lives, are fast approaching this final and most eventful year in school. This year the Iuniors sponsored two Baked Food Sales, each a huge success. ln November they combined the sale of Christmas Cards and station- ery. . Their play Fathers Money on March 25, drew a very big crowd, and the class is looking forward to presenting their Senior Play. Nelson Dye, the class vice-president, was out of school for some time as the result of an operation, but he is back to good health now. We really hope that this class has a lot of luck next year and that they have all the fun we have had during our Senior year. page twenty-four Seated, Lett to Right--I. Durfee, I. Bentham, I.

To start the year off right, the juniors entertained us seniors by taking us to dinner at Rarnsey's Restaurant and then to the show in Iarnestown. All of us had a wonderful time. Stationery and card sales filled up their spare hours after Christmas until they started working on their play, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town , which they put on April 8. Their long awaited rings finally came March 7 and they spent the next two weeks showing them oft to everyone whom they could get interested. Were they proud of them! They have passed into the Autumn years of their school life, which have aifordedthem many happy days. They know that next year will bring many new opportunities cmd will prove to be some of the happiest days ot their school years. page twenty-five Seated-R. Earle, B. Hill, ,I. Reynolds, M.

The sophomore class with one year of experience behind them are on their way to many future experiences: some pleasant, some perhaps trying. This class started the year off with a bang by selling candy at all of the home basketball games, and realized a profitable income. Besides selling candy they sponsored the annual Sophomore Hop on March ll, and had numerous Baked Food Sales during the course of the year. It certainly looks as though this class has a good start toward the future educationally, financially and athletically. The fact that three of their members played varisty basketball this year, really shows that they are well-represent ed in the sports field. We wish this class all the luck in the world for anything they plan for the future. Seated-A. Marvin, S. Van Wormer, C. Fink, R. Noel, B. Colvin, O, Wellman. Second Row-Mrs. Hall tAdvisorl, I.

The glorious deeds of the class of '51 are to go into printl There- fore, the most remote places of the world shall learn the truth about this famous group. When they entered school this year they felt very important. No longer were they green Freshmen, and soon after they had elected their officers for the year, they journeyed to Skiff's cabin for a roast. Other joyous occasions were the Christmas party at the school, a Valen- tine supper at the home of their advisor, Mrs. Hall, and their dance, Moon- light Serenade. They have had a successful year and can only wonder what the future will bring. pa t gc twenty-seven L. Wolfe, I. Howard, S. Sutter, R. Fritz. Hamilton, I. Brown, C. Mierzwa. Third Row-I.

The freshmen class, just starting their high school days, have commenc- ed to spend the best four years of their lives. Although they may not realize this fact now, we believe that it will become clear to them as they progress on through life. During the year this class had a Christmas party in the gymnasium, to which members of other classes were invited. Besides this social event, they had a Saturday night movie for the community in May and other get-togethers for their own enjoyment. We, the Senior Class, sincerely hope that the future years of school yet before this class will prove very profitable in experience and education. We feel that this class offers the school much in scholarship and athletic ability. page twenty-eight Seated-L. Colson, L. Ranke, A. Sager, M. l-Iickox, S.

They not only have taken part in the school activities of chorus, band, and orchestra, but also in all the major sports such as basketball, football, boxing, baseball, ping-pong and cheer-leading. The Freshmen Class has sponsored two assembly programs. The General Motors Previews of Progress and the Easter assembly. They held a taq day on Halloween and another on Saint Patrick's Day. They also had party at the home of the advisor, Mrs. Fuller. When they reach the qoal as seniors, they hope their last three years will have been an accumulation of knowledge and athletics. page twenty-nine Seated-V. Tarbell, N. Eclcer, H. Gens, M. Iaquay, V.

Our season had two high-lights which gave the local fans plenty of thrills. 'I'he first of these was a seven-game winning streak, early in the season, and the second was the defeat of Mayville on our home court. 'l'he biggest dis- appointment of the season was our overtime defeat at the hands of Dunkirk Industrial. At the start of the season our team was greatly handicapped by the lack of practice, but after the first two games, it was arranged so that the Cherry Creek members of the varsity could go to South Dayton and practice with the rest of the boys in the South Dayton Gymnasium. Members of our starting five were: Forwards: lack Condon and Howard Smith, Center: Bob Madison, Guards: Don Felt and Al Stearns. 'l'he starting line up of our Iunior Varsity was: Forwards: Richard Orth and Ioe Turzillo, Center: Ioe Troutman or Leland Ingersoll, Guards: Charles Miller and Don Howard.

X, A fe Some of us were cheerleaders and had the honor and privilege of be- ing the first group of cheerleaders in our new Pine Valley Central School. In- stead of electing new cheerleaders to fill the vacancies made by last year's graduating classes we combined the remaining South Dayton and Cherry Creek's cheerleaders to make a squad of seven. Immediately after combining, we chose Mrs. Astry as our advisor. Practice sessions were alternated between South Dayton and Cherry Creek. Our uniforms were white satin jackets and blue pleated skirts with black and white saddle shoes. Altogether our year of cheerleading was a success- ful one, and we sincerely wish the future cheerleaders the same success. A. Payne, E. Samuelson, I. Fox, D. Curtis, M. Miller, E. Lincoln, D.

This lack showed itself very emphatically in the win-lose column. The only veteran players to appear in the line-up were Bob Le Barron and Al Storm. Although there was this lack of experience, the team managed to win four, while dropping six to their opponents. Behind the brilliant pitching of Ken Wade and the timely hitting of Bob Le Barron the team battled its way through the season. , The best game of the season was with Cherry Creek. Ken Wade in his usual good form allowed few hits and with the surprise hitting on the part oi his teammates, they beat Cherry Creek 6-2. By the end of the season the rookies were getting into superb shape and should make up the better part of a winning team in 1949. During the season Ken Wade gave up only 26 hits. In SM games he struck out 64 men, an aver- age of 10 per game. The letter men in baseball were H. Exiord, R. Le Barron, W. Stearns, L. Smith, K. Ecker, C. Miller, A. Stearns, H. Wolie, H. Smith, D.

Glwuuf Gaeek B 1948 It was not a very successful year for the Grange and Black, winning but four while losing nine. Three practice games gave indication ofa poor year, Cherry Creek managing to win only one. An inexperienced club was handi- capped still further by the loss of Iack Condon, third baseman, in the first lea- gue game for the rest of the year. League play started out well with Cherry Creek victories over Cassa- daga and South Dayton. After two close losses to Forestville and Brocton, the team played its best game of the year beating Iamestown I. V. 6 to l, Green allowing only 3 hits. Maybe the boys played themselves out in that game be- cause they lost their last five in a row. Bucky Peters was captain of the team and also led the batters with a respectable average ot .387. Larry Green and Mel Booth shared most of the pitching duties. Those winning letters were: P. Peters, L. Green, M. Booth, D, Colvin, R. Madison, D. Orth, I. Turzillo, G. Peters, D. LoFaso, and I.

Of course our year was not all travel, among other things, we sponsored the Father and Son Banquet, and donkey basketball. We have worked out a point system, under which the one with the high- est number of points, wins either an F. F. A. jacket or the money to buy one. All of us feel that this year has offered us both enjoyment and education, by means of field trips and class-room work. page forty-six Among the many activities undertaken by the F. A. the most success- ful have been the competition at the Chautauqua County Fair, selling commer- cial seeds for Robson, operating an electrical incubator, and collecting scrap iron. These activities have netted a treasury balance sufficient to sponsor a trip to Beltsville, Maryland.

Our club program for the year included a scavenger hunt in November, a Christmas party in December, a talk on astrology by Mrs. Donald Curtis in Ianuary, a book review by Miss Eggert in February, a session on Etiquette in March, and a skating party in April. Together with the F. F. A. we sponsored a dance in November which we thought was very successful. As projects this year we subscribed to Seventeen magazine and bought an Electric Mixer as a gift for the homemaking department. page forty-eight This year was the first in which a complete course in Business was offer- ed for a business diploma. Business classes were Typewriting I, Buines Arith- metic, Shorthand I, and Introduction to Business. The largest class in business this year was Typewriting with an enroll- ment of 25. Many of the students have found this subject very useful in typing their school Work or work for others and the rough draft for this yearbook. Business Arithmetic this year was composed mostly of students trying to complete their one year of math, necessary for graduation. It is hoped that next year this course will be made up of people working for a business rnaior. Shorthand I was taught for the first year, and had a very good tum out. The Introduction to Business course is the beginning of the Business maior and therefore is comprised most- ly of Freshmen. We hope that they will continue in their start for a business CCIIGGT. Besides the subiects taught this year, business subjects under consideration for next year are: Shorthand II, Transcription, and Secre- tarial Practice.

DJ The first kindergarten in the Pine Valley Central School came into be- ing September 1948 with Mrs. Lois Timm as the teacher. It was divided into two branches, one at Cherry Creek, being held in the Cherry Creek Baptist Church every afternoon, and the other at South Dayton being held in the South Dayton Methodist Church every morning. ln the fall the enrollment at Cherry Creek was 29 and at South Dayton 34. It is the aim of the kindergarten to prepare each child for the Work of the first grade and acquaint him with the way of school life. The transition from home life to school life is a big step for a little child. Kindergarten helps to make this change a natural and happy experience through familiar songs and games that the child enjoys and through activities built around everyday things in hisvworld. Learning how to do simple tasks from beginning to end, finishing them, and putting away materials develops a sense of responsibility and self-reliance which makes a child feel secure and adequate. The kindergarten encourages the child to express his own ideas, and to enjoy Working with other children. Such an attitude will help him next year to attack the problem of learning to read and to persist until he overcomes the difficulties it offers all beginners. page fifty-three page fifty-four 5363 Top Row-Ready to go, Alma Mcxter, S, D.
