Schroon Lake Central School - Wildcat Yearbook (Schroon Lake, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1979 volume:

The class of 1979 would like to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Harris. Being with us for fourteen years as principal, he has shown fair- ness and understanding towards the students. For many years, Mr. Harris was devoted to keep- ing our school one that we could be proud of. Both friends and school members will always re- member him for the wonderful person he was. Special Tribute All the student body of Schroon Lake Central, espe- cially the seniors want to thank you for devoting thirty years of your life to helping others with your nursing skills. Best Wishes in the future. 2 The oldest doctor to continue practice is Fredrick Dawson, who was the first doctor to receive his license in the 20th cen- tury on Jan. 1, 1901 and was still practicing in April 1975, in his 99th year. Special Thanks Thank you for your three years of sincere help as our advisors. A special thanks to Mr. Lavarnway for being our homeroom teacher for our four years of high school, who en- couraged us to make the most of our last years in school. Colonel Ernest Achay Laftus served as a teacher over a span of 73 years from 1901 till 1975 Mr. Lavarnway see what you have to look forward to. Principal Mr. Werner Principal’s Message Although I didn't arrive in Schroon Lake until nearly the middle of the school year, it's been a pleasure for me to become acquainted with this year's senior class and be part of your high school experience. It's my hope that what you've learned here, through both happy and unhappy events, in and out of the class- rooms, will stand you in good stead as you move on to assume the responsibilities of adulthood. May you have the desire and abil- ity to make even a small part of the world better than you find it. Board Of Education David L.

Freshmen Initiation The largest sundae was twelve feet high and weighing 7,250 lbs., this gigantic ice cream concoction was enjoyed by thousands in New York City's Central Park on August 30, 1976 you light up my life Good-bye To The Seventies The Seventies have come and gone We start a brand new number But they can't go out without a thought of all we will remember. Princess Anne married in the royal way And All In The Family had alot to say. A man from Plains with a chubby brother, Bill became the head hauncho on Capital Hill. We wrapped up a canal and gave it as a gift Meanwhile back in the States Billy Beer was giving us a lift. The Watergate era was left in the past And they promised us this event was going to be the last. The Beatles broke up along with Sonny and Cher But they're still singing out there......Somewhere. We said good-bye to the King of Rock And Middle East peace was all the talk. Bing Crosby sang his last lullabye And Charlie Chaplin bid us good-bye. Bon fires arose with draft cards...... and others And the crusades went on for the rights of our brothers. Muhammed Ali won his title three times While keeping us amused with his repetoir of rhymes. Hank came to Atlanta Stadium and broke Babe's record there While Farrah Fawcett gave new meaning to the words Teeth and Hair. Star Wars was hot along with Travolta and Stylone as Rocky and Grease set a new tone. We can't close the decade without a mention.... of the Bicentennial and all its attention. It was our 200th year as a nation free In free Speech, free Ideas and the defending of equality. In September of 1978 Muhammad Ali became a three-time heavyweight boxing champion. Also, the largest known fortune ever made in a fighting career is an estimated $49,750,000 amassed by Ali up to July, 1977. 47 1978 BASEBALL CHAMPS WE ARE NO. 1 Front; J.Wemett, D.Peterson, F.Kamine, R.Clark, C.DeZalia, D.Johnston, A.Kohler, D.Hanchett, K.Moses, Back; J.Armsrong, L.Thatcher, J.Wilson, J.Mingo, J.Konis, D.Slovek, A.Seeley, J.

Everybody worked as a team which took work, skill, patience and a little luck. A year- book adds experience to those who plan on a career in journalism or to those who just do it for fun. Thank you Mr. Mrs. Glebus for putting up with all of us this year and for your help and advice. We couldn’t of done it without your help. To all you Juniors who plan on working on the yearbook next year, good luck and all the success to you. What a challenge and great experience it has been for us.
