OZ-Z n O' V C7 C7 SHARON SPRINGS CENTRAL SCHOOL SHARON SPRINGS, NEW YORK DEDICATION Looking back, we see Mr Fitch in a position of educator, leader and friend He was always there when we needed him, whether it be for advice or lunch money. Always versatile, his participation in student life encompassed not only the learning aspect but the achieving one as well. His guidance and his confi- dence in us will help us to build strong standards for ourselves As we leave Sharon Central, we would like to dedicate this 1979 Clarion to Mr. Robert Fitch to express our appreciation for providing stepping stones toward our future 2 . . like the autumn sun. . . it’s only just begun' ’ The Senior Class would liked to extend a very special welcome to Mr Henry L. Grishman as our new superintendent. We wish him luck with his new position and may it prove to be rewarding. I must admit in the short time I have known our graduating seniors that they have impressed me as an unusual group of young men and women. I sincerely hope that they maintain their dedication, warmth, sincerity, and enthusiasm through their future endeavors. With the attitudes they have displayed they are destined for much success Best of wishes, Mr Henry L. Grishman 3 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Mrs Joan Baxter President Mr Robert Cummings Mr Walter Kahabka Mr Folyd Kettler The future of our country rests in the hands of our young people You are the leaders of tomorrow Take a conscientious approach to your responsibilities Our nation faces many difficult tasks during the next century With your help we can resolve the issues and move forward as a nation Mr Vacca Mr Douglas Goodale Mr William Munz Mr Joseph Vacca Guidance Counselor 4 . all the years will come and go and take us up, always up 11 For Auld Lang Syne Mr Washburn has taught hundreds of students the safe way to drive during his tenure at Sharon. His true title should be that of Jack-of-all-trades', from driving instruction to the planting of crops, balancing the school's budget to winning first prize with the school's FFA exhibit at the county fair We have taken pride in all that he has done at Sharon Springs Central School Mrs Handy has always been known for her gracious ways and uncanny ability to do the right thing in every sit- uation She has been an invaluable source of information and guidance to countless classes as their advisor, and is recognized throughout the state for her work with the FHA. Because of their many services to the school, we would like to recognize Mr. Harrie Washburn and Mrs. Armandine Handy for their devotion and painstaking efforts to S S C S. 5 . like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage, sail our ship out on the open sea. . The Senior Class would like to take this opportunity to add a special thanks to Mr Harold Bresett for all he has done for us in the past. He was always there when we needed him and we regret that he could not be with us during our last year We wish him the best of luck in the future 6 Life — so they say is but a game and they let it slip away Love — like the Autumn sun Should be dying but it's only just begun Like the twilight in the road up ahead They don’t see just where we re going And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go And take us up, always up We may never pass this way again Dreams — so they say Are for the fools and they let them drift away Peace — like the silent dove Should be flyin' but it's only just begun Like Columbus in the olden days We must gather all our courage Sail our ship out on the open sea Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go And take us up — always up We may never pass this way again So I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile I may never pass this way again That's why I want it with you 'Cause you make me feel like I'm more than a friend Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end I may never pass this way again That's why I want it with you We may never pass this way again THE SENIORS Cindy Caponera “The future is not a gift; It is an achievement.” Laurence Rolande Clarke Larry Andrea Cousineau Drea” The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong in the broken places 11 Timothy Engler Party anyone?

From the streets of New York City to the interior of a Salvation Army mission, the action” took place saving a dice game here and a romance there.

The most memorable scene, however unplanned, occurred between Jose Santiago (Nicely-Nicely Johnson) and Vic Bianchine (Sky Masterson) due to the SENIOR CHORUS Fifth and Sixth Grade Chorus Third and Fourth Grade Chorus SENIOR BAND Sixth Grade Band Fourth and Fifth Grade Band SENIOR JAZZ BAND ROW 1 I Clarke.
