C ass Histor Late in the fall of 1963, the halls of the newly constructed Sullivan County l-ligh School were filled with students for the first time. Although it was a new experience for all, it was especially trying and frightening for us the youngest group, seventh graders. We were finally entering high school, a big step for us. Hard to accept at first, was the fact that the three schools which we had attended were dissolved. We found ourselves combined as one in S.C.H.S. lt was difficult because close ties with our former schools existed in us all.

Sophomores now, we were eligible to receive class rings, a tangible expression of our relationship with S.C.H.S. Our officers were kept busy collecting for the rings and
