ACatl0ll I I Dedications of any kind are often difficult. This is especially true when so many people at Warrior Run have meant so much to the Class of 1980. We feel especially proud to be the 25th graduating class from the Warrior Run School District. As such, we have identified closely with many faculty members, the administration, and the school staff. However, one person does stand out as one, who in many quiet ways and sometimes not so quiet, always seems to be there when needed, and assists any student or group who needs help. A person who has been active at one time or another in most of the school programs, and through these activities has become a friend. Many happy memories will continue as we, the Class of 1980, dedicate this Silver Annivere sary Warrior to lVlr. Lester Lee. lVlr. Lester E. Lee

1 .7!ze jirof jxfenfy jiue euro The Warrior Run School District was formed twenty-five years ago. After many midnight sessions, the final jointure resulted. Involved were the West Branch Joint School tan earlier iointure of Watsontown Borough, Delaware Township, lVlcEwensville, and Gregg Townwhipl and the North-Mont Joint School District tan earlier iointure of Turbotville, Anthony Township, Limestone Township, and Lewis Townshipb. The Warrior Run District accounted for parts of three counties and eight school districts. The original school board consisted of forty members, five from each of the eight districts. Advantages of the new iointure included more variety in activities in- cluding co-ed sports, expansion of boys' athletics, greater opportunities in academics, better-supplied libraries and science laboratories, and improved yearbooks. By contrast, West Branch High School offered football, basket- ball, and band, North-Nlont offered wrestling. If We H NIMH gdgk -V an CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE WARRIOR RUN SCHOOL DISTRICT lt was evident that as early as 1949, a need for a new secondary school in the area was obvious to some of the directors. December 15, 1952 A report was made regarding the meeting held in the Dept. of Public ln- struction at which time it urged that the West Branch Joint School and the North-Mont Joint School should become one large ioint organization. June 21, 1954 The Supervising principal reported on the enrollment in the schools following a discussion held on the possibility of receiving Department ap- proval ofa building for the West Branch Joint School. A motion was agreed that the county superintendent be asked to call a meeting with the North- Mont Joint School to further discuss a jointure with them. July 19, 1954 The supervising principal reported that the county superintendent stated that the North-Nlont Joint board was not interested in meeting with the West Branch Joint board at this time. lVlarch 21, 1955 Dr. C. D. Jenkins, County Superintendent, reported to the board that the North-Nlont Joint School, as a result of the letter received from Dr. Swan, had passed a resolution stating they were willing to re-open negotiations with the West Branch Joint School. The board of directors of the West Branch Joint School then passed a motion stating that they were willing to re-open nogotiations providing that a definite program of action to which the directors of the North-Mont Joint School are willing to accede will be presented and that the meeting be held within a period of 30 days. lVlay 16, 1955 Since the meeting with the directors of the North-llllont Joint School had not been productive, a resolution was introduced and unanimously ap- proved petitioning the State Council on Education to permit a final room schedule to be issued to Warrior Run Joint School for the creation of a secondary school. June 8 81 9, 1955 The Warrior Run Area Joint School is formed by the directors comprising the West Branch Joint School and the North-Nlont Joint School effective the first Nlonday in July, 1955. Article 8 of the agreement - any secondary school constructed in the new jointure be in the vicinity of the Warrior Run Church- was the major obstacle. Robert S. Rishel, Turbotville, was elected temporary chairman. Mrs. Frances Diehl, West Branch secretary, served as temporary secretary for the board. June 20 was set for the first meeting of the new group at Turbot- ville. The meeting began at9 p.m. Wednesday night and continued until 2 a.m. Thursday morning. An executive committee was formed. lt consisted of 16 members, two from each district. Regular meetings of the executive committee were held the third Monday evening of each month. Orrin G. Cocks was supervising principal of the West Branch Joint School, and Joseph Wolfe was supervising principal ofthe North-Mont Joint School. Abram Fairchild was president of the county board. June 20, 1955 A motion was unanimously approved that preliminary data be submitted for a room schedule for a new junior-senior high school building. 1 '2 'ey-ni f .. ,g .
