l fl C7 18 - student life SNOW DAY IN SEPTEMBER? Since the water rose so high at the electrical transforming plant in Niles Valley, many area residents were without electricity. Autumn proved unpredictable this year. Temperature variedg early in the day it was cold enough for wool sweaters and in the afternoon sleeveless shirts were the best choice. Frustrated school students pondered over their choice of clothing in the morning. The warm weather surprised everyone. Wellsboro experienced not one Indian sum- mer day but sixg this made an unusual record for the community. Then immediately the sunshine turned to rain as September brought an unexpected occurrence with rain falling relentlessly. There was a question echoing through the minds of Wellsboro residents, Will this end up like the flood of 1972? The people of Wellsboro looked upon the school officials to make a decision concerning the security of the students in the area. It seemed inevita- ble that the voice of the radio announcer would greet each early morning listener to those famous and longed words, The Wellsboro Area Schools will be closed to- day. The closing was not on the account of snow causing treacherous driving, but rain causing impassable roadways. All students were left to devise other means of entertain- ment rather than cold weather recreation. It could have been a cool refreshing dip in the nearby street or mass production of mud pies. The flood of 1975 stirred memories of 1972 and hopefully will not happen again. The Wellsboro Schools want to use their snow days for snow. not rain. 'k iiiiiit 'kitiii William Hill Wells was a Capable leader of Wellsboro in 1804, be- ing a Federalist U.S. Senator from Delaware. He was opposed to President Jefferson and was one of the seven senators who voted against the annexation of Louisiana. l Students found the unusual warmth of the autumn weath- er a refreshing break from classes.

M Ji, if-Y' ' uc sn? r The town watched with growing interest as the construction of the new County Office Building progressed. student life - 17 TRADITIO GIVES WAY T0 CHANGE Within the next few years, if progress does not slow down, the signs marking the borough limits will have to be changed. In- stead of reading Borough of Wellsboro the signs will read City of Wellsboro. Progress became noticeable as citizens witnessed the opening of a new plaza in October 1975. The plaza was the first discount shopping center in the community. These modern stores remain outside of town, but in town the county office building has been torn down and a new one stands in its place. In the late spring of 1973, the old county office building was condemned by the De- partment of Labor Industries. The major rea- son for the decision was the Children's Ser- vices Department had no outside entrance from the upstairs. This created a hazard. The building had reparations several times before and could not be fixed again. Since the brick was in bad condition and the cost of renova- tion was extremely high, a new building was agreed upon. On May 20, 1974, bids opened and on November 20, 1974, L. Robert Kimble and Associatesfrom Evansburg, PA., received a contract. The estimated cost totaled 351,100,000 and the completion date was set for February 15, 1976. The new building consists of cement block outside and stone facing inside. The builders expect the brick colors to match the adjoining edifice after three years of deterioration. The new build- ing has room for everything from Probation to Voter Registration. Rooms and offices in the basement will be rented. The District Justice pays S300 a month for rent and there are expectations for a lot of income from payments. All the money goes toward the cost of the new building. w 12 1 1 Q Wellsboro'si 'K first newspha- Q per was e x Tioga Pioneer, 1' y which went in- i Q to publication Q 'n 1825.
