This group makes the decisions and formulates the policies that guide our school system. The Board is responsible tor the efficient manage- ment ot the schools, the economical expenditure of public funds, and the proper accounting to the public for the Work of the schools. Employment of all teaching and administrative personnel comes under the Boards jurisdiction. A safe, coordinated transportation system of school buses must be operated under its guidance. It must see that buildings are kept in good condition, and that a long-range building program provides for future needs. Serving without financial reward, the Board of Education give freely of their time and energies to provide every boy and girl in our Central Schools with the best educational opportunities. The officers of this group are: President, lohn Kelsey, Vice-President, Graydon Davis, Clerk, Walter Embser, School Attorney, Francis O'Connor, and Treasurer, Glade Weimer.

X 1 -r Glam As we leave Wellsville High, we pause at the portals to recall the memories of past years. We entered Wellsville High in September of 1943 as lowly seventh graders, we made our debut before the school with a speaking pro- gram presided over by our class president, Mary Rigas. Our first grown-up party was held on Valentine's Day, high-lighted by an amateur program featuring Fosters Rag Time Band with maestro Mary Alice waving the baton. We returned as knowing eighth graders the following year and elected Bob McEnroe to lead us. Our class thespians first showed their talent when they presented a tropical skit entitled The King's English starring Ierry McClure, Marcy Carpenter, and Tom Smith. Ierry was a wonderful Pop and Tom scared everyone as the cannibal king. Connie Mitch- ell and Bob McEnroe led the grand march as Mother Machree and Saint Pat at our annual St. Pat's Day dance. As our freshmen year progressed, Bob again at the helm, the girls began to notice the boys as musclemen when they appeared for sports and the boys noticed the girls as, well-girls. Corinne appeared as soloist at the Spring Con- cert of the Mixed Choir and twenty-six of us appeared in the I Am An American assembly featuring Tom Duke as narrator. The big as- sembly of the year, we thought, was the speak- ing contest. Lil Abner and Daisy Mae, alias Bob McEnroe and Frieda Lamphier, highlighted the Sadie Hawkins Party and those green- frosted cupcakes were delicious. Bob Mclinroe was again elected class pre- sident in tenth grade, Our big event of the year was our party carrying out the theme of a night club with a floor show and all the trim- mings. Elaine and Ianie began their upward climb to fame as Horace the bear. Iimmy made everyone swoon as he rendered encore after encore on his harmonica and B. Z. mystified all of us with his magic show. The actors and actresses of the class displayed their talents in two one-act plays starring Ray Hunt, Beverly Knowles, and BZ. Tefft. As our assembly for the year we held a speaking contest with Christmas as the theme. The participants journeyed to Hornell to display their talents over the local F. M. station. For our lunior Prom in April we danced to the music of Al Cecchi under gaily decorated umbrellas carring out the theme of Blue Rain. Queen Mary Rigas and her attendants Connie Mitch- ell, Betty Bennett, Lois Gibler, and Barb Youmans ruled over the ball with regal ma- jesty. Our athletes proved their capabilities when the Iunior class beat the Seniors in the annuol interclass spring track meet. The year ended with the vigorous campaign for Student Council, Donnie Grimes emerging victor, and our struggle to pass finals so that we could achieve the long-awaited rating as Seniors. It certainly seemed odd to be Seniors at last. Ray Hunt was elected President. The last formal dance which our class presented was the Senior Ball featuring The Christmas Song. Decorations included Christmas trees, Christ- mas candles, Santa Claus and fire place, the music was furnished by Andy Grillo. Barb and Connie took over the Owl, Kay was editor of the yearbook, Nancy became valdictorian and Barb, salutorian. Almost Eighteen , our Senior play, proved to be a big success and everyone fulfilled their jobs as teachers on Sen- ior Day. As we pass through the halls for our last time in school, many other memories come back to us. If only we could do all of it over again! 5 Q: - 'VV V - aff iq A' ' ,'f'f'4l, 5 5 as ig? if-if Ei: , 1 , :X f f an.. -1' ,VV t K 35 . - 2 , , K . ,Q -:Y ' -ygesig P A Sm QQ? 2 f f - - a K W E ' 1 . s fs I .

Norl3lKelSeY' M 0000 It The yearbook staff has tried to combine the elements of enthusiasm, idealism, sincerity, naivete, and unsuppressed thought into this year's Sonnontouan so that the class may have an intensely realistic picture of its ten month school year. The editors have tried to be candid, honest, and artistic in their selection and rejection of material. Those who were appointed to be responsible for this yearbook are as follows: Kathryn Brandes, Editor, Nancy Kelsey, Managing Editor, Betty Bennett, Business Manager. Mar- cella Carpenter, Mary Geary, Margaret Dean, Agatha Wasserloos, Cary McMurtry, Mary Rigas, and Cecil Smith were chosen to do the Activity Write-ups, while Frances Kozlozski, Elaine Neu, Stewart Boring, and Charles Tefft were elected to do the Art, Senior Write-ups, Photography, and Sports, respectively. In considering the art for the yearbook the desire for something new, clever, and modern was expressed by the staff. As a new feature the Sonnontouan contracted with the pub- lisher to imprint the names of the individual Senior Class members in gold on the covers of the yearbooks. The staff appreciates the interest the Administration and Faculty have taken in the Sonnontouan. Their cooperation with the members of the staff has helped vitally in meet- ing the dead-line and in the publishing of the book on time.
