Pratt (1931-1937) Charles G. May (1937-1941), and R.K. Howe (1941-1946). Under Mr. Howe, on June 23rd, 1942, by vote of the people concerned the goal was reached. Whitesville Union Free School District combined with 11 outlying rural districts in the townships of Independence, West Union, and Willing to form the Whitesville Central School District 1. There wa3 a great need for immediate plans for a new building. The site at the west end of Main Street was chosen June 17, 1944. The firm of Duane Lymar. Associates of Buffalo drew the architectural plans for a new high school building. Because of World War II the new structure had to be postponed. Through the next few years,negotiations were carried on with the State Depart- ment for the go-ahead signal. Finally orders came through in the summer of 1948 that our district could not build a high school building but a grade building only. The architect chosen for this project was A.W.E. Shoenberg of Olean and the general construction was placed under the charge of Benz Engin- eering Corporation of Salamanca. Work began on the new building in 1949 and it is planned for use in the fall of this year, 1950. |3xTarh af Eburatum John Slack; Miles Kenyon, President, C.C. Folts, V. Pres.

Mary Elaine left our ranks because of illness. Our grade teachers were:Miss Griggs, 3, Fourth, Miss Braunschweiger (5); Mrs. Barney (6,7); Mr. Austin(8). Class members at various times in the years were: Stanley Harrison, Helen OfDell, Raymond Tucker, Thelma Smi h, Beverly and Donna Young, Willard Stives, Ellen McAllister, Homer Doty, Otto Elderkin, Charles Bledsoe, Peggy Coats, Agnes Herrick, Bruce Pritchard, Mary Smith, Wilfred Stives, George Sweigart, Harold Allen, Charley Waters, Harold Plaisted was admitted in the 4th year; Doris Hallett(5th);Katherine Billings (8th). In Sept. 1946, as green11 little Frosh we quietly wended our awe- struck way into the history room where we were to spend two years. Mrs. Pfe- iffer, our advisor,says that she liked us in spite of our surreptitious whi- spers now and then.This year was marked by several movies at Wellsville.What a Jaunt afterwards to every hill surrounding Whitesville to take everyone homel The girls cooked a spaghetti supper at the Hmkg. House early in the fall. There was a slight too much spaghet1 for the amount of water we had. Then there was a spooky Hallowe'en Party at the Coats farm-at the same place earlier a Treasure Hunt and weiner roast was held in the woods. That ghost story took a few by surprise! Betty Gotshall has joined us at the beginning of the year coming from Coudersport and Ellen McAllisterleft during the year for Troupsburg.For a June picnic Mr. and Mrs. Pfeiffer took us to Letchworth Park. In our Sophomore year Mrs. Thomas was our advisor.We ordered our rings from Rochester after much discussion. Lew Marian came from South Amherst, Ohio to Join our class. It is dimly remembered that the boys, only, enjoyed the farewell picnic in June that year.Some say they absconded with the class funds. As Juniors, we moved into the Study Hall for homeroom, where the Soph., also had their seats. Traditional rivalry did not set In too heavily in this year. In Yearbook production, however, swords were laid aside in 1950 and we've all cooperated on the WYCENIAN staff. But to get back to our Junior, Year, we chose our class flower, the yellow rose, and our colors, green and gold. The magazine campaign netted us $57.69. On an October Turkey Raffle and Bingo Party we made $55.88. In Dec. we attended a movie in Wellsville. On May 13th A1 Castle's Orchestra played for the Junior Prom. The Junior-Sr. Banquet was held at the Moonwinks on Cuba Lake. Mr. Bartoo was our mentor this year. With the approach of our Senior year, our social days which we had en- joyed the past three years were over, and it was now time to assume our res- ponsibilities as Seniors. Our homeroom was in the laboratory under the sup- ervision of Mr. Bartoo. To assist us in the years activities we chose Mrs. Pfeiffer and Mr. Jones as class advisers. Class officers were also elected at the beginning of the year:Doris Hallett. President, Lewis Marian, V.Pres. Harold Plaisted, Secretary, and Charles Deck, Treas. On Oct. 23, we sponsor- ed a Game Night, and Turkey Raffle, netting us a nice sum of $66.36 for our class treasury. For our next activity we put on the annual Hallowe'en Fair This event was very profitable increasing our treasury by a sum of $118.79. As in the past years we participated in the magazine campaign together with the Juniors. Although the contest was close, we won the campaign with a pro- fit of $124.72.In January we selected our three act play Special Delivery. Under the direction of Mr. Brewster, this play was presented March 31. Our profit was about $80.00. In Feb. we started on the annual yearbook, 'The Wycenian. We plan to present the book to the public around the first ofJtine. In the latter part of November and the forepart of Deoember,eight stud- ents in the Senior Class, wrote compositions for the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the American Legion. Betty Gotshall was first place winner and received a prize of $15. The runners up were Lewis Marian and Doris Hallett receiving prizes of $10 and $5. Now for graduation and the Washington Trip! We, the Senior Claes of 1950, being of alleged sound mind and memory, do there fore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in manner and form,we decree the follow- ing bequests. Marilyn Smith leaves her dancing abil- ity to Donna Folts. Doris Hallett wishes to will her wit- tiness to Wilma Harrison. Betty Gotshall bequests her cheerlead- ing ability to Mary Elaine Golish. Reva Whitesell wants to leave her fig- ure to Mary Ray. Katherine Billings leaves with Helen Yeager her humorous personality. Wayne Crittenden decided to leave his physics marks to Ed Bloss. To Bruce Kear, Harold Plaisted leaves his center position on the basketball court Lew Marian bequests his curly hair to Lloyd Graves. Charles Deck leaves to Bob Ellison his remarkable ability with the women. Last but not least Bob Ordway wills to Wayne Stedman his ability to go steady. The Senior Class wishes to will to the teachers,who have put forth their effort and patience to help them develop their minds and to be successful, the follow- ing things. The Senior Class leaves to Mr. Jones a 1950 Cadillac. id They want to wish Miss Schwalb a Very happy and successful married life. To Miss Young,they will a mixed chorus so she can use the S.A.B. music. To Mrs. Pfeiffer, best wishes and many thanks for helping us with the Yearbook and many other activities. To Mr. Brewster, the Seniors will a play cast that will not need any prompt- ing on the big night. To Mr. Bartoo, we will another Junior Class like the one he had in 1950. The Seniors will to Mrs. Baham her position as secretary in many years to 1 come. To Mr. Wilcox,the Senior Class leaves their best regards and good luck for the future in the new school. To Mr. Dillon, we will another 11 dumb11, Ag class like the one he had this year. The Seniors want to leave more leis- ure time to Mrs. Richmond. To Miss Baker we gratefully will anoth er group of angels such as we were. Harold Betty 3 f Thus far in the school year, the class of 1951 has spent a comparetivelv busy year. Many of the members of the class have had a shar In the direction of ac- tivities. We have begun to take up the responsible poMflonsrhich will be ours next year as Seniors. As the classes have done before us we, too, are planning a Senior Trip. As this was the first year we have beer, able to put on money-rra- king activities, we have had some successful ventures. In November we put on a combination Turkey Raffle and round and square dance. On this we netted for our treasury the nice sum of $67.83. Earlier in the year we took part in the annual magazine campaign. Thosc dear seniors , ’'our pals,' beat us out by a few dollars. Although we didn't win, the campaign was still very successful and we added a substantial amount of over $100 to our treasury. Next year we hope to win the campaign and add to our Senior Trip Fund. « We have many activities for the rem- ainder of the school year. First, we have a game night planned for Mar.2U, at which we shall also raffle off a radio. Sometime in May we plan to sponsor the yearly Junior Prom. As yet, we have not procured an orchestra but have high hope of getting The Midshipmen , the orchestra so well liked by all last year. For June we have made plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet. - Among our class members we have many talented persons:Bob,Joe,Wayne,Ed-basketball starsjMarv R.,Mary E., Ed-honor students; Joe-verily a mad scientist;Bruce,well-known in Ag work and k H and FFA projects, Mr. Eldred Bartoo has been our advisor. - We,the Junior Class pledge ourselves faithfully to carry on the traditions of our school, sood old WCS, next year. May we live up to the records and achievements of the classes which have been graduated from these hallowed halls.

In Social Studies we have learned about the nomes of people of other lands their work,how they dress,their food,and products they nave to exchange.We have learn- od how environment influences the way people live. In studying many countries we have had scenes on the sandtable illustrating some of the facts we have learned. Often in music and art we have -iad work related to the country we are studying. For Science in the early fall we made a collection of wild flowers which we pressed and mounted e had an interesting unit on stars and planets and learned to recognize some new constellations. We found the unit on magnets especially fasinating and performed several interesting experiments. i f 1 J Sherry Pritchard Gorald Slack ileaaor Allan Clair Tracy erry Mason Judy Petecson ■Valter Due 11 Jean Harrison i ■■ m Harold Peterson Marjorie Leach Gordon Hallett Eleanor Dodge At the beginning of the school year we had 22 members.

In September 1949 we started out with 27 punlls, add- ing John Cablsca on Dec. 12. We were very sorry to lose Edward and Linda Hale just before Christmas, and John Cablsca just after Christmas. At Christmas time we presented a little operetta for a school assembly. Gary Harrison was a good Santa , and the rest of us were Christmas toys for Santa's boys and girls. After the program we returned to our room for our Christmas tree and Santa Claus's Visit. Many of our parents visited us for this. On Valentine's Day we had a big Valentine box filled with valentines, and some of our mothers came then. Each reading group-Bluebirds, Kingfishers, and Redbirds has had a Reading Class and treat for its mothers. We have had several birthday treats; and Just treats because someone wanted to treat. The mumps and severe colds broke our perfect attendances. However, Sandra Buchholz has honorable mention,having been present each day and tardy only once..

We have been very fortunate to have been recipiants of nine new instruments this year with the promise of more in the future. These instruments have made an improvement in the appearance of the band and the time is not too far off when the entire out- fit can be seen in uniform. This year the chorus has a membership of fourteen, seven sopranos and sev- en altos, which meet every Monday and Wednesday afternoons during the last per- iod. Our members are: Sopranos- Betty Gotshall, Mary Elaine Golish, Mary Ann Ellison, Wanda Slocum, Gloria Smith, Joanne Freeman, Agnes Herrick, Altos:Donna Folts, Margaret Deck, Mary Jane Van Dyke, Ruth Slack, Isabelle Coleman, Anna M.

Several times during the year the chorus appeared in the assembly programs and at Christmas t}me took part in the Christmas program by singing three well known carols with Betty GotshaU as narrator for the story of Silent Night.
