DEDICATION 4 HISTORICAL OF OUR TOWN and SCENES SCHOOL FOREWORD The 1962 Wycenian Staff has selected a theme which we hope will be of Interest to all Whitesville residents, both young and old. Portraying this theme, Historical Scenes of Our Town and School, each division is Introduced with early or recent pictures. The unfamiliar pictures of former times have been Identified on page fifty. Because there was such a generous amount of pictures donated for our selection, it was most difficult to eliminate any. However, It was Impossible to use all; so after much consideration, we have chosen the pictures that may be seen on the following pages. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have so kindly loaned these valuable pictures to us, making our theme possible. 5 THROUGH THE YEARS AT WCS About I4.O years ago, probably about 1918 or 1920, Mrs. Carrie E. Howe wrote an article on the history of the Whitesville school. Much of the material following has been selected from her own words. Fifty-one years ago the school privileges of Whitesville were con- fined to two small district schools. District No. 1 building being in the extreme eastern portion of the vill- age, and District No. 2 building in the extreme western end. A Directory of the Village of Whitesville published in 188 4. men- tions Whitesville Free Academy at the comer of University and Union Sts. The Academic Dept, was headed by Prof. E. B. Burdick, Principal, with L. C. Allen as Instructor in History, Math, and English Language. Miss Franc Henderson, Preceptress, had the Primary Dept. School District No. 2 was in West Main St. where teacher Ellis Day taught 27 scholars. In 1879 the inhabitants of Dlst. No. 1 agitated the subject of a Union Free School. On June 12th, a meeting of the voters was called and the bal- lots cast showed 32 ayes and 20 noes for and against the establishment of a Union Free School. In October of the same year, land was purchased from Alvah Wood and In the summer of l880 a two-story building was erected. The school had already outgrown the little district school-house and the primaries had been occupying the old Bartlett Shoe Shop. The inhabi- tants were very proud of the new and commodious building. The number of teachers was increased but the school continued ungraded until September, 18814. when Albert D. Howe, as principal and Miss Franc Henderson as assistant, organ- ized a system of grades—nine in all. Later a tenth grade was included and higher studies were introduced. Non-resident students began to enter for grade work. More assistant teachers were employed and in 1887, the tenth grade having completed the course of grade studies was graduated Each member of the class had passed the examinations with honor, and all Whitesville was proud of the first graduating class of the Union Free School. Albert D. Howe continued as principal of the school until 189$, having graduated six classes during his eleven years stay in the school. Miss Henderson continued her work for ten years, having charge of primary, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Ij-th, and 5th grades. Prof. Howe was assisted, too, by Mrs. Carrie Howe, instructor for 12 years. Pupils had been going to Wells- ville to take Regents Examinations until 1895 when our school was admitted to the University of the State of New York. Mainly through the efforts of Dr. M. B. Titus and Prof. Fred C. White, rapid strides of advancement marked the years 1895 and 1896. Our village had always been noted for its good schools--even before the establishment of the Union Free School. Taxpayers of the dis- trict had supported the school with good liberality and the introduction of the State Regents work seemed to be a crowning glory. The number of pupils increased rapidly until it was necessary to either build an addition to the old building or erect a new one. Our progressive community, being aware of future requirements, voted to erect a building which would be comparable to any similar Regents schools in the state. Districts 1 and 2 were united and a fine brick building was erected at the corner of Park Street and Commercial Avenue (Cow Palace Lane) during 1903 at a cost of $7,942 on a site valued at $500. The untiring efforts of J. M. Reed, principal for 5 years, and C. R Miller, principal for 5 years, raised the standard of our school until now it holds an enviable position among the Regents Schools of the State. The Booster, published by the Alleco. Printing Co. in October, 1913 stated: During the school year 1912 to 1913, 154 pupils were enrolled. $525 was appropriated by the State for general school purposes. For maintenance $4045«29 was expended. (cont'd) This entire page is sponsored by ROCKWELL'S STORE, WELLSVILLE Of this sum $1 1 0 was paid as salary to each of the k teachers. The prin- cipal was paid $850. In 1926 the school building was doubled in size by an addition on the south side. In a letter from Alvin R. Dunbar, principal in 1926-1927 he says, We conducted school that year in the old Grange Hall for a month or so, waiting for the addition to be completed. There were about 150 pupils in the whole school at the time. I remember all the dissension of some of the townspeople when we decided to dedicate the new gymnasium by holding a dance in it. The idea of having a dance in the school was unheard of, but we had many more after that. Steadily the courses offered in the curriculum were increased. Sepa- rate Art and Music Departments were instituted in 1931. The Commercial Department was introduced in 1939, the Agriculture and Homemaking in 1942. We became a centralized school district in 19l 2 including parts of Independence, Willing, and West Union townships. Our modem elementary building was erected on the present location and dedicated in 1950. To this a fine high school addition was added in 1956 so that now in 1962 our 300 pupils enjoy very fine facilities. WCS is indeed a pleasant place in which to spend one's achool days.

Kennedy Dec. 6, 1961 at a surprise party at Sun Inside, Monterey, Mass, marking Mr. White's 90th birthday. In a telegram the President stated: My very best wishes to you on your 90th birthday. May you enjoy happiness on your birthday and for many years to come. About 20 guests honored Mr. White, the elder statesman of the Berkshire Co. Democratic Committee in recog- nition of his untiring work for the Democratic party. Mr. White was principal at Whites- ville at the time the Regents Exams were started here, about 1895-6. Later he taught at Patterson, N. Y. and at Corawall-on-the-Hudson before going to New York City in the early 1900s. His field was American History and Civics. He was Vice-Principal of the Morris High School in the Bronx for several years and at the time of his retirement in 19l l was Acting Principal of the Pox St. Annex of Morris High. During World War II he taught Am. Hist, and Civics in the Navy R0TC pro- gram at Dickinson College at Carlisle, Penna, and stayed there for another year or two after the war. Since then he has lived In retirement at Monterey. He was a graduate of Alfred Uni- versity and did graduate work at Columbia University. He was Albany representative of the New York City Teachers Association many years—a clever lobbyist, according to many members of the Legislature. We are proud to take this oppor- tunity to cite his achievements. 7 This entire page is sponsored by KRAMER'S JEWEILRY AND INSURANCE ANNUAL STAFF SENIORS JUNIORS Editor: Judy Buchholz Larry Hallett Subscriptions: Lois Pritchard Carol Lewis Lynette Canfield Judy Graves Business Manager: Larry Lewis Tom Nelson Photography Editors: Marjorie Bledsoe Elton Harris Cheryl Buchholz Arden Pfeiffer Nancy Hall Art: Elton Harris Kenny Coleman Judy Grantler Linda Stebblns Sports Editors: Harvey Stebblns Frank Payne Paul Smith Gary Plaisted Dick Allen Advertising: Bonnie Phillips Robert Dibble Sharon Nye Larry Pritchard Donald Stafford Kenny Kear Terry McCullough Literary Editors: Patricia Allen Patricia Graves Patricia Chilson Sharon Lewis Frances Nesbit This entire page Is sponsored by WILIMAN'S FUNERAL HOME and WILIMAN'S BEAUTY SHOPPE. 8 ■imrm IMS msm. mm ADMINISTRATION jitf-S mm PRINCIPAL Edward Brewster SECRETARY Mrs. Lucille Baham SCHOOL Carl Weihoneig Edward Brewster Robert Lewis Walter Flanagan BOARD Larry Stafford Frank Rigby Harold Van Dyke This entire page is sponsored by THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Freeman Ordway Lewis Scoville Don Kramer Clair Kear This entire page is sponsored by MINGES DAIRY, WELLSVILLE.

Recorded below are the honors bestowed upon him in America's largest city. MR. MATHEMATICS TURNS A QUIET 85 (Reprinted from The New York Times of October 22, 1961) Mr. Mathematics is 85 years old today, but as plain Dr. Merle Bishop he is not about to make a big thing of it. He was guest of honor at a reception in the Tutoring School of New York, where students and faculty baked a cake for him. He will also be a special guest at a reception in the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn. At both places he is a familiar and beloved figure. He has been teaching at the Tutoring School since 1956, shortly after his second retire- ment. He has been an elder emeritus at the church for even longer. A slight, pixie-ish individual with a crown of white hair. Dr. Bishop retired for the first time in 19l;7 after teaching mathematics in the city's four colleges for 20 years. Restless in retirement, he then became adjunct professor in New York Univer- sity, where he remained until 1956, his second retirement. Still restless. he joined the Tutoring School and is still going strong. Faculty members, students, and guests all vouch for his sparkling wit. Thousands of students will remem- ber Mr. Mathematics. He started teaching at Boys High in Brooklyn, one of the greatest secondary schools in the country, in 1906 and stayed there 21 years as teacher and then department head. Dr. Bishop was born in Spring Mills on Oct. 22, 1876. He was grad- uated from Whitesville Union School in 1893 Geneseo State Normal in 1896, Hamilton College in 1902. Every sum- mer he returns to the family farm at Whitesville. He has lived on Clinton St. in Brooklyn for more than 32 years and he is not about to move. Last year, even during severe snowstorms. Dr. Bishop never missed a class. MERLE BISHOP RECEIVES HONORS IN NEW YORK CITY (Reprinted from The Whitesville News of April 12, 1951) Dr. Merle Bishop was one of 17 persons who were presented Oscars as tribute from the Youth United Organi- zation for their contributions to alleviation of juvenile delinquency in the metropolitan area at a dinner attended by over 1000 people held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to leaders in education and other fields of pub- lic service. From the program: His long career began in 1896 as principal of the Springweter Graded School. He has gained considerable popularity because of his sincere personal interest in his students. He has a happy faculty of remembering his students by their first names. A graduate of Hamilton College in 1902, Professor Bishop received his PhD from New York University. He taught at the New Rochelle High School from 1903-1906; Boys High School from 1906-1927 where he gained the repu- tation of being one of the most pop- ular teachers on the faculty; City College from 1930-19U7 and for the past 5 years at New York University. Professor Bishop's pet peeve is undone homework. Students, recog- nizing his dislike, willingly cooper- ated because of the inspiration he brought to them. 'I really like teaching,' Pro- fessor Bishop confides to his friends. The students openly state, 'We like the professor.' Giving pupils indi- vidual help in his spare hours in his office has inspired the formation of the '100$ Club in his two freshmen classes.

Diane Howe was chosen Secretary and Jerry Smith was elected Treasurer of the class, class. For Student Council representatives Dean Lewis and Juanita Graves were chosen. Athletic Association representatives elected were Mike Ainsworth and Cindy Lewis. There are four seventh graders who are in senior band.

The Junior Class of Whitesville Central School did not participate as a group in any activity or social events from January to June of the 1960-61 school year. In September of the 1963-62 year, the Juniors took part in the annual magazine campaign, however, losing the traditional race for subscriptions to the Seniors. On October 27, the Juniors held a very profitable record hop in the school gym. The class also packed Red Cross boxes this fall. That concludes the accomplishments of the Juniors, although they are planning feverishly for the annual Junior Prom and Junior-Senior Banquet that will occur in the Spring of 1962. 24 This entire page is sponsored by the WORTHINGTON CORPORATION, WELLSVILLE.

Last year the same two clubs met in the finals. The Blue Jays dropped Rush- ford 15-2 and 15-3 In the quarter- finals and defeated Richburg 15-8 and 15-9 in the semifinals. The boys played in the Section V tournament in Rochester on April 15. Last year (I960) Whitesville downed Cohocton to annex the section title. This time we won our first two games defeating York and Red Jacket and then lost the third game to Cohocton. BASEBALL Players of the I960 Team missing this year were Bob Loughlin, Blair Pritchard, Harold Stebbins, and Philip Slack. Senior members of the team were Edward Empson, Walter Nesbit, Robert Frost, and Maynard Pritchard. Paul Smith was the outstanding player of the year. He led the team in RBI's, had the most hits and did nearly all of the pitching. Other prominent players were Maynard Prit- chard in hitting and Edward Empson in pitching. Of the games they played the over-all win-loss record was one and six. SOCCER Running...passing...kicking... blocking...all in a day's work of soccer. Uniforms sweaty, dirty, tattered...bruised shins...scalped knees...all in the winning of the game. Led by the goaling of Wayne Stebbins and the fine play of Bob Dibble, Gary Plaisted, and Larry Pritchard, the Blue Jays put on a fine showing in spite of their rough schedule. BASKETBALL Although hampered by the inju- ries of Paul Smith and Gary Plaisted, the Blue Jays showed fine hustle and spirit throughout. Lack of height and inexperience were a major factor in the team's record. Although down in the standings, the Blue Jays have one of the out- standing players in the conference in co-captain Bob Dibble. This entire page is sponsored by THE FIRST TRUST COMPANY OF ALLE. CO. 37 WHITESVILLE OF YESTERYEAR EXCERPTS FROM THE DIRECTORY OF THE VILLAGE OF WHITESVILLE, 18814. Edited by R. B, J, Wildman Whitesville is in many respects a model village. Situated like a story-book hamlet, in a beautiful little valley two miles long and about one-half mile wide, the majestic old Allegany hills riding on all sides in easy ascent, covered luxuriantly with the evergreen hemlock, the birch, beech and maple, a little winding creek twisting and dodging along through the valley, and the saw and grist mills dotting its banks, makes a pleasant, not to say romantic, appearance. Old John Cryder, the father of Independence, penetrated the then solid forests, built a rude cabin, and settled down on the bank of the creek which now bears his name, as early as 1798. He was followed, in l8l8, by Oliver Babcock, who was really the first permanent settler, and David Wilson, who came the same year. In April, l8l9, John Teater, his two sons and famous son-in-law made their advent into the place now known as Whitesville, named in honor of the man who, with an ax on his shoulder and but two dollars and fifty cents in his pocket, penetrated the unbroken forests, and reared a family. This man is known in history and to his neighbors as Sam White. Joseph Bledsoe, Alvah Wood, Asaph Goodridge, and Beriah Crandall soon followed. Whitesville as a business center is rapidly growing. It already con- tains some thirty well-established business places, among which the foundry of E. R. Allen Co., the Whitesville cheese factory and Parker flouring mills stand out prominently for the amount of business they do. Two large and well-accommodated hotels and numerous dwelling houses have been erected. Several new streets have been laid out, and the Academy, under the proficient management of Prof. Burdick and Miss Henderson, has advanced in a won- derful degree. The oil interests are improving, numerous derricks have gone up, and everything points to Whitesville's future as an oil city. At this time there were three hotels—the Woodcock House, Diamond House, Whitesville House; four masons; three music teachers; five physicians; and two lawyers.

White, a native of Rhode Island, who removed with his father to Alfred and thence to this town in the early part of 1819. By industry and frugality he accumulated property which, at his death, was valued at about $80,000. Mr. White constructed the town's first hotel in the summer of 1826; and for a number of years owned and conducted the only store—supplies for which were hauled from Dansville. Eleven families comprised the population until 1821. Wellsville was the nearest town and had twelve dwellings, three stores, and a black- smith shop. The greater portion of the milling was done at Almond where the nearest grist mill was located. The first birth was that of Dugald C. White, son of Samuel S. and Nancy White, on October 23, 1819. The first marriage was that of Daniel Remington to Eliza Eaton on January 1, 18214.. One hundred acres of land is said to have been given to them by the land agent for being the first couple married. The first death was that of Samuel W. Goodrich, on January 27, 1822. Whitesville's first saw mill was erected in 1823 by Nathaniel Covil and Tower Stetson. The first religious services were held by Rev. Daniel Babcock, a Seventh Day Baptist, at the home of Samuel White, on January 1, 1820. In the fall of 1823, the first school house—a log structure—was erected. In this rude building the first school was taught by Miss Deb- orah Covil during the summer of I82I4., the scholars numbering seven. MILESTONES 1831 First Methodist E.
