Whitesville High School - Wycenian Yearbook (Whitesville, NY)

All those crazy study halls And we can't forget writing on the bathroom walls. Remember how we studied before a big test And couldn't wait to see who had done best? But those days are almost gone; They're fading away like the words to a song. Soon my friends and I will go our own ways. And in our future days We'll always know which way to turn. Looking back on what we've learned. The days of carefree pleasure. The days we thought would last forever.

The jingling school bell echoes in my mind Along with the hollow laughter of younger children left behind. You're the friend I've always had; You stayed close when things got bad. Remember how we couldn't wait to get out of school? And oh, when we got on the high school side, we thought we were cool! Sports and dances, classes too. All of these things I've shared with you. Honesty, truth and respect Are some qualities teachers helped us reflect.

DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1980, would like to dedicate our yearbook to a very deserving man, Mr. David Palmiter. You are a su- perb history teacher whose Regents record during your 14 years here is unrivaled. As a teacher and as a friend, you have been a guiding light . When any of us had a problem that we felt was unsolvable, you could be counted on to make it seem simple. You prepared us for more than just the Regents exam in our junior year; you helped us on our way to a happy and successful life. Your practice of priding yourself on excellence and encouraging it in others taught us all to take a special care in anything we do. You have always been able to fulfill your extra duties as Vice Principal and National Honor Society advisor and still find time to be a good friend to each and every one of us. When we had an argument or dispute with a teacher, you could always be counted on to be a fair and objective mediator. You are always poised and confident under pressure and have developed that trait in all of us. Whenever our history classes were slowly fading into a moment of dullness or boredom, you always brought back our atten- tion with a crazy joke or by reading the school lunch menu with your special phraseology and comments. When the days be- gan getting long and tempers started getting short, you allowed us to release the pressures and stress by having a party. Your relaxed attitude and good sense of humor always made life seem a little easier. We are all proud to have been a part of your classes and to have had you as a friend. Thank you!!! 4
