Whitney Point High School - Maroon and Gold Yearbook (Whitney Point, NY)

Community Service . . . Whitney Point Central School has had a yearbook for more than four dec- ades. With each and every year, there has been a new theme. Each year it be- comes harder and harder for the staff to think of a new and exciting theme. After jogging many ideas around we have chosen Community Service. The staff feels that with this theme the yearbook will appeal to more mem- bers of the community and become a book enjoyed by all. The people of this com- munity deal with each oth- er in face-to-face contacts, they have common prob- lems and they cooperate in various activities. The communities support and interest is vital for an orga- nization such as the year- book to continue its growth from year to year. We are very fortunate to have the services of Rotary, the various booster clubs, and the many contribu- tions of local business peo- ple and the Whitney Point Central School faculty and administration. The most important link in connect- ing people to form a com- munity is service. We, the students of WPCS will move on. Some of us will leave and some of us will stay. All of the goodness that comes to us in our ca- reers will be, in part, be- cause of the way that you, the people of our commu- nity, have served us. Thank you.

Dedication We, the yearbook staff, proudly dedicate the Eagle '85 to Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Gregg. The theme this year is Community Service and Marv and Alice Gregg have been a very big part of the Whitney Point Community since moving here to open Gregg's Big M twenty-one years ago. Mr. Gregg started in the grocery business when he was 15 years old as a stock clerk for Floyd Paggett, a grocerer, in Oakdale where Mr. Gregg grew up. When the Greggs opened the Big M in Whitney Point, they built their home on Keibel Road, where they still reside. The Gregg's have three children. Sherry, Holly, and Lance. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg have opened two oth- er grocery stores, one in Marathon, and one in Maine as well as the Whitney Point Variety Store. The Gregg's have shown their community spirit in many ways. They have been very gener- ous to the many school teams and organizations. They have employed many of our students, both male and female, in their store and have been very cooperative in working their schedules around the students school activities. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg have also been very generous to many families and community members in their time of need, this support is done quietly and is not often known by anyone other than the peo- ple involved. A community that works is one filled with people willing to pull together for the common good. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Gregg have shown that they care about the Whitney Point Community. The Eagle '85 salutes them for their years of Community Service.
