Rah-rah ree! Kick'em in the knee! Rah-rah-rass!


Pep club officers

JAMESTOWN, NY - The yearbook is full of gems like this, people sitting on cold concrete trying to smile for photographers using equipment we now house in museums.

This one features some familiar faces to the Class of '66 (with three of the four women pictured being seniors, Laura Sweeney, Sally Smith and Shirley Adams).

But the guy in the back is the real ringer - Bruce Crist, good old Mr. Crist, a 7th grade teacher who many of us had for that first homeroom and social studies class.

He was a kind fellow, despite our tendency to spell his name wrong on papers. (Mr. CHRIST, of course).

I lost track of him when I left the junior high wing and headed to the other side of the school where we hung out as big kids. But he hung in there with us, obviously, at least as adviser to the Pep Club. That or he happened to be the only faculty member available for the photo.

Rah-rah-ree! Kick 'em in the knee!

Rah-rah-rass! Kick 'em in the other knee!

So it goes...
