A Message From the Alumni Association President

Dear AACS Alumni: Life at Alfred Almond does not end when you graduate; it continues, develops and succeeds. During the course of my years on the Board of the Alfred Almond Alumni Association and the past three years as President, I have enjoyed every moment of serving and contributing to the advancement of Alfred Almond Central School graduates. The AA Alumni Association Board members, past and present, are very proud to be associated with AACS. 80 years old is definitely worthy of a celebration. The primary objectives of the Alumni Association are to increase ways in which we interact and build closer relationships with our alumni, stay in touch with many classmates, and relate with recent graduates. Our Board wants to keep alumni excited and motivated so that they will attend our annual reunion banquet. You might be interested in the Alumni board highlights of the past year: • We met monthly to discuss ways we can further cultivate participation in the Association. • Development of a new Alumni Association web site is underway. • Two new members joined the board, Jessica Hoffman Lippa ’03 and David Bordeaux ’66. • Awards to 13 students for summer sports and fine arts camps totaling $2,115. • Class of 2018 graduated 47 with 18 students receiving scholarships totaling $40,000. • 836 members paid their annual dues of $5. • Contributions were made into the various scholarships totaling over $65,000. • Reviewed the Alumni database - Please be sure to update your contact information. • Assisted AACS administration in planning the replacement of beautiful new outside doors.

AACS Building Renovations: Preserving the Past, While Building the Future

It is with great appreciation that I write this letter to the Alfred-Almond Alumni Association. It is truly amazing how quickly time passes and how we are left reflecting on the past, while at the same time eagerly anticipating what is yet to come. One recurring theme that helps guide our future plans, is the tremendous support that we receive from our Alumni Association, graduates, staff members and friends. This sense of tradition has acted as a standard for us in many ways, whether that be in the strong academic and extracurricular success of our students or instilling a tempered work ethic and moral base in our graduates. We have always been guided by our alumni as we attempt to live up to their standards. Similarly, we guide our efforts in building and grounds revitalization from the standard that was built in 1939. Anyone who has either worked in, graduated from or been a part of our school community is well aware of the beauty of our buildings and grounds. With the guidance and support of the AAAA and community, we are pleased to inform you that the campus is better than ever. It is a campus of which to be proud. Every year, one of the things that brings me the greatest satisfaction is the return of our alumni, as they visit friends and family or prepare for the not to be missed banquet. Invariably, a past graduate returns, pops their head into the office and asks if it is ok if they take a tour of the building. The answer is always an enthusiastic “yes” and normally they are given a guided tour by one of your administrators. Many times when we enter one of the “new” wings, they will comment that they do not remember this, but comment that it must have been here as it looks exactly like the original building. This always makes me smile as it means that we are preserving our past, while building the future. This preservation of our history has been deliberate and I applaud our BOE members for recognizing the significance and importance of maintaining our strong links to our past. When the 1995 building project took place and a new gym and educational wing were added, the architects were given the direction to create a structure that was reflective and representative of the original architecture of the 1939 building.The results were outstanding and the attention to detail precise, right down to a period archway to connect the two structures. Moreover, the new construction was situated in such a fashion so as to be a natural extension of our campus. In subsequent projects, with the support and guidance of our educational community, we have maintained this theme. The new track complex is framed with bricks that were specially fabricated to emulate the size and color of the original building, the restroom and storage facility is a smaller version of the gym with matching accents and a peaked slate roof. Even the outside lighting was representative of period lighting of the day matching the patina copper roofing from the original 1939 structure. Smaller projects have also been completed with a mind to tradition. When we revitalized our school library several years ago, the direction from our alumni association was to be mindful that the library had been constructed as the centerpiece of learning. The result was magnificent, as all the woodwork was refurbished, accents re-utilized and details left intact. When faced with the need to replace the lighting, rather than throw out the original fixtures, they were rebuilt and re-wired. When we could not match the original globes that needed replacing, a local artist, Angus Powers, stepped up and fabricated them from scratch to match the originals. Such is the pride that our whole community shares in our campus! I am pleased to inform all of you that our new entrance doors will be installed over April break. Similarly to some of the aforementioned improvements, they will be reflective of the original structure down to the last detail. Our door committee, comprised ofAAAA members, worked for over a year to ensure that these doors, while meeting today’s safety standards, were reflective of our heritage and beginnings. Thank you Donna, Lisa, Carl and Don for your work, guidance and support in this regard! As we prepare for our future, please know that we are continuing our effort to maintain the quality and architectural integrity of our facilities. The Alfred-Al- mond District is proposing a $3.74M capital improvement project to be voted on in May of this year. This no additional tax project is another step toward enhancing our buildings and programs for current and future students. It will focus on health and safety improvements and the replacement of aging infrastructure items. The goal is to protect investments already made by our community, as well as to prepare our facilities to meet future needs in a fiscally responsible fashion. This upcoming renovations will be district-wide, including restoring asphalt and sidewalks, auditorium improvements, locker room renovations, roof maintenance, heating and cooling upgrades, classroom renovations, energy-efficient fixtures and improvements to the bus garage. Enhancing the safety and security of our students is equally as important as maintaining the heritage and history of our buildings. Over the years, our District has continued to strive to fulfill these two goals through our architectural projects. Most recent projects have been centered around securing our buildings to keep students and staff safe. In the near future, we will be sending out a comprehensive overview of this proposed project to our community members. Please know, that whatever we do, whether large or small, we keep foremost in our minds our obligation to preserve our vibrant past while ensuring that future graduates have the necessary tools to allow them to achieve the same level of success and happiness as those who have walked the halls before them.

The Blue and Gold 2019 - 5 80 years ago...AACS merged

Over 80 years ago, two unique communities, a group of progressive-thinking adults, took the first step toward providing a modern Central school for all the children of the rural communities in the Almond and Alfred area. Prior to this time, Almond and Alfred each had a twelve-year school, Alfred Station had a two-room school, and there were fourteen one-room school districts in the outlying areas surrounding the villages. The Alfred school board, under the direction of Principal H. F. McGraw, had sought centralization on a smaller scale, having filed an application for a Public Works Act (PWA) grant of nearly $97,000. It then appeared that the only way to get approval of the project was to enlarge it to such a size that the State Department would look upon it with favor. Both Alfred and Almond were facing ‘forced’ centralization, yet neither was large enough for State Education Department approval. So, the two towns’ officials gathered, and a combined central school was conceived. A June 1938 Alfred Sun article begins to inform the public of the extensive building proposal: “Preliminary plans, as announced by H. F. McGraw, principal of Alfred High School, called for a two-story fireproof brick and steel structure of 38 units. Included will be a complete athletic field and gymnasium, with a fulltime physical education instructor and coach; a home economics department; a cafeteria where a trained dietician will prepare lunch for the students at cost, special fully equipped departments in industrial arts, agriculture and commercial subject, and a full time school nurse. There will be full time instructors in music and art.” A 20-page informational booklet covered in detail all aspects of the project, including the reasons and purposes for centralization, the advantages of a central school, building cost and bond issue figures, the proposed operating budget, and a comprehensive question and answer section. The centerfold featured an impressive two-color architect’s drawing of the proposed building. It spelled out the steps that needed to be completed before work could start on the actual building: “The desire to become a Central Rural district is made known to the Commissioner of Education . . .. A State Inspector is sent out to survey the district and determine whether or not it is suitable for centralization . . .If the Commissioner of Education is satisfied that Cen- tralization will meet the needs of the area, and that the area is suitable, he calls an election at which time people of the area as a whole either accept or reject the proposed centralization. If a majority vote in favor of Centralization, a board of education is elected for the centralized district, at the same meeting.” The vote for centralization was scheduled for September 12, 1938 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Almond High School. A few days pri- or to this important vote, a huge ad appeared in the Alfred Sun entitled “VOTE YES”, with four reasons explaining their position: “FIRST: This area, comprising the townships of Alfred, Almond, parts of Ward, West Almond, Hartsville and Hornellsville, is faced with maintaining somewhere within itself, a suitable school for its children. The only other choice, if you give your children the education you want them to have, is to pay their tuition in a city school, where you have no voice in affairs and where the educational program is intended to meet city conditions, rather than preparing them to meet rural problems, and the problems of small towns. “SECOND: Unless we build now, we lose $188,837! This PWA grant calls for the start of construction not later than January 1, 1939. Should we refuse this money it will NOT be saved – but spent ELSEWHERE, and we will pay for someone else to have it. This is a gift and not a loan. “THIRD: Centralization will give children of all rural communities the same educational advantages as those from regions of greater wealth with whom they will someday compete for a living. The state offers each rural community a way to equalize educational opportunities by practical- ly doubling the amount of state aid to centralized schools. “FOURTH: The reason for the combined centralization of the two villages and surrounding areas is that neither one alone is large enough to be approved by the State Department at the present time. The amount of property value and number of pupils in either one alone would not support as complete an educational program as the combined project. It is expected also, that the law introduced in the last days of the last legisla- ture, setting up a program of ‘forced’ centralization, will be re-introduced and passed in some form next winter.”

6 - The Blue and Gold 2019 80 years ago...AACS merged

The vote established an overwhelming approval of the centralization project. Big headlines in the September 13, 1938 Evening Tribune read: “Almond, Alfred Central School Approved By 451 to 142 votes – Elwood Ormsby Head of new Board, Rush Plans for new Building As Work Must Start By October 1.” The article reads: “As soon as voting was tallied last night, the urgent business of putting the centralization into effect was started . . . A business session, which lasted far into the night, and continued today, resulted in the election of a central school board and officers for the coming year. Site of the school must be selected, and preliminary work started by October 1 if a PWA grant of financial aid is to be received. . . Joining Mr. Ormsby on the board were: Dr. Murray Rice and Mrs. Ramon Reynolds of Alfred, Harold MacMichael of Almond, and Irving Palmiter of Alfred Station. Clerk and treasurer of the board are Mrs. Pearl Armstrong of Almond and J. R. Evans of Alfred Station.” After much planning and person-to-person contact, the taxpayers agreed to give up their autonomy and centralize the towns’ school districts by a vote of 451 to 142, a new board of education was formed, and now the rush was on to secure a location and approve plans for the new building. Compromise and unity on the board must have happened quickly, because only four days after the voters approved the centralization project, the Evening Tribune displayed these headlines on September 16, 1938: “Trask Farm Is Selected As Cen- tral School Site – Election Is Called September 26 on Site $230,800 Bonds.” This explanation followed: “Property owned by Miss Eleanor Von-Cottendorf, known as the Trask Farm, located about a mile and a half west of Almond on the Alfred road has been selected by the board of education of the newly created Almond-Alfred Centralized School District as a site for a new building to serve the district. . .While it had been expected that at least three sites would be presented, the villages of Almond and Alfred compromised on the Trask property when confronted with a new PWA ruling that the site and bonds must be approved by October 1 to receive a Federal grant. Official notices of the election place the purchase price at $6,000.The Trask farm contains slightly more than 50 acres.” The same week, the Alfred Sun urged voter approval: “The vote on site and bond issue for the new Alfred-Almond Central- ized School is of extreme importance in qualifying for the PWA Grant of $188,837. Unless the site and bond issue are voted at the meeting Monday, September 26, officials of PWA have made it plain that the grant will be lost. If that should happen the Centralized district would be forced to raise the additional $188,837 itself in order to build.” The Trask Farm location was a source of contention among some residents, and it appeared this might prevent approval of the bond issue in the vote, which was scheduled in less than two weeks. On September 26, 1938, taxpayers of the new Central School District showed little opposition in a special election on the school site and a bond issue for construction. The count showed 481 approved both while 77 voted against the bond issue and site. The Central School Board is now prepared to proceed with letting contracts for the school and utilizing a $188,837 PWA grant. The communities had come together, the deadline had been met, and the project was in full gear that fall. The excavation work was started late in the fall of 1938, and this work and the foundation were mostly completed through that winter. The general contractors started construction on the building in the spring of 1939 and finished just before the dedication on June 12, 1940. The 18-month project, under the leadership of William B. Harder, general contractor, and Bley and Lyman, architects, resulted in what Mary Jane Ormsby Reid remembers as a “spectacular” building. She tells about walking with her dad, Elwood Ormsby, president of the new Alfred-Almond board of education, to the site, formerly a huge vacant field adjacent to their farm, “almost every day after he had finished his chores. I was very young when this was taking place, and I remember a lot of digging with big machinery and steam shovels. Then they started putting up the bricks, and I thought it would never get done. How can they do that? It seemed unreal. . .It was a real big deal!” The installation of terrazzo floors in the hallways and cafeteria required special skill, Bob Broughton remembers in his book, “The Dumbest Kid In Third Grade”: “Some of my friends and I used to ride our bikes up to the Alfred-Almond school project and watch the workers who were building the school. We got a real kick out of the terrazzo workers. All of them were Italian. They never stopped working, and they never stopped yelling at each other in Italian. . .” The Alfred Sun reads: “The main building is primarily of Tudor architectural theme, with a slight adaptation of late Gothic in the square tower in the central part of the structure. The frontage is 343 feet long, and the Tudor architecture was chosen to break up too long a line in the frontage. To give the building more pleasing lines, the two wings were not made exactly symmetrical in front. The architects adopted this plan as best answer- ing their problem in constructing such a long building in proportion to its height.

The Blue and Gold 2019 - 7 80 years ago...AACS merged

This also permitted them to take advantage of the natural aesthetic features of a hill being located at the immediate rear of the building, although the ground frontage is level. “The building is the state of the art facility, including classrooms, offices and teachers rooms, the combined auditorium/gymnasium with its stage, lighting system and projection booth, the industrial arts and agricultur- al shop with large doors providing entrance for vehicle entrance, the Home-Making suite featuring the “food center” and work space, as well as the commercial department, science lab, school cafeteria, music room, and art room. The dominating feature of the second floor is the School Library, from which the educational work of the whole school will largely radiate. The Library is finished in cherry, and the furniture is cherry to match the woodwork.” The entire building was impressive, according to Broughton who writes this in his book: “When I first passed through the large oak doors of the brand-new Alfred Almond Central School, I was awe-struck. I don’t recall, but I must have just stood there for a full moment, wide-eyed with my mouth agape.” Others also remember their reaction, as school children, when seeing the building for the first time eighty years ago. “It was the biggest building I had ever seen,” Lewis Wheeler recalls, “I remember how big and wonderful it was – it smelled so clean.” Betty Hicks Schwartz remembers those first days at the new school: “I can see it all now – shining and so beautiful. The gym – there was no comparison -- the sliding partition and to see that thing move. . . our first assembly when they opened and closed those beautiful wine-colored drapes... and how the chairs folded up and were put under the stage.” In his dedicatory address on June 12, 1940, Superintendent of Schools William Garwood, commented: “The Alfred-Almond Central School which we are dedicating tonight is unique in its organization . . . it is highly commendable that the residents of the two villages could submerge their pride in their local school to the extent of giving it up for the larger school which will offer for all the children of the included territory the more adequate educational program. It is just as commendable that the smaller districts have chosen to close their local schools so that their children can get the full advantages of the more modern school. . . With the lights going out all over Europe and Asia on all the fine things for which civilization has striven, with our situation in America somewhat happier because of our public school system more than any one factor, since education makes men free, we can well dedicate this new school to the further enlightenment of our growing generation and to the cause of peace,” he concluded. Many members of the combined Class of 1940 had a chance to meet one another for the first time at their commencement, held on June 25, 1940, right after the building was completed. It had to be a very proud day when the individual Alfred and Almond Senior classes, totaling 31 members, became the new Alfred-Almond Central School Class of 1940 and were the first to graduate in the brand-new school. Amanda Stevens Snyder recalls that her mother, Dorothy Allen, was in that first graduating class and was the very first person to walk across that new stage. The blending of students, parents, faculty, and taxpayers from two diverse villages and fourteen one-room school districts located within six townships was a challenge. The dedication of Alfred-Almond Central School in 1940 was the beginning of an amiable arrangement that has met the educational needs of our children for over eight decades. The academic accom plishments of the school are a testimony to a group of progressive-thinking adults who put aside their personal feelings for the good of everyone, result- ing in today’s excellent reputation. It is with gratitude for their foresight, ambition, and dedication that we remember! Consolidation of excerpts taken from Alfred Sun, Evening Tribune and Almond Historical Newsletters

8 - The Blue and Gold 2019 Past Yearbook Dedications

As a gesture of thankfulness to the man who, by his unfailing interest, his sincere enthusiasm and his willingness to help, has made Alfred-Almond Central School a better place to work and live, we the Senior Class of 1952 dedicate our yearbook to A Prentice Stillman.

We the Class of 1956, wish to dedicate our yearbook to a most deserving member of the teaching staff, who has guided us over the rough spots of our high school days as our Class advisor in our Junior and Senior years. His patience and understanding, which he has freely given, have been most appreciated. Good humor and helpfulness have led us to have confidence in his teaching, his opinions, and his friendship. Thus, we are glad to have this opportunity to say “thank you, Robert Torrey.”

In dedicating this book, the Senior Class of 1958, wish to express deep affection and sincere gratitude to a competent teacher and a warm friend. For her guidance, inspiration, unselfish giving of herself and the privilege of her friendship, we are proud to dedicate the ALCEN of 1958 to Dorothy E Crusen

For your superb balance between firmness and friendliness; For your humor, patience and inspiration, you have given us; For your unfailing readiness to assist in all our class endeavors; For these and many other reasons too numerous to mention, we, the Class of 1960, in dedicating this yearbook, wish to pay tribute to you who have given of your time and effort willingly and unselfishly to guide us through our school years; We thank you Kenneth Clicquennoi

To dedicate; to consecrate; to give. Once there was someone who gave us so much, we’d like to give her just one perfect thing. The lady whom we want to thank today gave us knowledge and gave us herself. She read to us, we wrote, we saw, we learned, and knew the fragile strength called poetry. In history, she gave us perspective, showed us time need not be a barrier and Greece, Rome and the Renaissance; and through her eyes we saw and felt a past that lived, beat and trembled in our hand. We had the joy and splendor of a play. Here, too, she gave us selflessly her time, enthusiasm, talents, and patience. And we had fun, and made a story live. Things given freely thus should not be classed but courage is perhaps her finest gift. For never, never did she hesitate to cut through all the texts and all the lies. And give us what was true and beautiful. We dedicate the book that we have made to Mrs. Phelan, who was not afraid. Class of 1964

“The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Emerson A friend is… ….always willing to learn. ….concerned about you. ….sympathetic. ….understanding. ….always helping. We the senior class of Alfred Almond, are fortunate enough to know such a person. To our friend, Mrs. Fosegan we dedicate this 1973 Alcen.

The Blue and Gold 2019 - 9 Past Yearbook Dedications

Is there someone, somewhere, who can put a smile on a sad face, cares with a special kindness that grandmothers so often have, share with others a sweet and gentle spirit? Is there someone who can laugh with any person that passes by and love anyone, anywhere, anytime? We the Senior Class, believe there is one person who perfectly fulfills these qualities. After many years of working at Alfred-Almond, this person retired from our school staff. But despite that fact that she has left us physically, her face will always be remembered in the minds of the hundreds of students who love her so dearly. We are sure everyone will agree that know such a person: thus, we dedicate the 1974 Alcen to her, Mrs. Lena Schwartz.

Seldom will one be found who has such rapport with his students. You have kept us on our toes with that rare gift of humor tempered with discipline. Our feeling of appreciation and gratitude for your leadership will be with us long after we graduate. This dedication is small compared to what you have given us. Our appreciation and fond remembrance go with this to our prodding ’78 class advisor, winning soccer coach and patient teacher, Mr. Cuykendall.

It is not very often that the students, faculty, staff and administration of an entire school system can depend upon two people so completely. It is unusual for them to give of their time and of themselves as much as they do and seem to enjoy it at the same time. A day does not go by without a friendly ‘hi’ to everyone they meet in the halls. They are always willing to help in an after school activity. There is much one can say about two such people, but to do so would take forever. The Class of ’72 takes this opportunity to say ‘Thank You’ and dedicate our yearbook to Al and Bea Lorrow.

I think we all agree that we found you too late. Two years was not enough time for the Class of “76” to spend with you. Without your money raising brainstorms and patience, we would have only dreams of a Senior trip. How did you ever hold up! You have always given us much more than what was just required; you gave us something much more valuable… yourself. You took pains to get to know each one of us as individuals and never turned us away when a problem arose. Thank you so much for all that you have done, and if we’re lucky, we’ll find more people like you in the future. Thank You Mrs. Porter

In dedicating this book, the senior Class of 1982 wishes to express deep affection and sincere gratitude for a competent teacher and a warm friend. For the guidance, inspiration, patience, unselfish giving of himself and the privilege of his friendship, we are proud to dedicate the 1982 Alcen to John Michael Brace.

There is a teacher at A-A, who stands out in the eyes of the Class of ’83. She has worked very hard these past two years to make a senior trip materialize for us, but never without a smile. Her enthusiastic good cheer and sincere interest in our class have always been appreciated. In order to express our thanks, for her devotion, we, the Class of 1983 dedicate this Alcen to Mrs. Ellis.

For twenty-five years, the youth of Alfred Almond have been graced with this person’s warmth, smile and sense of humor. Behind that rough exterior lies a caring, sensitive, and generous man never too busy to help others. Because of his service, leadership, and dedication to the sports teams and students of A-A, we present this token of our appreciation. The Class of 1984 is proud to dedicate the Alcen to Mr. Jim McEoy.

10 - The Blue and Gold 2019 AAAA Outstanding Service Award Honoree 2019

George B. Harris III

The Outstanding Service Award was established by the Alfred Almond Alumni Association in 2015 to offer an ave- nue of recognition apart from the AACS sports program for individuals who excel in service to their communities and organization to which they belong, above and beyond any employment or job-related duties. One of the main purposes of this award is to encourage volunteerism and service among AACS alumni and friends.

George B. Harris of Alfred, decorated veteran, longtime coach, dedicated Boy Scout leader and honoree, and multi-involved civic leader, has been selected by the AAAA to receive the 2019 Outstanding Service Award. A native of Wellsville, George graduated from Wellsville High School in 1965. After attending Cornell University and Gettysburg College, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1967 where he served as an infantryman and was awarded the Purple Heart. Following his military service, George met his wife Mary, currently retired AACS elementary and high school art teacher, while attending St. Lawrence University. After his 1972 graduation and living in Colorado for three years, the couple moved to Alfred in 1975. At various times, George served as the Chairman of the Town of Alfred Planning and Zoning Board, served three two-year terms as President of the Foster Lake Club, coached t-ball for five years, Little League for five years, and served as the League commissioner for six years. He also co-chaired the “Project Playground” Finance Committee in Alfred. For more than thirty-five years, Scouting has been one of George’s passions. He began serving the local Boy Scouts in 1984 as Treasurer of Pack 26. From 1987-89, he was Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 19 and Scoutmaster from 1989 until 1994. He has served as Thunderbird District Commissioner and as District Chairman on multiple occasions, most recently in his ninth consecutive year in that position. Currently one of the longest tenured members of the Five Rivers Council Executive Board, George has served on that board for over twenty-five years. In recognition of his dedication to scouting, George is a recipient of the covet- ed Silver Beaver and Distinguished Commissioner awards. An excellent tennis player himself, George began coaching boys’ varsity tennis as a volunteer assistant under Connor Stephens in 1991. He became head coach in 1993, leading the team to an 18-2 record and a share of the Steuben County League championship. 1996 brought another county championship and an undefeated regular season, with the sole loss occurring in the sec tional finals at Harley-Allendale- Columbia. A-A repeated as county champs in 1997, when all 18 varsity players recorded winning records and A-A won both the singles and doubles championships at the county tournament. The overall A-A varsity record was 100- 17. George also coached the boys modified team at the same time as the varsity, retiring after the 1998 season. For twenty years, George served as Chairman of the Steuben County Boys Tennis League and as Co-chairman of the Section V Class D Boys Tennis for ten years. George is a life member of the NRA, and the Disabled American Veterans organization. He and Mary are parents of three children, all AACS graduates: Tod, ’94, Brooke, ’96, and Beth, 2000. The couple now enjoys watching their grandchildren in their AACS activities and sports. Congratulations to George B Harris III. AA’s 2019 Out- standing Service Award Honoree: decorated veteran, longtime coach, dedicated Boy Scout leader and honoree, and multi-involved civic leader.

The Blue and Gold 2019 - 11 2019 Sports Hall of Fame Inductees

Jason Fraser, ’09

By all accounts, Jason Fraser was a phenom. Part of the Class of 2009, Jason stood out even as an underclassman competing on varsity teams. His wrestling coach, John Gemmell best explains why: “First, is his indescrib- able work ethic. Seeing the work that Jason puts in before, during, and after practice demonstrates his desire to be the best he can be, no matter what he is working at. Second, is his ability to set goals and work toward those goals. Last, but certainly not least, are his leadership skills. Jason was elected captain in each of his three varsity sports teams. He is the kind of individual that makes everyone around him better.”

Jason competed as a varsity Eagle in four different sports: four years of soccer, five years of wrestling, one year of tennis, (which he had never played before, and completed the season undefeated at second doubles), and then two years of track, often winning “Most Improved” or sportsmanship awards, even when he was not the MVP.

As a soccer athlete, Jason was part of the Sectional Champion Eagles of 2006 and was named to the second team All- State. As a track athlete, Jason competed in the pole vault his junior and senior years, taking second place in sectionals as a junior and winning as a senior, when the Eagles also captured the Sectional title.

It was as a wrestler that Jason really left his mark in the A-A record books. A five time Section V Champion (2005-2009) at 152 pounds, Jason amassed a career record of 156 wins and 20 losses, and was named Most Outstanding Wrestler of the 2008 Sectional competition. He advanced to Super Sectional competition and was a semi finalist four times before finally winning the state qualifier and competing in the state tournament, where he placed third. He went on to wrestle at Ithaca College, and then Life University, where he holds the record for most pins in a single season.

Jason also excelled in the classroom, earning membership in the National Honor Society and maintaining a cumulative average of 92 percent while competing at the highest level in three seasons of varsity sports. He went on to earn a Doctor- ate of Chiropractic from Life University in 2016. Jason is the son of Cindy Fraser, ’78 and brother of Shane and Kevin,’14.

Aaron Rygiel, ’09

Aaron Rygiel began his soccer career as a seventh grader playing on the junior varsity team. The next five years he was a varsity starter, earning both scholar athlete and Bird- seye recognition multiple times in his career. On the soccer field, Aaron was the leading scorer and assist winner in Steuben County, and he continued to hone his skills as a three year starter for the nationally ranked Rochester Junior Rhinos. During his sophomore year, he helped his team clinch the Section V Championship and was named MVP of the finals. His skills were recognized beyond Steuben County as well, he was namedAll Greater Rochester Honorable Mention as a freshman and sophomore, Second Team as a junior and First Team as a senior. As a senior, his efforts also earned him recognition as the Birdseye Player of the Year, and a spot on the All State First Team. He was a starter on the Olympic Development Program for elite youth in Northeastern USA. Aaron ended his high school career with 107 goals and 80 assists.

In the winter, Aaron competed on the A-A basketball team for three years, while continuing to both play in and often referee local indoor soccer tournaments. While admittedly not a basketball star, Aaron none- theless earned a spot on the 2009 Spectator Great 8 First Team due to his dedication and hustle. Coach Brad Hoyt commented, “I have not coached a kid who works as hard as he does. You might be able to outplay him, but you’ll never outwork him. I guarantee that.”

In the spring, Aaron was a varsity starter on the boys tennis team for five years, earning both the first singles and first doubles position on the team. Playing against the toughest opponents, he helped his team win the Section V Championship in both his Junior and Senior years.

Aaron travelled to the Netherlands to train with a U-19 soccer team for a year after high school, then continued his soccer career in college, competing for and earning recognition at both Georgia Perimeter and Division 1 Creighton University. He earned his BA in Exercise and Sport Science from UNC Chapel Hill, and his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Duke. Aaron lives and works in Greenville, NC. Aaron is the son of Richard & Laurie Murray, ’72 Rygiel and brother of Christina, ’04 of Almond.

On behalf of the Class of 2018 I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Alfred Almond Alumni Association. Throughout senior year, I would talk to my fellow classmates about their plans after high school. Although we were excited for the journey ahead, we were nervous about the finances associated with furthering our education. Easy said, but true, these scholarships given by the Alumni Association help us fund our dreams. The Alfred-Almond Alumni Association is a selfless organization focused on helping the community. Your donations allow students from our small school district achieve their big goals. You help us pursue our passions and further our education. We are immensely grateful for your dedication to the students of AA. Receiving scholarships means so much to us. This honor is made greater knowing it comes from the people of the community. These scholarships are not just money, they are a message to us that we are capable. These scholarships show us that the community has our back, and believes in us. These scholarships show us that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. We are extremely humbled receiving scholarships from people who went to the same school as us. It’s great receiving recognition from the people of Alfred Almond. Although you may not know us personally, your donation has positively impacted our lives. Thank you for taking a leap of faith, and trusting in our abilities. We have become the people we are today because of Alfred Almond, and will go into the world wearing that badge proudly. With these generous scholarships we will make Alfred Almond proud. We hope to further the tradition of kindness seen in the Alumni Association. The selflessness of the Alfred Almond community is astounding, and I am proud to call myself an alumnus of this great school. Thank you.

KARL L. GRANTIER, ’55, FRIEND OF VETERANS, PASSES AWAY

ALMOND - Karl L. Grantier, 83, a lifelong resident of Almond and member of the AACS Class of 1955, passed away on April 23, 2019 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.

After graduation Karl enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He suffered from third degree burns on 37% of his body during an accidental fire on the flight line on Oct. 29, 1957 at MoodyAir Force Base, Valdosta, Georgia; after which he spent 10 months in the hospital at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force on March 31, 1960 with 70% disability, upgraded to 100% disability in 2012. Karl was employed by Rogers Machine Works in Alfred and Worthington in Wellsville. In subsequent years, he drove tractor trailer for different companies and bus for Alfred State College (ACES). Most recently, he owned and operated KLG Trucking from 1992 until his retirement in 2015.

Karl was the Commander of the Alfred Post 370 American Legion for 22 years, a member of the AMVETS in Cuba, Sampson Airforce Base Vets Association, where he served the first president, and was a member of the committee to establish the National Cemetery at Sampson. For many years, he served on the Alfred-Almond Alumni Association board of directors as chairman of the veterans project. In 2004 Karl undertook a 10-year project to recognize all AACS veterans. Today, nine handsome walnut plaques bearing the names of nearly 500 alumni are located in the alumni hallway. Also displayed on special plaques are the names of 27 AACS veterans who received heroic medals in the line of duty. Karl’s decades-long passion for the care and recognition of veterans also motivated him to introduce the Hometown Heroes Banner project to Almond, offering families and friends the opportunity to sponsor large street banners for their veteran friends and family. To date, during the spring and summer months, there are more than 100 banners which line Main Street and other roads in the Town of Almond, honoring the service of local veterans. Karl was also a member of the Almond Volunteer Fire Department for over 50 years.

46 - The Blue and Gold 2019 The 1940 Society - Estate planning

In 2017, AAAA announced the beginning of a new alumni support program. The Board created an alumni program entitled “The 1940 Society.” The program is named in honor of the 1st year of business at AACS, namely 1940. The purpose of the program is to encourage all alumni to consider including the Alfred Almond Alumni Association in their Will and Estate planning. This program seeks to honor and recognize those thoughtful alumni who promise special gifts to the AAAA in their Estate plans. Donors can decide to express their ever-lasting gratitude for their time at AACS by including the association in their estate planning. Membership includes all those alumni that pledge in writing to include the AAAA as a specific beneficiary in their Wills in the amount of at least $1,000.00, a very significant gift to theAAAA. We of course are humbled and very grateful! We encourage all alumni to consider making the AAAA a part of their Estate plan. Your continuing generosity is the lifeblood of the association. For many, this is an opportunity to give financial support and allows time to assist donors in making future gifts. Of course, we always encourage consults with your advisors as we can’t give legal or tax advice. However, we are happy to answer questions and provide the necessary form to use. The AAAA will promote the program by listing the names of all the members who wish to be known in the annual newsletter.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF YOUR AAAA!

YOU CAN HELP THE AAAA BY USING YOUR COMPANY’S MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM Donors / employees go through the following three-step process to submit matching gifts: 1. Make a donation to the Alfred Almond Alumni Association (we are 501 (c) (3) organization) 2. Determine if your employer offers a matching gift programs. 3. Locate and return the appropriate matching gift form to your company. When the matching gift form is received by the AAAA, we will verify that you actually made the donation and submit the form back to the company. Then they send their matching gift to us! It’s easy– simple – but we need to have YOU, our donors, take that step of checking with your HR office and see if the matching gift program is in place. Help us stay connected....

The Alfred Almond Alumni Association board secures funds to meet our objectives through membership dues and support. It is important to remember that the primary goal of the Association is to provide ways for alumni to connect with each other. Over the past few years, we have seen a decline in the number of members who pay their annual dues. We hit a record 1070 members in 2015-16 but have seen that decline each year since to 836 this past year. One hundred percent of your Alumni Dues ($5 donation) directly support the annual “Blue and Gold” newsletter. Each year the board must decide whether or not to send the newsletter to honored class members. If you are an honored class this year, you received our newsletter. In the future if you do not pay your annual dues, you will not receive the newsletter. It is important keep up-to-date with alumni news and see the exciting things taking place at Alfred Almond Central School – please pay your membership dues. Help us re-build our valuable alumni membership! We are encouraging more of you to pay the annual dues 4/1/2019-3/31/2020 There have been many generous alumni who have established memorial scholarships in family names as well as those donating to support our Alumni Founders fund. The donations into these funds assist in awarding annual scholarships to approximately 20 seniors attending college each year. We hope you will contribute to your alumni association, the Alfred Almond students deserve your help. Thanks for supporting your Alumni Association and all of our worthy endeavors!
