1936

  • Westcott, Lewis: There were 16 in our graduating class... namely: Hinkle Lambert, Tom Cornell, Jack Elmore, Duane Burdick, Gail Colaw, Edna Staley, Josephine Burdick, Genett Burrows, Ruth Bartholomew, Alice Bartholomew, Ruth Elmore, Harlow Truman, Ardale Coon, Francis Jones, Erma Dolly, and me, Lewis Westcott. Our Class Advisor was Harry Stahl. I found the info of the DeRuyter Central School, DCS Alumni on the internet which lists persons in about 40 different classes. We were the last graduating class in the old school house which was a public library for many years, may still be. I lived on a farm up on Paradise Hill about a mile out of town on the dirt road. It was the Simpson farm. Our school bus was a team of horses driven by a Mister Reitveldt (he had a son, Lester, who rode the bus with his father). Our bus was a wagon (or sleigh) enclosed on the sides, with a back door, open on the front. Mr. Reitveldt had plenty of blankets in the winter.There was a family next door to us by the name of Atwood. Edna Atwood and a couple of her sisters rode the bus with us. That should be all the news for now.

    1942

  • Kniskern, Jim: A nice note from Jim: "I joined the Navy two weeks after D-Day, then became a chemical engineer and had several interesting careers with one company. I retired the first time in 1991 and the second time in 2000 as I approached my 75th birthday. Growing up in DeRuyter was a great experience - friendly people, good ethics and great trout fishing. And visiting my schoolmate friends, I learned to avoid farming as a career, with its hard work, long hours and minimal vacation time. Seriously, a strong work ethic was instilled in me by my association with those fine families. Now it's payback time in recognition of all who helped me in prior years, and I enjoy working with such organizations as my church, the local Senior Center which has members in four states, and the Delaware Enviornmental Alliance for Senior Involvmenet. Since my house backs up on a large undeveloped state park, I also volunteer there to expand my education into botany and biology. I am somewhat surprised to find myself still alive and active, and hope many of my former classmates are doing so as well."
