Out Of The Attic
There are some familiar (if younger) faces in this photo, which depicts the proud members of the Roulette High School class of 1944. When the picture was taken, the Roulette School had just a few more years of service left before "consolidation" arrived. Then it was closed, and the roulette area students were transported across the coiunty border to attend high school in Port Allegany.
Later, the L.L. Smith Elementary School was also closed and its students transported to Port Allegany. Roulette students earning diplomas in 1944, left to right, included:
front:
- Jane Ernst,
- Ila Clark,
- Betty Hoak,
- Helen Samson,
- Ruth Thompson;
back:
- Leslie Smith,
- Harold Howard,
- Kathryn Stewart,
- Lawrence Knight,
- Mike VanBergen and
- Peter Chastain.
There are tales to tell about each of these students. For example, Harold Howard went on to serve as Potter County Treasurer, Prothonotary and Commissioner during a long political career. Today, he's affiliated with Citizens Trust Company.
Betty Hoak is the sister of the late Don Hoak, the Roulette native who played professional baseball and was the third baseman for the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates in 1960.
Jane Ernst is now Mrs. Arnold Haskins, who worked for many years in the school cafeteria at Coudersport. She supplied us with this photo.

Dawn M Newton Tom, I think his father and Merle were brothers although I wouldn't bet my life on it. The one you're remembering worked at Pure Carbon, right?

Dawn M Newton After Merle died, Grace married Harvey(?) Slingerland. They were in a wreck on the curve just as you get to Seven Bridges coming from Coudersport, and Grace was killed.

Mary Dunkleberger Dawn, oh my word - I never knew that!! How sad - she was the sweetest lady -- Tom & I dated our first year out of high school until we both went into the Air Force in Jan. '66. We were active in county grange youth & were in a square dance club with Tom's brother's family Larry & Myrt & Jane.

Dawn M Newton Merle had a sister Orva Knight Hyde. She and Grace always made the cabbage salad for the big Grange dinners. I can still see them grating cabbage in a big washtub.

Dawn M Newton That's a good question, Bob. I never heard of any, but that doesn't mean anything. That sure would open up some more family connections, wouldn't it?
