CCS Class of 1980 Twenty Year Reunion

Held June 30 - July 2, 2000

(Updated 10/01/2001 or later)

Thanks go to Lisa (Albert) Paulus and Kim Schludecker for most of the organizing.
On Friday evening a number of us toured the old High School and then toured the new CLCS school up on the far edge of Mayville. That was one reason for making a bigger deal out of the 20th year rather than waiting for the 25th. The old school was likely to be torn down at any point as it was being purchased by Chautauqua Institution and assumed to become a parking lot. Hopefully the 2 exotic red maple trees planted by the class of 1980 back in 1976 would be spared.
On Saturday evening was the main shindig, a full dinner at Snug's. There was a good turn out and many that couldn't make it in person sent lengthy notes. Shame on any of you that could have been there and weren't -- we missed you.
On Sunday we took ourselves and our kids over to Midway Park for a picnic and some fun.
If you see any misplaced names or know of a married name one of the women was using at this time, please let me know and I will update this page.
Enjoy, Chip.

Friday

The old school

The Jr./Sr. Lounge was reduced to a storage facility -- ah, Glory Days

For anyone who wondered what the boys locker room looked like Typical classroom

Back to the Future

In 1976

And in 2001 (My how the trees and students have grown)

Our Motto, "Nothing Less than the Best" was restored sometime after we (and subsequently Principal Dimicco) left. It was temporarily "Where Excellence is a Tradition"

The new CLCS, it really is a new century
