: : : Only one catch, all the Worthington teachers came along with the consolidation to Kittanning. If I remember correctly, very few - if any lost a job over that consolidation. I could be wrong, does anyone remember? It's been 23 years now.

: : : : : : Two guys from Worthington are walking down different ends of a street toward each other and one is carrying a sack. When they meet, one says, "Hey, Tommy Ray, what'cha got in the bag?"
: : : : : : "Just' some chickens."
: : : : : : The other guy says , "If I guess how many there are, can I have one?"
: : : : : : "Sure," said Tommy Ray. "If you guess, I'll give you both of them."
: : : : : : "OK. Ummmmm......, five?"
: : : : : What would you expect, they shut down our school and made us go to Kittanning!!!
: : : : : Ouch. that's old school right there...nice...a little reminiscing about back in the day and the mighty Bison (am I right, I think that's the mascot). I think the colors were green and white. (someone needs to help me out).
: : : : See consolidation doesn't work (oh no, I said the "c-word", I'm dead). Worthington would have been better off....
: : They all either retired or remained employed with the district.
: : The same happened with the schools that consolidated into West Hills.
: : The same will happen if the Kitt, FC and Elderton are consolidated.
: : I specifically remember fruity Mr. McNees who came to KHS from Worthington.
: : You all know more than I do. I graduated from ASD in '94 so I have no recollection of the Worthington school other than we played deck hockey in the gym there when I was kid. However, I tip my cap to those who remember their roots. I'd love to see a Bison throw-back jersey too....
: Good stuff.
Wasn't the Worthington jersey a green flannel shirt?
Or is a Worhtington Jersey a kind of cow?
