: : : : 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.

:
: Holy Crap, you mean the Worthington school closed? I went to 1st 2nd and 3rd grades there strarting 1st grade 57 years ago. I have fond memories of that school. I remember breaking the top of a toilet in the boys room and blaming it on someone else. I remember the teacher slapping the crap out of me in front of the class because I ripped out a bunch of cabbage that was planted in a field to the right of the school. Yeah, those are some very fond memories.

HAHA!!

I don't know what's funnier!...the cabbage planted next to the school, or getting slapped in front of the class!
Awesome!
