Who runs this website?

I do. Patti Pennington from the Class of 1984. My father, Jack Pennington was a teacher at Smethport High in the 50's and 60's then was vice principal and principal in the 70's and 80's. I also have taught a bit at Smethport and coached basketball as well.

How can I help?

If you are an SHS graduate who has some computer knowledge that you would like to share, let me know!

In putting together this website, I use old yearbooks quite a bit. I have a nice collection thanks to my father having been a teacher way back in the old days and also thanks to the former Nunundah advisor, Theresa Niles and the current one, Ronda Wian.

I am missing some yearbooks, though. If you know where I can get yearbooks from the following years, I would appreciate any help you can give me. If I could even just borrow the yearbooks, that would be great, too. I can scan them and then send them back to you. Anyway, here is the list:

Yearbooks I Need

  • Anything before 1948??
  • Any of the starred items to the left that can be donated to the website
  • 1952
  • 1989-1992

One more idea ... if you have any mementos from your high school years like newspaper clippings, class wills, graduation programs, mementos from your prom, or ANYTHING like that, I would love to include them in the website.

Please let others know about the site! I would like to make it as comprehensive as possible.
