Earlier this year, Steve Hadley (Class of 1974) asked how to put high school records compiled by his father, Gene, and by Steve online. I said I’d work on it, and a free weekend turned into this project. I decided not only to post the Hadleys’ work but also to expand it with stories, statistics, and records of all Sistersville High School football and basketball teams and I hope you enjoy it.

History of the SHS Alumni Association
By Gene and Steve Hadley
Formed soon after Sistersville High School9s first graduating class in 1899, the Alumni Association aimed to keep graduates connected and informed about one another9s lives and locations. A 1912 yearbook article noted the Association comprised the young men and women who had graduated from SHS, with the Class of 1912 being the 13th class, bringing total alumni to 133. Through this association, graduates could remain in close touch with all who had finished at SHS. Early officers in 1912 included President Harold Reitz (909), First Vice President Garnet Stephens (907), Second Vice President Rex Rogers (911), Secretary Ethel Robinson (904), and Treasurer Frank Quigley (908). While the association9s early years revealed ambition and structure, it would experience periods of activity and dormancy before later reorganization cemented many traditions still recognized today.
