The newest class will have two alumni from the Senior era
and six from the Modern era. From the
Senior era is Raymond S. Rolley, Sr. (Class of 1924) and George Calhoun (Class

The induction ceremonies are scheduled for Saturday, August

for the new candidates, all other Hall of Fame members and invited guests at 10
AM. The induction will take place in the
Wellsville High School Auditeria beginning at 11 AM. The public is invited to attend the 11 o’clock
