Waters ‘62 Rides Into Title Sponsorship of Centennial Gala<br />
Mike Waters, Graduate of 1962<br />
I began MATI (<strong>Morrisville</strong> Agriculture & Technical Institute) after graduating from Jamesville-DeWitt HS with a much less<br />
than stellar academic record. I also was not flush with money and was paying my own way. At the time, SUNY schools<br />
were tuition free. At my pre-admission interview, Mr. Wilcox, department chair, told me they would give me a chance. I<br />
succeeded and had a great time.<br />
To help financially, I worked part-time in the cafeteria as a cashier and was an RA in the old Helyar Hall my second year. I<br />
was the first president of the Phi Theta Kappa chapter and also involved with student government and ski club. At the time,<br />
we had a rope tow on a hill on North Street that was powered off the rear wheel of an automobile.<br />
My first experience on a motorcycle occurred during my time at MATI. Jim Schuyler, Business ’62, had a 1950 Harley-<br />
Davidson and gave me a ride one day. Jim and I are still friends and he still rides motorcycles.<br />
My first cousin, Tom Hogle, now teaches at <strong>Morrisville</strong>. He, like me, is an Oswego grad and a vet. He served in Vietnam.<br />

their support! Happy 100th birthday <strong>Morrisville</strong>!<br />
