Your parents finally made it! Look what a difference four years can make! Do you remember in 9th grade “Scream” the TV series being filmed at DCHS? Do you remember the abrupt end to the 19-20 school year? I mean, “wow,” what a time to graduate! COVID-19 has created an entirely different world from Fall of your Junior Year to now. As the world goes back to “pre-COVID” times, remember the small things we used to take for granted … Family, Fun, and Fellowship. Do not lose sight of those things in or out of the COVID pandemic. It has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to serve you all through the good times, bad times and uncertain times. I have watched you all grow from scared, immature young teenagers to mature young adults that are ready to take on the world. I want you to remember the main goal of high school is to learn, grow and graduate. Of course, on the way, we know/hope you have learned a lot, been challenged, become a critical thinker, made friends, got involved, competed and grew. Graduating from DCHS sets you up to have options after high school and to make a decision of which way you want your life to go.

A Massachusetts Yankee in the Court of Charleston: Jasper Adams, College President in Antebellum South Carolina By Gerald Vaughn Massachusetts clergyman and educator Jasper Adams (1793-1841) was among the line of notable descendants of Henry Adams (1583- 1646), who fled persecution in England circa 1630 and settled on a farm in the Braintree area, then part of Boston. The most notable of Henry Adams’s descendants include U.S. presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, William Howard Taft, and Calvin Coolidge, and Vice-President Richard Cheney. John Adams erected a monument in Henry Adams’s honor in Quincy, Massachusetts. Jasper Adams grew to manhood in Massachusetts. His travels in adult life took him from Massachusetts to South Carolina, where he gained his renown. While his career was spent mostly in the south he was a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, at Boston, and a Corresponding Member of the Massachusetts’ Historical Society.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

    George Washington Never Slept Here! T et’s talk about your Security and about SECURITY NA¬ TIONAL BANK. The future of both can be inseparable. The decision is yours. AVTe’re not the oldest nor the largest Bank in the Washington area. ’ V Abraham Lincoln was never a depositor and George Washington never slept here. Jh fact, figures published on July 19 by the Washington STAR indicate that there’s been precious little sleeping by SECURITY NATIONAL BANK since its 1960 founding. We take pride in re-publishing the following deposit totals of SECURITY as listed in the STAR, which dramatize our solid growth: June 29, 1963 April 15, 1964 June 30, 1964 $6,818,315 $10,483,722 $11,017,322 The trend is markedly toward suburban banking and SECURITY NAIIONAL BANK is an outstanding example of a successful Washington suburban financial institution featuring “banking by mail. Overseas Americans, long accustomed to the names of a mere half-dozen or so Washington banks, have a shock in store. Many factors, not the least of them the population explosion, have drastically changed the banking habits of Americans, and produced suburban banks offering numerous advantages over old-line institutions headquartered in downtown, congested areas. In fact, suburban Virginia and Maryland banks in the area contiguous to the District of Columbia now are growing faster than those of “downtown Washington,” according to the STAR in the same July 19 article. And its figures prove conclusively that SECURITY NATIONAL BANK is among the leaders of these suburban banks in solid growth. So it’s easy to see why more and more Americans, at home and abroad, are “banking in person and “banking by mail” with SECURITY.

This women’s league began as a Super bowl halftime side show but has exploded in popularity and viewership. The LFL features all-female athletes, who wear helmets, shoulder pads, lingerie, and little else. The League’s Mission Statement sets out the image it would like to create for itself: “The Lingerie Football League has become the ultimate fan-driven live sports phenomenon—blending action, impact, and beauty.” 1 To obtain viewers, the league posts advertisements that exploit the sexuality of its players, sometimes having them pose with no clothes on at all.
