Wy’east High School started running in 1951 and converted into Wy’east Middle School in 1970. When this happened all the students were transferred to the new Hood River Valley High School. Now, as you all know we have our famous Wy’east hand clap. Back then we had a chant, and it went like this… “From mountains gorged by glaciers to Columbia surging main, lies a valley we love dearly and its fruited hills and plains. And between its flanking ramparts, tree cov- ered west and east, stands our school and all its glory. We hail your name Wy’east!” When it was a high school, the principal’s name was Ben Forsythe and the su- perintendent was George Corwin. If you want to see how the kids looked back then, check out http://www/videas.net/wyeast and you can learn more. If you didn’t know that Wy’east used to be a high school, now you do.

Well Valentine was against the law and said that there had to be mar- riage. Because Valentine was a Chris- tian, he secretly married young couples. One day, Valentine was caught and was sent to jail. The man who was to judge Valentine by the Roman law was named Asterius. His daughter had lessons with Valentine. One day Julia, Asterius’s daughter, asked Valentine if God heard every prayer and he an- swered, “Yes.” Julia told Valentine, “Every morning and night I pray to have sight.” (She was blind when she was born.)

By Leigh McDonald Why did Scott Lindsley and Joey Hewell choose a mill house for their business and call it “The Company Store”? Why was Hollis Nixon so passionate about our local mills that she volunteered years of hard work to keep them standing? Why did Jeff Tonidandel not raze but renovate one of the oldest buildings on North Davidson Street to house his Haberdish restaurant and serve us up fried chicken and Historic Mecklenburg Mill Village at 37th and Alexander Streets cornbread? And why did Jen Cole and Dale Treml join John Richards and myself in securing easements through Preservation NC to protect our three mill houses from ever being torn down? Tom Mayes answered these questions eloquently in his speech at theHistoric Preservation Awards Ceremony at the Charlotte Museum of History on August 22, 2019. (And, yes, we won an award!) Mayes’ book, Why Old Places Matter, How Historic Places Affect Our Identity and Well-Being, addresses how people who love old places—as we love NoDa— connect to history even in times of massive change. Mayes argues that old places matter because they give us our sense of belonging, giving us continuity, stability, identity, and memory. Thus preserving our old NoDa places is not just for understanding our mill village history, but it gives us our sense of ourselves.

  • Enlightener September 2021 Vol
    St. John’s United Church of Christ 500 West Main Street, Lansdale, Pa. 19446 Enlightener September 2021 Vol. XLI, No. 07 Life-Giving Words In a recent sermon, I invited listeners to focus with me on the challenge set forth by the author of the little letter in the New Testament known as Ephesians. In chapters 4 and 5 of this little letter, we are urged to give careful thought to what we say and how we say it, our end goal being that we are to aim toward imitating God. The Revised Standard Version of the Bible introduces this passage with the heading, “Rules for the New Life.” Eugene Peterson, in his paraphrase of Scripture, chooses “The Old Way Has to Go.” What, exactly, has to go? For starters, that which is not true. “Put away falsehood . no more lies, no more pretense. Speak the truth to your neighbors, for we are members of one another.” As divided as our nation has been in recent years, we, as people of faith, are challenged to remember that, like it or not, we are members of one another. Whether we agree with our neighbor or not, we are called to speak the truth to them, making sure our words are motivated by love and intended to give grace to those who hear. We are also urged to remember that while anger in and of itself is not bad ~ and in some cases is a necessary motivator in the face of injustice ~ we must not allow our anger to cause us to do that which breaks God’s heart.

  • Man and Superman a Comedy and A
    MAN AND SUPERMAN A COMEDY AND A PHILOSOPHY By Bernard Shaw EPISTLE DEDICATORY TO ARTHUR BINGHAM WALKLEY My dear Walkley: You once asked me why I did not write a Don Juan play. The levity with which you assumed this frightful responsibility has probably by this time enabled you to forget it; but the day of reckoning has arrived: here is your play! I say your play, because qui facit per alium facit per se. Its profits, like its labor, belong to me: its morals, its manners, its philosophy, its influence on the young, are for you to justify. You were of mature age when you made the suggestion; and you knew your man. It is hardly fifteen years since, as twin pioneers of the New Journalism of that time, we two, cradled in the same new sheets, made an epoch in the criticism of the theatre and the opera house by making it a pretext for a propaganda of our own views of life. So you cannot plead ignorance of the character of the force you set in motion. You meant me to epater le bourgeois; and if he protests, I hereby refer him to you as the accountable party. I warn you that if you attempt to repudiate your responsibility, I shall suspect you of finding the play too decorous for your taste. The fifteen years have made me older and graver. In you I can detect no such becoming change. Your levities and audacities are like the loves and comforts prayed for by Desdemona: they increase, even as your days do grow.
