  • The 1957 Hourglass, the Staff Has Departed from the Usual Format
    T~e 1957 HOURGlASS presented by TH£ COlUfnBIH SCHOOl Ro c h ester , ne w Yo r ~ Volume 66 fORfWORO In offering the 1957 Hourglass, the staff has departed from the usual format. We present the book in a style and order depicting our theme, "Growth and Service," two intangibles of the spirit of Columbia. Our pages open with the tiny twigs, our Nursery Schoolers, and follow through years of growth and increasing service. They close with the class which, full grown in the Columbia spirit, will go forth to new worlds to the traditional strains of "Lead on, 0 King Eternal, the day of march has come." 2 OfOICATIOn It was before Pearl Harbor, but Hitler's armies were already on the march. Franklin Roosevelt was elected the first third-term President of the United States. Cincinnati beat Detroit in the World Series, and Joe Louis was World Heavyweight Champion. Our parents were seventeen years younger, trim of figure, ebullient in spirit. In that year, or close to it, to each of them was born a baby daughter. There follows a seventeen-year story of parents' sacrificing their own in­ terests for their daughters', and giving them the benefits of a Columbia School education. With the exception of the date and the events, the story is the same for parents of the entire school, Nursery through the Senior class. To all Parents of Columbia Girls, to express our heartfelt thank you for your continued love, guidance, and understanding, this 1957 Hourglass is affectionate! y dedicated. 3 AOrTIIniSTRATIOn MRS.

  • Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B
    “Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B. Bomar (guest post) * Original album Original label Buck Owens and His Buckaroos In the fall of 1965, Buck Owens was the biggest country star in the world. He was halfway through a string of sixteen consecutive #1 singles on the country chart in the industry-leading “Billboard” magazine, and had just been invited to appear at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall. Already designated a National Historic Landmark, the esteemed venue had hosted Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Ellington. Owens recognized the honor of being asked, but instructed his manager, Jack McFadden, to decline the offer. “When they first started talking about it, it scared me to death,” he admitted in a 1967 radio interview with Bill Thompson. Buck was worried the Manhattan audience wouldn’t be interested in his music, and he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of unsold tickets. McFadden pushed him to reconsider. When Ken Nelson, Owens’ producer at Capitol Records, suggested they record the performance and release it as his first live album, Buck finally conceded. Buck Owens’ journey to the top of the charts and the top of the bill at the most revered concert hall in the United States began in Sherman, Texas, where he was born Alvis Edgar Owens, Junior in 1929. By 1937, the Owens family was headed for a new life in California, but they wound up settling in Mesa, Arizona, when a broken trailer hitch derailed their plan.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

Taking cues from the burgeoning freestyle genre of music, (Which itself took cues from the classic 80s electro of acts like Mantronix and Afrika Bambaataa, and later acted as a disco-inflected progenitor to the 90s infusion of dance-house.) the duo recruited a rotating lineup of singers from 1987 to 1996, including Angel Civiles, Caroline Jackson, Sunshine Wright, Margo Urban, Evelyn Escalera, and Michelle Valentine. 01.

  • King, Kate (Catherine)
    Kate (Catherine) King 1961-2011 49 Years In 2004 my strong and healthy mother told my two brothers and myself that she had Breast Cancer. Just like that, our world was rocked. We then watched her undergo chemotherapy, lose her hair and have operation after operation. Cancer is unfair. Yet this unremitting, uncompromising and unprejudiced disease does something unexpected, it unites us. Hearing the words “I have Breast Cancer” come from my mother’s mouth profoundly changed me. It changed us as individuals and also as a family. It changed the way we spoke to one another, the way we treated one another and the way we lived our lives. Ironically, Cancer changed us for the better. Cancer made us better people, and a stronger, more loving family. Mama was, and always will be my best friend and I hope someday to be half the person she was. She always looked forward, and planned for the future. She never let negative thoughts or any diagnosis get the better of her. She envisioned seeing her children get married, meeting her grandchildren and growing old with the love of her life. People often say, “If anyone deserved a miracle it was your mum”. She was blessed with many miracles. She had three children that idolised her, had a Husband that loved her unconditionally, had friends that cherished her, had family and extended family that adored her and she was blessed with 6 more years when doctors only gave her 6 months in April 2005. She was our Hero. No, she didn’t get the miracle we all hoped for but she had many miracles in this lifetime, ones that most people can only dream about.

  • Sermon on Luke 21.25-36 for the First Sunday in Advent St
    Sermon on Luke 21.25-36 for the First Sunday in Advent St. Paul’s Ev. Lutheran Church - 12.2.18 – Pastor Nate Scharf “Don’t watch the game. Your heart can’t take it.” Each year I’ve encouraged a member or two of ours who is undergoing heart issues that it wouldn’t be wise to watch the game on TV. It’s just a game –football or whatever, but it’s amazing that even the nominal fan can get wrapped up in it and get fired up about a bad call or a great play. Can your heart take another holiday season? The gifts, the gatherings, the letters, the expectations seem to get bigger and bigger. The season has been extended as office Christmas parties are moving to after New Year’s because you can’t cram one more thing into this month. More importantly is your heart ready for Jesus’ arrival? Our hearts need Advent preparation. Jesus takes us to The End to prepare us for the here and now and for what is to come. What is your end game with all the gifts and goodies? Is it to bring happiness to those you love? Keep things in perspective. How often haven’t you seen the perfect gift cause a fight among siblings or be forgotten in a pile as they move onto the next and bigger gift? Keep perspective and think of the end game as you look at your life. Sit with Jesus’ disciples on busy Tuesday of Holy Week. He shows them the Last Day to help keep perspective on life now.
