Raritan Review Raritan High School’S Official Newspaper Issue No RARITAN REVIEW RARITAN HIGH SCHOOL’S OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER ISSUE NO. 6 RELAY FOR LIFE BY: ASHLEY MIR Before we know it, summer will be here. The signs of summer are all showing: warm weather, flowers blooming, and most importantly, Relay For Life approaching! We began preparing for this year’s Relay For Life months ago and all the work is 100% worth it. Relay For Life 2014 will be held on May 31st, 2014 at 12:00 P.M. into June 1st at 6 A.M. What are the origins of Relay For Life? It first sprouted in the mid-80’s by a Tacoma surgeon. Dr. Gordy Klatt wanted to add to the income of the American Cancer Society in his community. He loved to run, so de- cided to raise money for cancer by doing something he loves. In May of 1985, Dr. Klatt walked for 24 hours around a track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington for over 83 miles. Friends and family paid $25 to walk for a half hour with him. He raised $27,000 for the American Cancer So- ciety. He then pulled together a small committee to plan a team relay event he would call the “City of Destiny Classic” 24-Hour Run Against Cancer. The following year, 19 teams took part in the first team relay event on the Stadium Bowl track and raised $33,000! Since then, Relay For Life has grown internationally and raised nearly $5 billion towards a cure for cancer. What is Relay? It is an organized community event set up to raise money for cancer. Teams of people set up their tents and camp out on the track and turf. They stay overnight as well. We come together to honor the survivors and those we lost to the battle of cancer. There is food, plenty of activities and entertainment going on all day! Though Relay is a team event, you do not need to be on a team to join in on the fun! Individuals who are not a part of a team are more than welcome to come and have a good time! You do, however, need to be a part of a team in order to stay in a tent and spend the night at the turf. How do you join Relay? It’s easy! To sign up for an event, simply go to www.relayforlife.org and put in your town or zip code under ‘Find an Event”. Then click on your town.

While Breast Cancer Awareness Month was in October, we celebrate it again. This month, our high school is hosting Relay for Life where teams filled with students and adults participating in it. Some people are joining teams in honor of friends or fam- ily members that have or have had cancer. This year, Relay for Life is being hosted at Raritan High School during May 31st and June 1st. Join the fun with friends and family!

  • 2. Stadium-Seminary Historic District
    STADIUM-SEMINARY HISTORIC DISTRICT From the Stadium-Seminary Historic District nomination [Editor note: the following has not been cleaned up from a scan of the original document.} The Stadium-Seminary Historic District in the City of Tacoma is a residential neighborhood of substantial two and three-story homes developed between1888and1930. It is located northwest of the central business district on a high sloping site along a bluff overlooking Commencement Bay. With in the district the rear an early 400 buildings in an area encompassing the equivalent of 50 blocks. This neighborhood is distinguished by its exceptional quality and variety of architecture and its unusual continuity of period that is only rarely interrupted by more modern structures. Lawns and street trees (predominantly Horse Chestnut and Maple) contribute to a pleasing, overall impression of green space. Although his proposal was never used because of unforeseen political and economic considerations, Frederick Law Olmstead was commissioned to prepare a master plan for New Tacoma in 1873. The general concept of the City Beautiful Movement did influence the eventual layout of the Stadium-Seminary district when construction began 15 years later. It was a planned development on a fairly grand scale which is today most apparent in the extensive street plantings, orientation to vistas and distribution of open space. Wright Park and Garfield Park are located on opposite sides of the district, although the former is separated from the neighborhood by a major arterial. Annie Wright Seminary and an undeveloped ravine provide additional landscape features of contrasting texture - one carefully maintained, the other left in its natural state.

  • Tacoma Chamber of Commerce
    TACOMA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Ms 40 BACKGROUND: Evolving through many incarnations, the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce has had a tremendous impact on the growth and development of the city. Little has been written on the history of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce (apparently the chamber never wrote a history). However, this collection contains a wealth of information on the early history of the chamber of commerce. On the evening of January 22, 1884, a group of prominent Tacoma civic leaders and businessmen met at the Pierce County Courthouse to organize a chamber of commerce for the city. They appointed a committee to plan a permanent organization, a second meeting was convened on February 15, 1884, and articles of incorporation and a constitution of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce Company were adopted. In this meeting a board of trustees was elected and a capital stock of $20,000 was raised with a membership cap of 200. By March, there were 58 members. During its first year, the chamber considered many questions concerning the development of Tacoma. The members recognized that their chief aim was to enhance the trade and commerce of the city. The board authorized the purchase of two lots on the corner of Pacific Avenue and South 12th Street, but the lots remained vacant until the Spring of 1885. On May 12, 1885, the board of trustees appointed a building committee, and ground was broken in July and the building was completed in November of 1885. The first meeting of the chamber in their new building was held in January 1886.

The Athlete Guest Speaker: Golfer Brian Mogg of the Year Committee is preparing to work with Channel 12, the Tacoma station, to present the AOY program to recognize the student athletes for this past year in a TV broadcast program. We have exciting news to share with the membership. We have a new Executive Director, Karyn Whitacre Siegrist, who will be “teaming” with our current Exec- utive Director, Bill White, for the month of May and then will assume the “part- time” position in June. We believe this will provide a good transition of informa- tion and procedures for Karyn. Please reach out and welcome Karyn to the TAC. We had strong candidates for the position, so it was not an easy decision. Howev- er, we believe Karyn will do a wonderful job as we prepare for the new TAC year that will start in September. We thank Bill White for his three years of incredible work for the TAC in this posi- tion of Executive Director after he took on the tasks from Doug McArthur, our long standing “anchor” of the TAC.
