By: Jill Pertler We are in the ‘amore’ season of the year. Love. Kisses. Hearts. Roses. Romantic cards. Candles. Champagne. A box of chocolates. On February 14 we celebrate Valentine’s Day. Or, better put, some of us do. For many years, the day had personal significance to me because I actually had a real life Valentine. He even lived with me. We at meals together, slept in the same bed and made plans for the future. On Valentine’s Day we used to exchange cards and everything. I even received a dozen roses on more occasions than I can remembe...

Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce is a studio album by British rock band Foghat, released in 1981. It was the first with new guitarist Erik Cartwright. The name of the band comes from a fake word made up in a Scrabble game. While the members are all British, Foghat never had a charting song or record in the UK. This could be because most of the touring was in the U.S. The album peaked at No. 92 on the Billboard 200, making it a slight improvement over the group’s previous record, Tight Shoes. In a...

Overview of 1920 to 1929 The first-ever SHS yearbook was published for the 1920-21 school year. It was a quality piece that included a surprising amount of detail about the students. Unfortunately, it was not produced again until 1924 and stopped being published soon thereafter. One can only presume why there were no annuals for over twenty years. The Great Depression certainly played a role. A push to conserve paper during wartime was likely a factor as well. Regardless, Staunton was not alone in its plight, as most community high schools in t...

By Tom Emery For weeks, the airwaves have been consumed by alleged payoffs by former President Donald Trump to cover up affairs, leading to his arraignment on April 4. Whether he will be found guilty or innocent remains to be seen. But whether you love or hate Trump and the charges against him, one thing is clear; he was hardly the first chief executive to play around at some point. Throughout American history, Presidents have been accused of extramarital activity, and in many cases, the rumors were true. The best-known examples of...

By Tom Emery Military action in the Spanish-American War lasted less than four months, and the war receives only passing mention in history books today. Feb. 15 marks the anniversary of the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana Harbor, the flashpoint in tensions between the United States and Spain that led to the conflict. The issues had roots in the ongoing fight for Cuban independence. Americans were sympathetic to the plight of the Cubans as pro-war hawks and the press portrayed the Spanish as a brutal authority. At the time, many blamed...
