We Remember the Life of John Fleming

  Fifty-eight years ago, on January 27, 1967, a front-page article appeared in "The General" under the heading "Inferno Makes The Spotlight." In it were these words; "Not long ago, the teenagers from WHS involved in the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y programs emphasized the need for a supervised youth activity on Saturday nights. Taking their request to the YMCA, they found support for their plan. The YMCA program committee, headed by Mr. John Fleming​​​​​​, donated the facilities of the "Y" for this public service and gave of their own time and effort."

  We are grateful for the part John played in making our childhood wishes come true and bringing such great bands to Wooster: The Music Explosion, Me & The Guys, The Olivers, The Rationals, Terry Knight & The Pack(to become Grand Funk Railroad), The Wild Life, Sir Timothy & The Royals (to become The Ohio Express), The Buckles, The Streys and The Dantes!

A Tribute to a Friend: Shared by Mark Hostetler

"Spence McClarran has passed. He was a great student trainer and always did his best." He will be remembered for his dedication to serving WHS sports teams. His memory remains as he rests in peace.

Every Moment Is A Gift

Every moment is a gift, like every breath which comes our way.

Every second, every minute, every hour, leading up to a day; a gift.

And what do we give in return for this gift? A smile, a hug, a handshake; some gesture of goodwill?

Perhaps if we could, let us pause to consider a moment of silence; and then breathe in deeply, and exhale ever so slowly and give thanks we've made it this far.
