Labor Day - a brief history of the holiday By Katelynn M. Molesky Disclaimer - This is the previously unpublished product of my very first attempt at an article from back in 2023. I apologize in advance for the writing quality and for any potentially outdated information - I was fifteen!Labor Day comes around once a year on the first Monday of September. As it is a federal holiday, most businesses, schools and workplaces are closed in observance. But what exactly is Labor Day, where did the idea come from, and why is it important? The origins of the holiday can be traced back to the 1800's. At that time in history, industries in the United States were growing and developing rapidly.

Blue Raider Band, LWU Singers collaborate on alma mater By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's Jennifer Bersaglia and Robert Palmer are working to revive a Blue Raider tradition. During Saturday night's pregame activities before the Blue Raiders' football game against Ave Maria (Florida) University at Parnell Family Stadium, Bersaglia took the Lindsey Wilson Singers onto the field to perform the school alma mater, "On the Hill of Lindsey Wilson," with the Blue Raider Band, which is directed by Palmer. It was the first time the two musical ensembles have performed "On the Hill of Lindsey Wilson" together. Palmer had the idea of performing the song together, but what he didn't know is that both he and Bersaglia, both of whom arrived at Lindsey Wilson in summer 2025, had been searching for a copy of the school alma mater, which was written more than 80 years ago.

Phillip Coffey - Rear Window View By Phillip Coffey Memories from my home southern upstairs window often reappear - so very dear as I first tiptoed to view above its lower seal, first traversed by European settlers on my Father’s side in the early 1800s. Hardships a-plenty endured by my Rogers, Keltners, Coomers and Coffey ancestors. Now I cool myself not far away with modern inventions including air conditioning. Yet, I also recall so very well in youth of sweat, Dampened sheets of Summer so very hot and piles of cover in dead of Winter With my little sister nearby to gather warmth Beside the chimney in a movable cot. Beauty returns swiftly in my thoughts of Forested hills and small pastures of green and broom sage well hidden from my Rear Windows Southern View. 2026-09-06 20:16:30 | Comments | Printable version
