Editorial: So Sad To See End of Summer

Written by Margaret Whitely Friday, 31 August 2012 00:00

You always know it’s the end of the summer by two things…the chirping of the katydids or crickets, and the beginning of school. Katydids start sounding their call midway through August and of course school starts usually right after Labor Day. Good luck to all returning to school, including superintendents, principals and teachers and of course students and happy chirping to the katydids until next August.

Simply because something has happened or reoccurred several times in the past does not make it a tradition, something to be expected maybe, or something habitual perhaps. Tradition is different. It evokes a feeling of long-standing preplanned positive experiences built in layers upon one another.

So it is, apparently, with the Highlander Wrestling program. Year after year, young men and women graduate from the high school program only to return again as alumni freely lending their expertise, assistance and support . . . giving back to those who have not yet entered the fraternity of Highlander Wrestling Graduates.
