The Forney “FIGHT SONG” was also printed in the 1964 Jackrabbit Annual. It was supposed to be sung to the tune of “Hey, Look Me Over.”

Questions concerning the exact wording of the FHS SCHOOL SONG and its origination have again arisen. So, “Here We Go!”—again. The Forney Band Director for 5 or so years in the mid-‘60s was a very talented man by the name of JOHN G. MILNOR, and he agreed to write the words and music for the song, “Forever Forney High,” which we now play before the beginning of each Varsity Football Game and many times again at the end. And nearly every year, someone asks me the words of the original song, and then that person sometimes believes me but other times says words like the following, “Nah, that ain’t right…..we always sung it this way!”

Three new partner businesses and a number of additional student-operated edutainment concepts are slated to open to the community this spring at The Opportunity Central. The OC partially opened to accommodate students and some retail in August.

Here we are, another Thanksgiving looming over us. I don’t know what to say. Should we talk about the fallacy that is the first Thanksgiving? Should we stop to consider the ridiculousness that is believing a group of Wampanoag Indians welcomed the Pilgrims with open arms, taught them how to live these mean lands, ate with them, and just disappeared into the mist? Here, colonists, take this land and create a white culture dedicated to liberty and opportunity. We’ll just be over here not doing much. Don’t kill the thankful messenger. The Smithsonian agrees with me. But anywho, that’s not what we need to talk about today. I happen to love and adore Thanksgiving. It’s my personal chance to reflect on the grace that has occurred in my life, for the mercies bestowed upon me that I did not deserve, for the tenderness shown me that I haven’t always paid forward. Yet, it’s different now that I don’t have parents in this world. My kiddos are spread out more often that I’d like. Turns out (maybe take notes on this if your children are still under your roof) that kids tend to grow up and learn to live, think, and feast autonomously. They migrate to places where they cannot get back to you on a dime. They are surrounded by other wonderful people called in-laws, who share in your love and admiration of them and who also enjoy their company. They have to do this thing called “sharing the holidays.” Here I sit. No parents. No set plans. No menu. Thanksgiving orphans unite.

Retail holidays now dot the consumer landscape throughout much of the year. That shift has made a day like Black Friday somewhat less unique than it was in years past. However, Black Friday remains the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season, and it’s still a major day for retailers big and small.

One of the most American holidays is upon us now – Thanksgiving! The beginning of the holiday is somewhat common lore with the Native Americans helping the Pilgrims to survive and eventually thrive. The example that the Native Americans gave the Pilgrims and the world at large is to help your fellow man when you have plenty, regardless of your differences.

Dear Connor and Leslie Ann, Congratulations on the day of your wedding. I wish to impart some advice to you two. You should know, however, this is not my advice, necessarily. I have garnered these tidbits from several older married couples whom I interviewed, strictly for the purposes of this column.
