Editor’s CornerThis week marks one year since a

group of Albion High School studentscame to visit Marshall High School, theschool they would attend in the fall.

There have been the typical growingpains this school year much like anyschool would go through under a similar situation as studentsfrom both communities walked into the great unknown at thestart of the school year and seem to have come out at theother end with a better understanding and appreciation fortheir classmates.

Last week at the annual Class Night, one of the most en-joyable parts of the show for me was when a group of Mar-shall students and a group of Albion students took to the stagetogether, arm in arm, in a show of unity that theirs was not aschool divided but a school united as the packed auditoriumgave them a rousing ovation.

I cannot say with 100 percent certainty, but it seems thatthis school year at Marshall High School saw far more upsthan downs and those fears about what could go wrong havebeen put to rest.

Congratulations to the students, staff and administration atMarshall High School and to those from Albion who cametogether and showed the community (and the state) that itcould be done.

Even though last winter seemed to last forever, with theend of the school year and graduation time here, once again,as is the case year after year, the school year just seems toflies by.

How fast these kids seems to grow up. It’s a bittersweetfeeling as a parent. You want your kids to grow up to be solidcitizens of the community, make their mark in whatever en-deavor they choose and to be happy.

And then, they do. And as they branch out on their own,you realize that your role in their life changes to more of a‘satellite” as opposed to being the center of their universewhen you were Mommy or Daddy.

It’s always around this time of year, that the lyrics from theTrace Adkins song, Then They Do, come to mind:

In the early rush of morning,Trying to get the kids to school:One's hanging on my shirt-tail,Another's locked up in her room.And I'm yelling up the stairs:"Stop worrying 'bout your hair, you look fine."

Then they're fightin' in the backseat,And I'm playing referee.Now someone's gotta go,The moment that we leave.And everybody's late,I swear that I can't wait till they grow up.

Then they do, and that's how it is.It's just quiet in the mornin',Can't believe how much you miss,All they do and all they did.You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true,Then they do...

Until next week may the good news be yours.

Thousands of high school seniors throughout the area will receive their high schooldiplomas over the next two weekends, marking the end of one chapter in their livesand the start of another. What advice do you have to offer to the Class of 2014?

Marshall District Library is an extraordinary treasureTo the Editor:What an extraordinary treasure we

have in our community in the MarshallDistrict Library and its staff. Raisingteenagers can be a challenge, but withthe invaluable services MDL offers toarea youth, it makes the job a wholelot easier.

MDL, in particular, Librarian Assis-tant Diane Hamlin, does an incrediblejob listening to the needs and requestsof area youth, while guiding both mid-

dle and high school advisory groups inoffering an array of opportunities. Thestudents’ leadership skills are honedby organizing events with cooperativeteamwork and decision-making, host-ing events like Lego contests, boardgames, role-play, book discussions,and music exploration - just to name afew. Although each activity may notbe for everyone, the youth from Mar-shall and surrounding areas can ex-plore their varied interests while mak-

ing new friends in both a safe and pos-itive environment.

Thank you, MDL, Teen AdvisoryBoard, and Junior Teen AdvisoryBoard for all that you do; quite hon-estly, I can’t imagine a better way tospend our tax dollars.
