AHS exploding pumpkins

Submitted by Casscounty1 on

Keeping with the spirit, Wommack used reactions to blow up pumpkins and create foaming vials of essence. The classes wrapped things up with a test on how long it takes dry ice to move to its gaseous state and explode in a closed container.

Rays celebrate 73rd

Submitted by Casscounty1 on
Former Linden residents Bill and Bess Ray celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on Nov. 2. Their marriage continues to endure.
In mid-June some 73 years ago, Bill Ray, a United States Marine, was transferred from Dallas to the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Nashville, Tenn. One Sunday morning at church, Bess Simpson walked into the Young People’s Class and there he was (not in uniform) and the only vacant seat was beside him. They sat together during church services, after the services Bill asked to drive Bess home.
By mid-September they decided to be married on Nov. 2, 1940. It was noted that 1940 was a leap year, but when it was announced that Bill Ray and Bess Simpson were to be married on that date, everyone said, “That’s Sadie Hawkins Day!” The wedding went on as planned.
