Those posed portraits, candid shots and listings of senior superlatives make for fond memories each year for students at Lancaster High School.
The staff from the school’s yearbook, The Rambler, are to thank for organizing and putting that information together throughout the year. And now, that recognition extends beyond the Bruin family.
The Rambler was recently selected as the best yearbook in the state by the S.C. Scholastic Press Association. The accolade is for the 2010 edition that came out last spring.

A somber but poignant drum cadence resonated to recognize military prisoners of war and missing personnel, also known as POWs and MIAs.  
Lonnie Catoe, a POW who served in World War II, bore a black flag that read, “You are not forgtten.” The audience watched silently as six other flags were displayed – each one representing a branch of military service.
Silent moments like this and loud cheers of appreciation characterized the scene at the annual Lancaster County Veterans Day program, held Saturday morning at the American Legion Building.

INDIAN LAND – Indian Land’s own Jacky Bayne will share how God has worked in his life, bringing him back from the dead, not just once, but twice.
Bayne was declared dead twice during his tour of duty in Vietnam in the 1960s, and although he lost his right leg and is paralyzed on his left side, he’s very much alive today, and happily married.
He and his wife, Patsy, travel all over the area, sharing his story at churches and schools.

Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County may soon receive a sizable contribution, but needs the community’s help for it to materialize.
A Lancaster resident has promised to donate $10,000 to the organization, just as long as the group is able to raise the same amount through donations. The donor wishes to remain anonymous.
“We know the individual,” said Virginia Biggerstaff, who serves on the board for the local Habitat. “I have been assured that he plans to follow through. He’s assured us he has the money.”
