continued Students discover there’s more to history than what’s in textbooks For half of a century, the Handbook has been a tradition at Bay High. 1979 marks the 50th anniversary of the Bay High School yearbook. Milestones such as this tend to get people thinking about history. Bay kids living in the Western Reserve are com- pletely surrounded by it. Although history seems to be forgotten as quickly as it happens, this is not the case in our commun- ity. There are numerous projects being conjured up that are aimed at bringing back the memories of ‘‘the good old days . The majority of these projects involve students from Bay High School. The Bay Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and community have all joined together to build a log cabin off Cahoon Road. Boy Scout Bill Whitlock said, The building is a replica of the Cahoon’s home, the first building ever to be built in Bay. The construction is a car- ryover from the bicentennial project in 1976.” Another historic project in the making is the restoration of a 102 year old mansion on Lake Road. Gloria Britton, a junior, is one of the inhabitants of this house. The thought of living in a big, old mansion gives most kids an eerie, spooky feeling. According to Gloria, After four years, it doesn’t seem any different that a regular house. A different attempt to preserve our communities’ “bygones is the tours given at the Rose Hill Museum on Lake Road. The museum displays items dating way back in Bay’s history. So, for any student who wanted to find his community roots”, he didn’t have to go far. Bay Village abounds in history. In the act of trimming a loft support.
