Old friends reconnect during high school reunion

The weekend of Oct. 16-18 was a testament of the beauty and rejuvenation that comes from reuniting with individuals 35 years after a monumental event like high school graduation. As a member of New Bern Senior High School Class of 1991 from New Bern, North Carolina, I had the distinct pleasure of reminiscing and creating new memories with people I haven’t seen in many years. My classmates and I came from near and far to hug, fellowship, talk, laugh, dance and reconnect in ways that soothed my soul, reminded me of my roots and caused me to express deep gratitude for my upbringing in a city that nurtured loving, lifelong relationships. With a graduating class of over 300 students, my classmates and I have always had a special sense of pride and nostalgia that is unique to us. We were the last class to attend high school at the location that is now Grover C. Fields Middle School.

Teen killed in Deerfield crash identified as Evanston Township High School student

The teen killed in a crash in Deerfield, Illinois, early Monday morning was identified as an Evanston Township High School student. Deerfield police said around 12:19 a.m., officers and members of the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District responded to the 1100 block of Waukegan Road for a report of a crash involving two vehicles. Officers arrived and found a two-vehicle crash in the roadway involving an Audi SUV and a Chicago Tribune Box Truck — both with heavy damage. The driver of the Audi, identified as 17-year-old Charles Halliday of Evanston, was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy was completed at the Lake County Coroner's Office. Preliminary results indicate that the teen died from blunt force injuries as a result of the crash. The school says Halliday was part of the 2027 class and a member of the ETHS theater community.

A reserved meeting room has been empty for twenty minutes. Can your group take it?

Every library study room is occupied except one marked reserved. Its booking began twenty minutes ago and nobody has appeared. Your group has an urgent presentation to prepare, while library rules say reservations remain valid for half an hour.

When may obvious nonuse defeat a formal claim?
