Thanks to Anderson Community Schools board of directors, a request for a monument in honor of Madison Heights High School will finally be placed on the current location of Anderson High School.
As a past student of Madison Heights, I remember the pride that we students felt for our lovely new surroundings when our school doors opened in September of 1956. We dedicated our new yearbook, called The Treasure Chest (how appropriate), to our principal, Mr. Robert E. Collier, for his personal sacrifice in the organization of over 1,500 students. Of course, we’ll never forget our Pirate mascot, who led us in many victorious athletic games through the years. We dedicated our 1958 Treasure Chest to our government teacher, Mr. George Hunt, who, on that first September morning, quoted these words to us: “You cannot disobey the laws of God or man without someday having to pay for it. Retribution will catch up with you.” He taught us the way to live a Christian life. He was a mentor, and friend to many.
How fitting that such a tribute be made in remembrance of our Pirate legacy.

Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance
I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.

Letter: Source of inequality is not economic
The truth of the collapse of a living-wage economy for working-class America is a social catastrophe and, increasingly, a severe embarrassment to free-market ideology.

Letter: Let’s work through the problems
On May 14 I attended the county council meeting in hopes that I could understand what is happening in the legislative branch of our Madison County government. What I saw was politics at its worst and I cannot applaud either party.

Letter: Columnist Brown ignores truth
It’s hard to understand why The Herald Bulletin carries columns by Susan Stamper Brown, who has such a blatant disregard for truth in her conservative propaganda.

Letter: Taxpayers should thank the ‘few’
Are those who worry about the loss of the wheel tax concerned about the roads or about their jobs? Most of them could care less about people’s needs.

Letter: Government officials should answer to us
We, the people, have allowed government officials to lead us into the crazy one world order. But, is it working? Well, look at the results.
