Words of Wisdom Infants require about 16 hours of sleep a day, teens nine hours and adults seven to eight hours. The amount of sleep required varies with the individual. One Club This concern has been ongoing for a long time. If Activities Director Clark Jones can combine all K-M booster clubs into one he should be up for some sort of a Nobel Prize. |

Nearly 100 visitors, many dressed in Civil War attire, turned out for the dedication and groundbreaking with the seminary in the background. The grounds at which the visitors are standing served as a location for a Civil War Memorial since General Edgerton proposed the idea in 1867.
