Dedication Of The Haynes Memorial Building
From The Rutherford County Sun, Jun. 29, 1922

A large crowd gathered at Cliffside Saturday night to witness the dedication of the handsome R. R. Haynes memorial building and to do homage to the citizen of whom the county at large is proud to honor and call a native son—the late R. R. Haynes. The life of Mr. Haynes is an inspiration to our young men and serves to show that in free America any young man with the proper equipment of will power and energy has his chance to reach the greatest heights of success—all dependent upon that within the individual.

Mr. Haynes built well and set in motion ideals that will go on and on in the after years and prove a blessing, not only to the people of Cliffside, but to the county and state. The magnificent school building and the edifice dedicated to his memory Saturday night are only expressions of his ideals, carefully carried out under the direction of his noble and loving son, Mr. Chas. H. Haynes.

The community building will do a great good in Cliffside. Here the different ones will gather for recreation and social pleasure and the human companionship and the worthy impulses and high ideals gathered will promote a healthy growth for better citizenship. Friendships will be formed, recreation will be had and all will be the better for having been presented the handsome building for their welfare.

Rutherford county and the state appreciates what has been done, and will be done, in the carrying out of the ideals of the late R. R. Haynes.
