Cliffside Historical Society
About Us
The Cliffside Historical Society is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to collect and preserve the history, memories and lore of Cliffside, in the form of documents, articles, photographs and written or recorded memoirs. This Web site is a part of that effort.
We need members and contributors. The individual membership fee is only $10 per year ($15 per family)—and you can buy lifetime memberships. Cash donations beyond that will be most appreciated.
Members (called “Friends of Cliffside”) receive The Cliffside Chimes, newsletters filled with history and memories, news of the projects we're undertaking and the progress we're making, and previews of material coming soon on Remember Cliffside.
There are four such newsletters a year. Here is a sample of one of the issues in this PDF file. We hope you will check it out.
If you are not already a member, we need you—not only for your cash contributions, but to become involved in one or more of our projects. We need people to do research: to interview and record the stories of our older residents and former residents of Cliffside and nearby areas; to help search for facts, identify photos, create archives, etc. We also need people who like to write, who are curious, who like to get to the bottom of things. You don't have to live in or even near Cliffside to help. |

The Web Site and Cliffside Chimes:

And every quarter they publish the Society's newsletter, the Cliffside Chimes, which is mailed to over 200 members and friends of the Society. |

The photo is not of our board, nor even our officers. The young man at the upper right is Charles H. Haynes and the others are probably some of his friends at Guilford College, about 1895. (From the Hazel Haynes Bridges collection) |

| The 3rd Annual Society Gathering |
Posted Nov. 1, 2009 |
|
It was the largest Gathering yet. Over 100 members and interested citizens convened on the evening of October 9, to hear Ann Culbreth and Brenda Walters, with a Powerpoint presentation, talk about their father, H.C. Beatty, Cliffside School's principal for many years. Several members of the audience also spoke about their experiences as students under Mr. Beatty's firm hand.
And a touching tribute was paid to Eugene “Cheetah” Lipscomb, a life-long resident of Cliffside, whose extraordinary work in rock masonry has added much to the town's appeal.
His two sons, Martin and Robert accepted the award for their father, who could not be present. James Harris, who presented the award, and Wayne Smith, have known Mr. Lipscomb since their youth, told how his integrity and wisdom have influenced their lives.
Phillip White, who succeeded Mr. Beatty as principal of the school, was the evening's master of ceremonies. He told stories of both Mr. Beatty and Mr. Lipscomb.
Transcripts and audio of portions of the talks are forthcoming. You can view more photos made that evening, and during the next day's festivities in the Current section.

| The 2nd Annual Society Gathering |
Posted Nov. 1, 2008 |
This year's Gathering on Friday night, October 10, had a strong panel of speakers: Jim Ruppe, Ben Honeycutt and Don Bailey, who were was captured in these nice photos by Marilyn Moore Kerr.

Over 90 enthusiastic friends of Cliffside had a grand time enjoying themselves and the speakers, who related their childhood and boyhood memories. Don gave an interesting talk on the history of Cliffside churches. On this night and the next day, we gained 35 new members and 24 renewals.
Jim, vice president of the Society, extends this message:
Thanks for all your help in making the Cliffside Historical Society’s weekend a most successful one! New memberships and renewals were up over last year. Souvenir sales also showed an increase. The hard work by a number of people helped to make the events a success.
In the corporate world, it would be time to do a post-mortem, while the events are still on everyone’s mind. This poll will be used to guide the Society for next year’s meeting, determining what went right, what went wrong, and ways we can improve next year’s meeting and Cliffside Day.
This would include everything from initial planning to the program, facilities, selection of speakers and any items that you feel need to be addressed or would be helpful. Your input is important and any comment, no matter how brief would be appreciated!

Where are you now?
If you're from Cliffside, we'd like to know what happened to you. We've devised an online survey sheet containing a number of questions about your parents, your life in and away from Cliffside, about your present whereabouts, your education, your family, etc.
You can type your responses right onto the two pages, then print the document. Or you can save the document and attach it to an email. Send it to rbailey@carolina.rr.com.
