October 7, 2017 by Reno

From out of the past comes two “new” films. First, from 1940, there’s an H. Lee Waters sequence of kids and their keepers at Tri-High and the elementary schools in Henrietta, Caroleen and Avondale. You’ll notice right off all the girls wore dresses (no slacks or shorts to be seen).

The second film, from 1948, is titled “This Is Progressive Rutherford County.” It’s professionally done, and provides a glimpse of how we lived in those simpler times.

More recently, on Nov. 14, 2011, Ben Humphries, Cliffside’s humorist-in-chief, regaled the Gathering for an hour with just some of the stories he’s tucked away in his prodigious memory.

The Cliffside Clock Tower

Our town clock was installed in 1920, and for over half a century tolled the quarter hours from atop the R. R. Haynes Memorial Building. When the building was razed in the late 1970s this new tower for the old timepiece was erected on the site of Mr. Haynes' original Cliffside home. Although the property of the county, the Cliffside Historical Society has assumed responsibility for maintaining this beloved antique.
