On March 6, while juniors were slaving over the ACT, seniors were getting jazzed up in their best dresses and sharpest button-ups in preparation for a tradition known as the Senior Social. For more than 20 years, this senior-only gathering has been a special event here in Grayson County for not only the students, but for members of the community as well. Influential figures of our county gathered with the senior class at The Rock for inspiring speeches, appetizing food catered by Farmer’s Feedmill and amusing karaoke.

We have fantastic coloring artists in Grayson County!
If you need proof, look at the first place winners of The Record’s Thanksgiving coloring contest. The Record received a total of 93 entries in three categories. Nine children placed in the contest. However, The Record staff had a hard time choosing the winners on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
Tyler Hayes, 5, of Leitchfield won the 3-5 year old category. Alicia Thompson, 5, of Clarkson placed second and Braley Bradley, 4, a student at Head Start placed third.

More than 1,000 high school juniors attended this year’s Governor’s Scholars Program for five weeks during June and July. Nine Grayson County students were among those chosen for the program.
Savannah Jo Anderson, Alex Baxter, Scott Blain, Carter Cannon, Kylee Gorby, John Jarboe, Erin Marshall and Andy Purcell participated in the unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discover different points of view while interacting with other students and learning new disciplines.

It took three years and the help of everyone in the community for Bonita Miller to publish a history of Little Clifty United Methodist Church. The book is printed and Miller will have a signing at the church at 2:30 p.m. to 5  p.m. Sunday.

The sun barely peeked over the horizon when the stillness was shattered by the roar of artillery. The son of a Clarkson man crawled out of his tent into the southern Moroccan morning to begin another day.

The heat of Monday was still pressing down when vehicles pulled into Nina Ruth Ray’s drive at 6:30 p.m. July 11, but by sundown, the heat had relented and the sound of music drifted through air.
Carl Tomes Jr. started a 10-day singing school in Ray’s three-car garage in Shrewsbury.  
Two fans circulated the air but did little to reduce the heat in the building. However the students didn’t seem to mind the heat. They studied Tomes carefully as he described the shapes and sang their tones.

Rick Rutledge, manager of Leitchfield’s largest department store, since 1986, retired on Wednesday, May 25.  Associates from the store hosted a party at the Centre on Main in honor of Rutledge with the patriotic designs that he favors.
“We looked at him as the father figure of the store, not the manager,” Dixie Davis said. Davis started her career at Walmart in Leitchfield and is currently a shift manager in the Elizabethtown store.
