Mahoning Valley Forum

Harry Mays, a 1958 Rayen High School graduate, was instrumental in preserving the building's mural depicting 141 years of school history.  He is also co-compiler of "The Rayen School 1866-2007: A Retrospective."  Mays will discuss the school's founder and benefactor, Judge William Rayen, as well as its teachers, culture of learning, sports stories, alumni, and historical trivia.

I hope Allan is able to make it to this presentation.

Jay,

Thanks for posting this event - I can't guarantee that I'll be able to attend,
as I'm in the middle of a job search but I haven't started a new job yet,
I'd certainly consider it.

For those on the forum who haven't visited the website, here's a direct link
to the photo shoot [very amatuer, but...] that I did of the mural on the
final walk through on "Alumni night" - after the last homecoming gave ever.

I was definitely feeling a little sad after the event, but at the same time grateful
for the opportunity to take the tour, and say goodbye.

Jay, if you or anyone you know with a camcorder can attend the event I would
sincerely appreciate a video of the presentation - and would love to put it up on
the website for everyone to see.

Video and audio media that pertain to Youngstown history are something that I
am always trying to get more of.

:)

Don't forget this presentation at noon today.
