Townhall...
Right of passage
By Paul Jacob
It’s that time, again: Young people in tuxedos and fancy dresses (and

planning – a two-day event in 2012 – is continuing to move forward. Our
lead story gives another perspective of Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall,
along with some great photos. Also in News:
