SUPPORT THE NOTTINGHAM LIBRARY

Nottingham's new librarian, Manami Tezuka, is requesting help in meeting library needs.

Because Nottingham has a large special needs population and a large immigrant population, Ms Tezuka tries to find books that will appeal to students who are of high school age but read at a lower-than-high-school level. She has built up the fiction collection from school funds but she would like to build up the non-fiction collection.

If you would like to support the library, checks may be written to the Nottingham Library and sent to Nottingham High School, 3100 E Genesee St. Syracuse NY 13224.

Lost ring

My wife is from the Syracuse area. Some time ago, she found a class ring from 1957 with HNS on a red stone, and the initials RTC on the inside. Any ideas on how to find the owner???? We think it is a man's ring. Ralph Ward
