From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_from_A_Summer_Place:
"Theme from A Summer Place"
is a song with lyrics by Mack Discant and music by Max Steiner, written for the 1959 film A Summer Place, which starred Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue. It was recorded for the film by Hugo Winterhalter. Originally known as the "Molly and Johnny Theme", the piece is not the main title theme of the film, but a love theme for the characters played by Dee and Donahue. recorded the most popular version of the tune in the Columbia 30th Street Studio in New York City,[1] which spent an at-the-time record of nine consecutive weeks at number one on the still-young Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in early 1960.[2] It remains the longest-running number-one instrumental in the history of the chart. It reached number two in the UK. It hit number one in Italy under the title "Scandalo Al Sole".Faith won a
Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1961 for his recording. This was the first movie theme and the first instrumental to win a Record of the Year Grammy.Faith re-recorded the song twice – first, in 1969, as a female choral version, then, in 1976, as a
disco version titled "Summer Place '76".In 2008, Faith's original version was ranked at number eighteen on
Billboard's top 100 songs during the first fifty years of the Hot 100 chart...[3]

07/31/16 - "A short story":
| Dear Dave, I remember a short story published in the Beacon in the late '60's that I would really like to reread. It was titled, "The Ragged Man." Is there any chance you have it? Regards, David Womack NNHS 1969 |
||
| Hi David, Sorry, I do not have any Beacons. I was anonymously given a collection from 1961-1964 and donated those to 
Fred Mays ('60 - of VA). Maybe Carol can
poll her contacts to try to locate it.Good Luck, David |
||
Thank you, Gentlemen!
I personally only have one issue of the
Beacon Newspaper. It was the last issue of May 1965 that
 Terry
Haney ('66 - of VA) sent me over a dozen years ago.
The more I think of it,
though, I never remember any short story appearing in the Beacon at all.
Might it not rather have been published in Launchings, the
school's literary magazine? I'm in the middle of adding the entire
contents of
http://www.nnhs65.com/SITE-MAP.html http://www.nnhs65.com/Launchings-1964.html "Anyone? Anyone?" Under
normal circumstances, this would be my cue to get back to scanning, but,
um, sorry, that's not going to happen right now...
