Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   
    As incredible as it seems, we have yet another sad edition of the NNHS Newsletter this morning.     Mike York, Class of 1967, passed away in Smithfield on Monday, December 15, 2008 at the age of 59.

        From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 12/16/08, 4:21 PM - "  Mike York":

You may already know this but I just heard thru the g'vine that a classmate ('67) of mine, Mike York, passed away yesterday or within the last couple days anyway. Mike was an old buddy of mine from way back, as far as Parkview Elementary, then to Briarfield Elementary, and on to NNHS. He was employed as an Ironworker with a contracting company  & I would see him occasionally through the last few years here at the power station. He was a good guy.

   Oh, David! I'm so very sorry to hear this!  Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your friend and classmate.

Are Ye Able?

Words by Earl S. Marlatt, 1926
Music by Harry S. Mason, 1924

"Are ye able," said the Master,
"To be crucified with Me?"
"Yea," the sturdy dreamers answered,
"To the death we follow Thee."

Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Are ye able to remember,
When a thief lifts up his eyes,
That his pardoned soul is worthy
Of a place in paradise?

Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Are ye able when the shadows
Close around you with the sod,
To believe that spirit triumphs,
To commend your soul to God?

Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Are ye able? Still the Master
Whispers down eternity,
And heroic spirits answer,
Now as then in Galilee.

Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them, make us, like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.
