Advice to the old folks!
How to get out of very low cars.

This problem comes and sneaks up on you before you know it. You have to plan for it before you actually do it, making sure your weight is leaning toward the door. Sometimes there's some rocking back and fourth, and once your weight is closer to the opening, you can attempt an exit. Oh yes, make sure your hands are positioned on the right parts of the car. I don't usually make it on the first try.

The Aldersonian

In 1922 the Alderson Baptist Academy and Junior College of Alderson W.V., launched the first edition of their school newspaper, called The Aldersonian. The Academy printed it for several years and stopped it's publication. In 1928, the city of Alderson had just finished the construction of it's new public high school building and resumed the publication of the Aldersonian about that time. Alderson High School continued printing the paper until the school's closing in 1968.

The Aldersonian lie dormant until 1998, when Barry Worrell, an Alderson High School graduate, resurrected it on the internet. Starting as an exercise in web page building, The Aldersonian has continued for the past 22 years. It includes, school and city history, articles by the alumni and many photos, old and new. It also serves as the town newspaper, especially for those Aldersonians who are scattered across the U. S. and beyond.
