 The Clayton Museum of Ancient History at York College now features an interactiveexhibit for children. The exhibit features an archaeology dig area, where children will unearth objects representing many periods of history. Also included is a Roman marketplace, where children can dress up like a Roman and play shopkeeper, restaurant owner, and doctor. An ancient Israelite home and harbor completes the experience.
“It’s a children’s museum with an ancient twist,” says museum curator Amber Soderholm. The museum recognizes several sponsors for this special exhibit including the York County Visitors Bureau, Wal-Mart, DTS Systems, Marquisette Bickford, and F. Stanback.  This fall the achievements of Bill Pink ’87, Misty (Wellman) Brestel ’02, and Ashley (Wellman) Waldrep ’07 are celebrated as they were inducted into the York College Athletic Hall of Fame during a luncheon ceremony on October 21.  York College senior Nolan Henningson will present a concert of classical favorites and musical theatre standards at his senior recital Saturday, October 1 at 8:00 p.m. in the campus Prayer Chapel. This performance is free and open to the public. No tickets or reservations are necessary. The concert will feature modern selections as well as music of the Impressionist and Romantic Periods. Henningson will perform in four languages and numerous styles, with pieces by Mendelssohn, Debussy, and Donicetti, among others. Kay Magner will accompany him on the piano.  York College will recognize two alumni for their lives of service and success with 2016 Alumni of the Year awards at Homecoming. The awards will be presented to Wayne White and Lanny Gridley during alumni chapel at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 22.
