If asked to name all of the holidays in February, residents of Liberal would be able to name off one more than most people: Pancake Day.
Since 1950, Liberal has been competing against the English town of Olney in foot races with a twist – entrants must wear a headscarf and apron while carrying a skillet containing a pancake. The pancake must be flipped once at the beginning of the race and once at the end.
This tradition is relatively new to Liberal when compared to the history that Olney, England, holds. As the story goes, in 1445, a woman was using up her cooking fats before Lent by making pancakes for breakfast. When the church bells began to ring, she dashed out of her front door with her skillet.

As others were preparing for the Christmas season by putting up decorations, baking, and buying gifts, Christian music artists Big Daddy Weave and Dara Maclean were bringing Christmas joy by performing across the Mid-West. The musicians performed in five locations in Ohio, Texas, Okla., and even right here in Liberal, for a free concert on Dec. 18, 2011. The local Christian radio station, KJIL 99.1 FM located in Meade, sponsored the concert and made it possible to be a free concert.
The “Christ is Come” tour featured songs such as the traditional carols, “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Silent Night,” “Angels We Have Heard on High” and more, as well as new Christmas songs, such as “Glory,” “I’ll Be Brave This...

Seward County Community College/Area Technical School’s Singing Saints Concert Choir, Sound Express Show Choir, and concert band will collaborate for an evening of musical talent on Friday, Dec. 9.
Members of the choirs and band will be performing Christmas songs, including the well-known “Christmas Song.”
SCCC/ATS Student Yahaida Zubia is a member of all three groups that will be performing on Dec. 9.
“I have always loved performing, so I’m excited,” Zubia said, going on to explain that for her, the most difficult to perform is show choir because members have to balance singing and dancing.

1. Have Confidence
Studying hard pays off. Remember this, and think positively.
2. Relax

3. Make It Emotional
If you associate learning with emotion, it makes it easier to retrieve information from your memory banks. If you use positive emotions with the review, more than likely, the results will be positive, too.

Silence to pandemonium. The audience jumped to their feet and the auditorium erupted in applause after Thursday’s performance of “An Inspector Calls.”
“An Inspector Calls” slaps you in the face as the lives of the Birling family are examined. While their lives are picked apart, you can’t help but wonder about your own.
I left the theatre that night pondering every tiny detail in my own life. Who am I? Who are these people? Are they really my friends and family, or just enigmas on the road to nowhere?
The complex characters of this J.B. Priestly classic helped to display the talent of the entire cast. The inspector’s strong, demanding attitude and the sweet but witty personality of the young Sheila were the soundest parts...
