Empire State Building dedicated

“On May 1, 1931, President Herbert Hoover officially dedicates New York City’s Empire State Building, pressing a button from the White House that turns on the building’s lights. Hoover’s gesture, of course, was symbolic; while the president remained in Washington, D.C., someone else flicked the switches in New York. The idea for the Empire State Building is said to have been born of a competition between Walter Chrysler of the Chrysler Corporation and John Jakob Raskob of General Motors, to see who could erect the taller building. Chrysler had already begun work on the famous Chrysler Building, the gleaming 1,046-foot skyscraper in midtown Manhattan. Not to be bested, Raskob assembled a group of well-known investors, including former New York Governor Alfred E. Smith. The group chose the architecture firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon Associates to design the building. “

“With a grant from the Edwin J. Wadas Foundation, the scoreboard at Brothertown Stadium at Waterville Junior-Senior High School will be replaced.
Waterville Athletic Director Tom Gifford told the Waterville Central School Board of Education at their meeting two weeks ago the Wadas Foundation agreed to fund the full request of $45,475, which includes a 30-second clock for football.
The scoreboard will have a purple Waterville on top and Athletics on the bottom.”
