ANNOUNCEMENTS/TODAY'S EVENTS

We are halfway through EAGLE NATION! Get those umbrellas out, as it will be pouring over the next few days, with the possibility of some snow. Tonight is our Winter Sports Meet the Coaches Night at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium.

Today's moon is 73% visible and decrescent, as we are two days away from the third-quarter moon. An interesting weather fact about November 20th is that historically this date has seen significant snowfall events in parts of the Midwest.

Congratulations to the Galway Boys XC team who finished 6th place at the New York State Class D Championships on Saturday. Great job this season to the boys as they had an undefeated dual meet record, won the WAC small school division, won Class D Sectionals, and came in 6th in the state.

The Blue and Gold Game is making a return this year! Come out and support our JV and Varsity Basketball teams.

On this date in history:

In 1998 American tobacco companies signed an agreement with the governments of 46 U.S. states to settle the states' claims for reimbursement of Medicaid funds they had expended to treat smoking-related illnesses, the settlement costing the tobacco manufacturers $206 billion beyond the $40 billion they had agreed to pay four other states in 1997.
In 1992 a massive fire erupted at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England, causing the destruction of 115 rooms, though the priceless art collection was largely untouched; it took nearly five years to repair the damage.
In 1917 for the first time, tanks were used effectively in warfare, by the British at the Battle of Cambrai.
In 1820 The American whaling ship Essex was rammed by a sperm whale and later sank, inspiring the climactic scene in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851).
