Denison salutes Top 10, Class of 2021
DISD
In spite of challenges caused by the nation’s worst pandemic in history, Denison High School’s Class of 2021 graduating seniors are looking forward with great excitement to Saturday May 22nd at 8:30 p.m. when they’ll make the time-honored trip across Munson’s historic graduation stage to proudly accept their diplomas. Because the ceremonies will be outdoors, masks will not be required, but social distance guidelines will be enforced. Only graduates will be seated on the field.
In case of rain on Saturday, graduation will be moved to Sunday night at 8:30. If it rains on Sunday night, the program will be moved to the DHS gymnasium and each senior will be issued four tickets to distribute to family.
WHILE the current Methodist church stands proudly at Darling Street, Enniskillen, this was not the site of the original chapel. Raymond Millar, a mine of historic information about the church, revealed that in 1793, the first Methodist chapel was built near Wellington Place; however, due to the growth of the congregation, the building was replaced in 1846 by a chapel in Wesley Street. Methodism in Fermanagh can be traced to 1763 when it was established by William Price, a former soldier in the Inniskilling Dragoon at Tonylomon, a few miles outside the town, with Methodism established in Enniskillen in 1779. In 1859, the second Enniskillen chapel proved too small to accommodate all who wanted to attend. Additional ground was purchased in 1863, and the foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Enniskillen on June 17, 1865.
