"John Evans (10 September 1875 – 18 April 1961) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Ogmore at a by-election in 1946, but stood down at the 1950 general election. John Evans, a fluent Welsh speaker, was elected MP for Ogmore in 1946, following a by-election, caused by the resignation of Ted Williams who had been appointed as high commissioner to Australia. It was said by many that at 70 years of age he was too old for the job but it is well to remember that Winston Churchill became prime minister for the second time at 76 and remained an MP into his eighties. John Evans was born at Cwmparc in the Rhondda Valley in September 1875 and attended the local Park Board School. He started work at twelve years of age in the local colliery where he remained for the next 20 years before winning a place at Ruskin College. On his return he became union secretary at Coegnant colliery, Maesteg. By now he was living at Nantyffyllon. He was elected to Maesteg UDC (1916–37) and Glamorgan CC in (1913–46). In 1929 he stood unsuccessfully for parliament in Montgomeryshire, and in 1931 he failed to get the nomination for Ogmore losing out to Ted Williams. Surprisingly, as the sitting MP, he failed to gain the nomination, from the Ogmore Labour Party, for the 1950 General Election, despite being steeped in mining tradition and Welsh Culture. Walter Padley gained the nomination and went on to be the MP for the next 29 years. Shortly after his non-selection, John Evans moved to Tongwynlais near Cardiff and from there won a seat on Glamorgan CC in 1952, at the grand age of 75. He died in 1961, aged 85.

""I Don't Wanna Lose You" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner. It was written by Albert Hammond and Graham Lyle and produced along with Roger Davies for Turner's 1989 album Foreign Affair. It was released as the album's second single in the United Kingdom and Ireland in November 1989, and third single in the rest of Europe and in Australia in February 1990. It became a top ten hit in Belgium and the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No.8, her fifth top ten single, while reaching the top forty on the majority of all charts it appeared on. Critical reception Gavin Report commented, "Nothing but the best from Ms. Turner. This track from her compilation set, "Simply The Best" is a declaration of possession sung by someone who's experienced her share of "have-nots" in the past."

"High Point High School (HPHS) is a public high school located in Beltsville, an unincorporated section of Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. The school, serving children in grades 9 through 12, is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district system. It is outside Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) and in proximity to Interstate 95. History Opened in fall 1954,Knepper, Cathy D. Greenbelt, Maryland: A Living Legacy of the New Deal. JHU Press, 2001. , 9780801864902. p. 109. High Point High School was originally going to be named Cherry Hill High School. However, school officials eventually settled on the name "High Point High School" because of the school's location on what residents believed to be the highest point in the county. Upon its opening High Point High began serving Greenbelt, and the former Greenbelt High School became Greenbelt Junior High School. By the late 1950s High Point used a "split class" system as it was over capacity. Greenbelt is now served by Eleanor Roosevelt High School, which was scheduled to open in fall 1976.Knepper, Cathy D. Greenbelt, Maryland: A Living Legacy of the New Deal. JHU Press, 2001. , 9780801864902. p. 149. During the period of Michael Brooks as principal some parents and students stated that his responses to incidents of fighting and truant students were insufficient. In 2011 the district placed the assistant principal, as an interim principal after a video of a fight at the school appeared on YouTube. In 2014 the district's board agreed to do a feasibility study on building a new school building. By 2017 the existing building had 2,700 students when it was designed for around 2,100 students. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 2,426 students enrolled for the 2014–2015 school year was: *Male - 55.9% *Female - 44.1% *Native American/Alaskan - 0.1% *Asian/Pacific islanders - 3.8% *Black - 28.0% *Hispanic - 65.1% *White - 2.2% *Multiracial - 0.8% 75.6% of the students qualified for free or reduced lunch. This is a Title I school. As of 2006 many residents of northern PG County are of Hispanic and Latino ancestry, contributing to a large enrollment of Hispanic and Latino students at High Point High. In 2016 Sandra Jimenez, the principal at the time, described the school as a "Central American Ellis Island" in an interview with NPR.

Academics In 1987 the largest English as a second language (ESOL) program in the school district was in High Point High; this program began in 1969, and the school in 1987 had the largest population of students originating from outside the United States of any PG County high school. the ESOL program includes ESOL 1-3, Advanced Critical Reading, AIM, Language of American History, Language of Math, and Language of Science classes."ESOL Department."

In 1987 it had classes in six foreign languages, and the school district was considering making High Point a magnet school for foreign languages. That year it received 200% of the number of requests for transferring into the school that each other PG County high school got. Student discipline A paper in 2014 by Scott et al. stated that High Point students, compared to students of other high schools in the district, "have a less positive perception of school safety and discipline".Scott, Molly M., Graham MacDonald, and Juan Collazos (The Urban Institute); Ben Levinger (Prince George's County Public Schools); Eliza Leighton and Jamila Ball (CASA de Maryland). "From Cradle to Career: The Multiple Challenges Facing Immigrant Families in Langley Park Promise Neighborhood." The Urban Institute, June 23, 2014. Abstract. CITED: p. 50/88. In the 2011-12 school year 36% of 9th grade students from Langley Park, who attended High Point, did not go to school for at least 20 days per school year compared to 29% district average for 9th graders and 10% district average for 7th and 8th graders; the Langley Park 7th and 8th graders truancy rate was the same as the district average. Scott, et. al stated that a possible reason was that start time of High Point was the same as that of Buck Lodge Middle School even though the high school's distance from Langley Park was longer than that of the middle school.Scott, Molly M., Graham MacDonald, and Juan Collazos (The Urban Institute); Ben Levinger (Prince George's County Public Schools); Eliza Leighton and Jamila Ball (CASA de Maryland).
