LATHAM LIFTED BY GRAD'S INNER STRENGTH

Fecteau-Leary graduates stand tall

I am the first to admit I am confused about how to treat to this story. On the one hand I am anxious to give high both DR. LATHAM and the MAYOR high marks on their praise of a real accomplishment for these graduates. A DIPLOMA is an achievement even if it is a BLACK SHEEPSKIN

See though here is where the hypocrisy begins. By calling attention to it by singling it out is kind of like a double edged sword. It also lessens its value by pointing  out the traveled a different road to get there. Sure the road was more difficult but most peoplr will just remember it was different.

I was at a LSC meeting last week where the changes to the academic curriculum at LVTI were touted. It was said that they will someday be considered equally when thinking of the other high schools on LYNN" ENGLISH. CLASSICAL, and ST. MARY'S.

Did I hear that right? ST. MARY'S. Yea, it wasn't really wrong to mention that private school but I was taken a little aback by the complete ignoring of FACTEAU-LEARY. It does make one question the sincerity of everyone's praise.

What ya gonna do cause you can't win..
