The LYNN PUBLIC SCHOOLS played an integral part in a very moving VETERAN'S DAY ceremont today at LYNN MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM. There is not much doubt their involvement is PARTIALL responsible for the growing attendance at tis annualy ceremony.
The patriotic music performed by the growing LYNN PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND enegized the auditorium while ast the same time struck a solemn chord of deep respect. Beautifull accapello solo's were added by LYNN PUBLIC school teacher, GAYLE BASTARACHE, who always serenades the audience every year.
LPS FINE ARTS DIRECTOR JOE PICANO informed the audience that some sort of VETERAN'S program is performed in EACH of the schools thanks to the support and commitment of LPS SUPERINTENDENT DR. CATHERINE LATHAM. In the audience were LSC members PATRICIA CAPANO, JOHN FORD, RICK STARBARD, MARIA CARRASCO and addressing the crowd was LSC chair and MAYOR JUDITH FLANAGAN KENNEDY.
IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT LPS PLAY SUCH A LARGE PART IN THIS CELEBRATION BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING THE VALUE OF SACRIFICES MADE.
The AWARD winning LYNN ENGLISH JROTC not only PRESENTED THE COLORS but also treated the crowd to a couple of breathtaking drill presentations. The resppectful silence of the audience was frequently interrupted by gasps of amazement at their precision displays.
Sitting beside me as I enjoyed all of this was my son, TRIPPY, fresh out of football practice for LVTI. He took several pictures including one of the program which I already have up. I had already planned to have them up but it looks like I ran into some technical difficulties so I may have to wait a little on them.
