Our class is once again planning to award a $1,000 scholarship to a deserving student in the graduating class of 2021.  The past year has been very difficult for everyone but especially students.  Seniors hoping to head off to college in the Fall have lost so much so we are happy to be able to follow through once again with a scholarship from our class.  Please go to the following website in several days to see the posted Class of ’65 application form:  LEHSguidance.org and click on Scholarship & Financial Aid to find the application.  Note:  Preference may be made to a grandchild of a Class of ’65 classmate.

Classmates!  It’s that time of year again.  Over the past 28 years you as a class have been very generous.  We have awarded over $29,000 in scholarships.  We would welcome donations large and small to possibly award a second $1,000 scholarship or replenish our funds to be able to award one next year.  You can request a Scholarship Donation form on our website.  Thank you for considering this worthy cause.

In the Spring of 2020 our 55th reunion was scheduled to be held at the DoubleTree (Old Ferncroft) in Danvers.  The pandemic caused rescheduling to Friday, September 24, 2021.  The Committee in the next few months will discuss our options with the hotel and decide whether we should keep the date or maybe put it out another year if possible.  We hope you and your families have stayed safe & well during these unprecedented times and that we get to see you at our 55th Reunion whenever it may be!

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Stephen H Goldstein of Beverly, MA who passed away on June 13, 2020 as posted in the Lynn Item.

This year, due to the Coronavirus, LEHS was not able to have an actual Awards Ceremony.  We are happy to report  because of some very generous classmates we were able to present two $1,000 scholarships.  This year we limited the candidates to grandchildren of our classmates as long as they met the requirements.  We had two candidates apply and were happy to present each of them with our LEHS Class of ’65 Scholarship.

Our scholarship recipients are:

1). Tyler Drinan (Grandson of Linda Wurdeman Curcuru) ranks in the top 30 percent of his class, was an Honor Roll student for all four years & plans to attend Franklin Pierce University where he will major in Sports Management.  Tyler loves playing and following sports; played soccer for the first two years @ LEHS and football for his final two years as the starting kicker; played four years of basketball and was on the team who won the Massachusetts Division 1 boys state basketball tournament for the first time since 1938.  Tyler has been a reliable Aide to the Vice-principals, volunteered at Lavender Day Soccer Camps along with working three years at Market Basket.  Tyler also has completed the two-year Cisco Academy program to become a certified IT professional.

2). Ryan Bursey (Grandson of Pat Johnson Morley) also ranks in the top 30 percent of his class & plans to attend Plymouth State University where he will major in Nursing.  He was a member of the LEHS Football team and the All-Lynn lacrosse team.  Ryan has worked part-time at Zumiez and Vinwood Catering.

Tyler and Ryan have both worked very hard during their years at LEHS; we are sorry their graduation plans and all their classmates’ plans, etc. were so impacted by the Pandemic.  We wish them both much success & happiness in college and in life.   

Thank you to those of you who generously donated this year to make it possible for our class to give a second scholarship.

Thanksgiving is the day we pause to give thanks for the things we have.

Memorial day is a day when we pause to give thanks to the people who fought for the things we have.

Congratulations to the team.  They have once again done a terrific job.  Thank you to everyone who made a donation to these hard working students.  We wish them nothing but the best in their future competitions.
