2009 All Classes Gathering

Thank You to everyone who came out on Saturday Night (May 6th 2009) to be a part of the All Classes Gathering (aka The Un-reunion). The turn out was fantastic and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. After reading the comments and buzz the day after, I think it’s safe to say the night was a complete success and everyone had a great time. For those who were not able to make it, we have posted pictures to Alumni Facebook Page . Not on Facebook? No worries. You can also browse the pictures and leave comments on our Flickr Feed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnclassicalalumni/sets/72157618257074583/

If you were able to take any of your own pictures at the event and would like to include them in our photo feeds, please email them to photos@lynnclassicalalumni.org

Come out and play!

In our efforts to continue to serve and bring Classical Alumni together and stay connected, make new connections, and to continue support for the Alumni Scholarship Program, The Alumni and Friends of Lynn Classical High School Inc. is planning a number of social events for 2009. We have been amazed at the number of connections we have seen happen through this web site, through Facebook and our Alumni Facebook Page. Old friends have been reunited and new friendships have been forged. Why stop there? It is our hope now to be able to bring Alumni together, old and new, through social events and fund raisers. These events are an important part of our efforts to raise funds to continue to support and help current Classical students realize their dreams of a better life through education – and have a great time doing it.

When and What

• An “All Classes Gathering” in May for a Classical community get together
• A golf tournament in June to benefit the Scholarship Fund
• A Classical comedy night in the Fall just for fun

Additional information regarding these events will be posted here on the Alumni website as it becomes available.

Interested in these events? Show your support by sharing your comments or ideas here on our site, and don’t forget to spread the word!

We Need Your Support

In the past five years, thanks to the support and contributions of LCHS Alumni and Friends, we have distributed $271,978 in Scholarships to graduating seniors of Lynn Classical High School. Although our efforts to continue this trend are as strong as ever, the ability to sustain the scholarship program is suffering due to the increased cost and expenses needed run supporting programs and Newsletters. We are appealing to you for your assistance in helping Classical Graduates to a better life by receiving a strong educational foundation and an opportunity for education beyond high school.

Because of the fine education we received at Classical, many of us have gone on to be productive members of our communities. We have become Doctors, Lawyers, Educators, Police, Nurses, Firefighters, as well as many Graduates who have made their mark in government, private industry and business. You are the very people that we need to give back to deserving students of your high school alma mater, Lynn Classical High School.

If you have already assisted us in supporting Classical students, we thank you and ask you to continue your generous support. To our Life Members, we continue to thank you for your generous past support.

Clark Casteel, Class of ‘85’, has been a licensed practicing Acupuncturist in the state of Georgia since 2000. Clark played a crucial role in the struggle to have Acupuncture recognized as a legitimate field of medical science in Georgia. In 1999, Clark was an active member in “Georgia Friends for Acupuncture”. The group’s goal was to have Acupuncture recognized as a scientific branch of medicine and be licensed in the State of Georgia . Clark and the group’s work met with success in 2000 when Georgia became the 48th State to license Acupuncturists. Clark, in fact, became the second person to be licensed in Georgia as an Acupuncturist.

Following graduation from Classical, Clark entered the University of New Hampshire graduating in 1989 with a B.A. Degree in History and a Minor in Art and Environmental Studies. In 1995, Clark was awarded a Diploma in Acupuncture from the National Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Also in 1995, he was recognized as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine by the State of New Mexico.

Clark and Maureen, his wife of 10 years, are now living in Georgia with their three children Annalise 16, Michael 4, and Benjaimin 5.

Better With Age

They say some things get better with age – Wine , Cheese, the finer things in life. If that’s true, then we must have some pretty extraordinary Lynn Classical Alumni out there and we’d like to hear from them.

The Search Is On

We are looking for the oldest living graduate of Lynn Classical high School. If you graduated from Classical before 1938 or know of a living alumna who did, we want to hear from you.

Please leave a comment here on our web site or send us an email to classicalalumni@lynnclassicalalumni.org
