Spartan Pride On April 27, Dick Ruth ‘68 was inducted into the Lynn Classical High School Hall of Fame. Dick taught in the Lynn Public Schools for 35 years and from 1988 to 2007 served as Athletic Director at Lynn Classical. Just after his retirement he returned to teaching by accepting a part-time position in the math department at St. Mary’s. Details can be found on our website. On Monday Mr. Ruth suffered a bad choking episode in class: “When I was able to catch my breath Michaela St. Cyr brought her unopened bottle of water to me. I said thank you but I didn’t want to take her water. She told me that I might as well drink it because she wasn’t taking it back. Michaela is an outstanding math student and her actions showed me that she is an even more outstanding human being.” Science Massachusetts Water Resources Authority School Education Program The MWRA received dozens of entries from schools across our service area. The students who made it to the final judging session should be very proud of themselves. Even though their video was not chosen for a prize, it was selected to be among the few to make it to the final judging session and we want to recognize their hard work and talent as well. Each student received a Certificate of Achievement for reaching the final session in the judging process. Over the next few weeks the MWRA will be posting all the videos that made it to the final sessions on YouTube.

The sounds are excruciatingly painful for him. Donnenfeld’s hearing troubles began about sev- en years ago, after he lost a third of his hearing. He was diagnosed with acous- tic neuroma, a benign brain tumor that sits on the hearing nerves. Treat- ment included radiation. His world turned upside down, which is why he left his beloved corporate job and dedicated his time to researching noise pol- lution. His goal?
