Herald - Lantern - Dispatch 29 May '85 .k 19

From The Principal By Stanley Kotzen . ■ Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School • / 1

Memorial Day for some is the herald call of the new season at the shore, but the only trumpets we played at LCMR last Friday echoed the mournful sound /of Taps. We stopped everythying for a few silent moments at the startj of another school day to focus on the essence of our long weekend. For one half hour our attention was directed at the significance of May 30 (or May 27 whenever Memorial Day is enjoyed). It was a show of respect for i the sacrifice of youth and a reminder that this country is still a very special place, as it had been for so many j who gave their lives in its i call. I GREW UP in a time long before Memorial Day became a Monday-long | weekend, and a time when patriotism was the way of | life. As a youngster of 7 on ; December 7, 1941, I grew |

up with a pantheon of heroes that were real. There were Colin Kelly and Roger Young, Audie Murphy, "Bull" Halsey, Jimmy Doolittle, and Merrill's Marauders. My elementary school years were spent buying savings stamps and war bonds, collecting tin foil, newspapers and cooking i fat. V-J and VE days were i much bigger celebrations i than any Phillies Victory i Parade — and Memorial < Day was an event of special i note for neighborhoods with gold star mothers. MY HIGH SCHOOL years were constantly being interrupted by names Pork Chop Hill and the Inchon Landfhg, the Pus an Perimeter and Pan Mun Jom, the 38th parallel and into China — and Memorial Day was a time for family picnics, parades and big league doubleIt was still observ-

Eleanor of Aquitaine - the film version of which starred Peter

O'Toole and Kathryn Hepburn. The three spring offerings in the season will be Christopher Durang's brilliant comedy, "Beyond Therapy", Athol Fugard's Tony Award-winning ".Master Harold . . . and the boys", and the Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt musical "110 In The Shade", based on the play, "The Rainmaker". ACCORDING TO Aiken, SJRT's ninth full season has every indication of being its best to date.

ed on May 30 despite midweek inconveniences. It was 1968 at the height of the Vietnam conflicts at home and abroad when Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law the fourth Monday in May designation for Memorial Day. SO OUR STUDENTS, now separated in time from the draft and the commitment to serve, growing up a time when patriotism seems so remote from the needs of survival in the age

of technology, need to be V, reminded of the true pur pose of this long weekend in 1 May. i There is no way, we can fill them with feelings that 1 have been a part of so many of our lives. They can learn to stand in silent tributes to those who wore their county's uniform and paid so dearly. It is the least that our school can do to place a sense of perspective into the first weekend of the season.
