In Appreciation After thirty years of service in and to the Town of Norwood, Mr. Lincoln D. Lynch is this year retiring from the school system. During these years of fruitful endeavor, Mr. Lynch ' s name has become synonymous with the school sys- tem — he is Mr. Norwood School De- partment, and the number of his accom- plishments is legion. Upon graduation from Rockland High School, Mr. Lynch entered Boston Col- lege. After completing his undergraduate work there, he obtained his master ' s de- gree from Boston University and went to Bridgewater to teach in the higli school, where he remained for eight years. In September 1931, Lincoln D. Lynch came to the Norwood High School as sub- master, faculty manager of athletics, and assistant coach of football. After two years he was elected principal of the Nor- wood Junior High School and three years later became Superintendent of Schools. During his years as Superintendent, Mr. Lynch organized the Norwood School Employees Credit Union and served as treasurer and later as director of this organization. He introduced the accident find health insurance plans for teachers, and the Norfolk Area Mental Health As- sociation was organized by him and he served as its president. He was one of the three people who wrote the framework of the New P ng ' and School Development Council, ;uid he 1 - came a member of its Board of Directors, as well as Chairman of its Science Com- mittee. Another Chairmanship which he has held is that of the Advancement Com- mittee of the Old Colony Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Lynch has always taken a very active interest in this organization and for many years con- ducted the Eagle Boards of Review. He received the Silver Beaver Award for his outstanding service in this work. He has retained his livel y interest in sports and has maintained his member- hip in the New England Association of Football Officials and the Southeastern Massachusetts District Board of Ap- proved Basketball Officials. Locally, he is a member of the Nor- wood Chamber of Commerce and has rep- resented his district as a member of the town meeting where he has been a familiar figure, competently and clearly defining and defending the school budget appro- priations. The Norwood Schools have grown and developed immensely under his guidance and administration, and it is with sincere regret that his resignation was accepted by the School Committee. His contribution to the welfare of the yiiung people in this community is im- measureable. We who have benefited so much throughout our entire school career from his administration, express our sin- cere thanks to liim here, and wish him good luck in his new way of life. [ 5 ]
