10 | <strong>01940</strong> A Lynnfield look back BY TRÉA LAVERY 1957 Lynnfield’s first high school football team started playing. The school first had a ninth-grade team and a junior varsity team composed of sophomore students, with both teams coached by Steve Sobieck, a veteran from the Korean War. The JV team played six games in its first season before going on to serve as the foundation of the school’s first varsity team in 1959. 1958 Lynnfield High School published the first edition of its student newspaper, The Beacon. Sophomore Cynthia Chaffee submitted the name, which was chosen in a school-wide contest. The first edition of the paper, published five times during the school year, was four pages long and consisted of news, short stories, gossip columns, sport features, cartoons and photographs created by students. It was financed by advertisements and yearly subscriptions. 1960 The town opened its new police and fire departments in their presentday building in Post Office Square. The building cost the town $250,000 and marked the first time the town’s police force had a dedicated headquarters. Previously, the fire department, which did not have any full-time, paid firefighters at the time, was headquartered at the Old Meeting House. 1961 The Lynnfield High School band appeared on national television when they marched in Washington, D.C. as part of the April Cherry Blossom Festival. The band was one of 50 across the country invited to participate. The band and majorettes marched in the Parade of Princesses, attended a concert by the National Symphony Orchestra and were given an all-day tour of the Capitol. 1978 Lynnfield Police Patrolman John Conley designed the first emblem for the department, drawing a picture of the town’s historic Old Meeting House to be displayed on uniforms and cruisers. Conley had no artistic training; the logo is still in use today. 1982 Cable television arrived in Lynnfield. In June, selectmen signed a 15-year contract with Waltham-based Adams- Russell Cablevision to establish a cable TV studio in the high school. The company began installing cables across town and the studio was ready for operation in September. 1994 Lynnfield was visited by the Ecuadorian national soccer team, which stayed at the Colonial Hilton Hotel in town and practiced on the fields at Lynnfield High School. They played an exhibition game at Wakefield High School, beating the Republic of South Korea 2-1. Residents had little notice that the team would be arriving, but word quickly spread after they were spotted practicing at the high school, and around 6,000 people came out to watch the game. 1994 The town unveiled the official Lynnfield flag, designed by the Historical Commission, at a selectmen’s meeting in May. The flag displays the town seal, which depicts the Old Meeting House on a blue background. On Flag Day of that year, the Lynnfield flag was hung at the Massachusetts Statehouse in the Great Hall of Flags, which had been built four years before.
