Fifth-year MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo commended the Black Culture Club students and their advisors on their planning and preparation for this “important recognition and acknowledgement of Black history and culture.” “Our students and staff work so hard on planning for Black History Month, which is one of the highlights of the year for everyone at Malden High School,” Mastrangelo said. “The Door Decorating program has so much meaning for both those who participate in the decorating as well as the recipients, with so many themes, topics and sharing of information.” “So many lessons are learned by just walking around the halls of our school and seeing this type of amazing creativity at this time of year,” the MHS principal added. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY FEBRUARY 13 LOCAL DELIVERY SERVICE AVAILABLE (Weather permitting) WE SELL CIGARS & ACCESSORIES Four Chaplains Day to be observed on Feb. 3 O n February 3, American Legion Posts and other Veteran organizations around the country will observe Four Chaplains Day. This day commemorates the events of February 3, 1943, when the troop ship USAT Dorchester was sunk. The Dorchester left New York harbor on January 23, 1943, carrying four chaplains and about 900 passengers, including troops, merchant marines and civilians, as part of a convoy of three ships. Off the coast of Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. on February 3, the Dorchester was torpedoed by a German submarine. As the Dorchester began to sink, four chaplains of diff erent religions – George L. Fox (Methodist), Alexander D. Goode (rabbi), Clark V. Poling (Baptist) and John P. Washington (Catholic) – were helping to calm the passengers and organize an orderly evacuation. The life vests were passed out, but the supply ran out before the last remaining passengers had one. The four chaplains took their own vests and gave them away. The Chaplains continued their eff orts to help as many as possible to board the rescue boats. Having done all that they could, the Chaplains linked their arms together, said prayers and sang hymns as they went down with the ship. There is a connected story to this disaster.
