Page 10 SCHOLARSHIPS | FROM PAGE 1 most memorable already in 2012, when it all took an untimely turn when he passed away while competing in an international level triathlon in mid-August that year at age of 53. One of the time-honored traditions at Rich Angelo's alma mater, Malden High School, is the Annual Senior Scholarship night where a wide array of scholarships are presented. For the past 10 years, Mr. Angelo's family has joined the many Individuals, groups, agencies and businesses in providing generous assistance to dozens of members of each year's Senior Class. At this year's event, held recently in the Jenkins Auditorium, Mr. Angelo's family members said both "hello" — and goodbye— to the audience. For the first time since 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a full audience and presenters list was on hand for the event. After bestowing tens of thousands of dollars in previous scholarships over the past 10 years, family members announced the Richard Angelo Scholarship is being retired following this year, but not before also announcingthe largestever,one-night total in scholarships from one source in Malden High history. It was announced the Angelo Scholarship Fund this year is awarding 14 students their scholarships in the amount of $1,800 each, for a total of $25,200. That total will clear the funds remaining in the account, the family explained. Recipients included: "It has been an honor to assist Malden High students in Rich's name," they said. "His legacy has lived on very well." Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo said he was grateful for the ability to have the first full night of honors for the Class of 2022 Seniors as well as the generosity of the Angelo Family and the many other scholarship donors and sponsors. "It was great to be able to THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 17, 2022 THE GORDIE BARBRICK AND have as many family members and friends be able to attend this event and see their senior honored," Mastrangelo said. "We have so many generous individuals and groups who have helped so many of our students, present and past to continue their education." In addition to the traditional scholarships that have been bestowed for many years and most recent years, there was also a new scholarship awarded by the MHS Class of 1991 this year, in memory of the late former longtime Malden Public Schools educator, administrator and 27-year head football coach Paul Finn, who passed away earlier this year. This year's first Paul D. Finn Memorial Scholarship was presented in his memory by Melanie Philbook and Erika Christenon Israelson. The recipients of the $500 scholarships were a cheerleader, Alexandra Celona and member of the Malden High football team, Gavin West. "Paul Finn was such a kind, compassionate and caring man who helped so many students. We are honored to present a scholarship in Mr. Finn's memory," said Melanie Philbrook, noting that he served as House Principal for the Class of 1991.
