Op-Ed: New Canaan High School Senior Art Awards 

By |

The year was 1969. A year of change, revolution and an historical benchmark in our country’s history. Apollo 11 was launched from Kennedy Space Center, making historic progress in space travel by successfully entering our moon’s orbit with a safe landing and return. While the war in Vietnam continued, many back home were coming together to make a stand for their beliefs, like the 400,000 people that migrated to the Woodstock Music Festival to experience the hymns of rock and roll. Political activism sparked by demonstrations, rallies, riots and raids across the country, with movements like the Stonewall Uprising, proved to be pivotal in this special year of our nation’s history.

The New Canaan 9-10 year old girls softball all-star team advanced all the way to the Little District Finals this past weekend. The team beat rival Darien two times in pool play, the second of which was a tightly contested pitchers’ duel with New Canaan ultimately persevering 5-4 in six innings. Carolina Welch pitched a complete game and went 3 for 4 in the victory. Darien rallied down 5-0 and scored 2 runs in the 6th to get the game within a run but came up short as New Canaan defense was strong and Welch got the final out via strikeout with runners on second and third. Unity Lee and Paige Davis connected for key hits in the Darien games.
