STARS & STRIPES: Students held flags during Friday’s Hugh B. Bain Memorial Day Program. The Bain Middle School program dates back to the end of World War II. According to this year’s event program, the remembrance was originally planned for the purpose of dedicating trees on the front lawn in memory of former Bain boys who had given their lives for their country. As the war went on, more Bain boys were lost, and the school searched for “some way of paying tribute to these boys.” For more photos from Cranston’s Memorial Day weekend, turn to Page 4.
