Establishment of the Lantern Award

During the tenure of Past State Deputy James H. Norton
(1956-1958), and at the time of the Diamond Jubilee an
outstanding feature of Mr. Norton's tenure in 1957
was the inauguration of the Lantern Award.
State Deputy Norton thought this was an appropriate
way to honor those who reflected the religious
and patriotic ideals of the Founding Fathers.
Named for the Lanterns placed in the tower of the
Old North Church in Boston to warn Paul Revere.

The award, given by the Massachusetts State Council
is presented at the Patriot's Day Dinner, which has
drawn a number of illustrious speakers over the years.
