by Joan DelMnty & Rhodi Keller .
BALDWm/i^REEPORT - The lights went but this past week in these
two neighboring communities, tet apparently the most crushing loss
was the halt in the Baldwin^ Senior High School concert Thursday
evening. May 19; wiiile the only physical "problem" was a deHveiy
man stock in an elevator Friday afternoon in Freeport. No injuries or
acddents were reported in either
brief langhtet frcra the audiezux^
A^ the audience calmly waited.
Band Director Helen Bauer
explained to the andieoce' that
"we know our music, but tiot that
"well." Because of only one large "
emergency light on the stage
txcM, the band was.not able to
continue pbying. Wlule several
students appeared to be attempt-comraumty.
The "coincidence" — the two
black-oota had different causes
and were on -t*b successive
days — began Thursday evening,
at about 10 pm, in Baldwin.
At Baldwin Seitior I S ^ School,
the Aimua! Spring Concert with
choirs and the 9-10 Prep Band
was bdng held. The auditorium
was.-fin^ with approximately ing to arrange an impromptu
compteted. - when the ligttts
flickered moiientatily, went out,
and the emergency lights im­mediately
went on.
At first most people assumed
that there was aproblan with the
stage lighting or that a fiise had
blown. Tben, people noticed that
the area outside the auditorium
seemed dark. An older student on
the lighti/ig crew calmly ' an­nounced,
fi^ the balcony, that
there appeared to be a problem-with
as outside transformer
wfiich "might have been struck
by lightening." Within seconds,
. Principal Peter Lyndi Came to the
fitmt of the auditorium to an-noimce,
erroneously as it Uter
turned out, the trajuformers had
been hit by U^tetung and they
' hoped that LILCO ocnld correct
. the problem shortly. There was
retimed •tD'annoori6ethat"tht
problem was widespread and was
affecting areas onuide the filgh
school. He noted that they bad
been advised that power wptild .
not be restored for several hours.
Lyndi said that they, would make
an attempt to resdiedule the per- '
focmance at the ear&est possible
moment and advised that people
leave <|uietly, temaining m the
auditormm area of the building -
whidi hadAx>re emetgetKy fight­ing.
The concert has been re­scheduled
f(V June 7.
At thb point, several firemen
arrived in the auditorium of the
buildiog, appearing to check e i iu
and the backstage areas. Outside,
fire trucks were already strate­gically
located to provide fighting
and to fai^tate the traffic flow
