If Your Wipers Were Up, That Was Sean

Hingham High School students remember the loss of Sean Ryan.

With the flag flying at half-mast and every pair of windshield wipers in the parking lot up, remembered Sean Ryan Monday afternoon.

Three students held signs that read, “If your wipers were up that was Sean.”

In the student parking lot, one student held Ryan’s football jersey, number 65.
