Commencement 2010 was completed in sunny, dry conditions on Farrell Field. First, however, we go back to Senior Dinner, which packed the fieldhouse with close to a thousand friends of the class.

 

The audio-visual production of Senior Dinner and Commencement is over-the-top professionally, with a behind-the-scenes technical team communicating constantly with a camera crew.

 

Here's Mike welcoming the throng.


 

Entertainment at each event was provided by student vocal and instrumental ensembles.

 

Both the dinner and graduation exercises were live streamed to hundreds who could not be present. These shows are available for your enjoyment online: Senior Dinner and Commencement.

Saturday morning at 10:30 sharp, seniors marched from Alice's Garden into the immense tent on Farrell Field.

 



Proud parents, grandparents, siblings and friends honored the class with a rousing ovation.




This year's Commencement was notable for the superior addresses delivered by student speakers. Each speech was thoughtful, loving and very well constructed. Also notable was the emotional, final performance of Proctor's longest-lasting band, Pillbug Light Reaction.


 

The presentation of diplomas was expedited by Dean of Faculty Karl's Methven's recitation of names, and suddenly, it was over.

 

We spilled out into the sunlight to celebrate.

 




Congratulations to the Class of 2010 and their families! We'll see you in June, 2015 (if not sooner!)
