The weather cooperated and promptly at 5:00 PM the celebration started. Celebration is a great word to use. It’s start of the journey into adulthood for this class. Some will get right to work, while others have been accepted into trade schools or such colleges as Rider, Harvard or even University of Tampa, for example.
As the walk started, students entered at the far end of the football stadium and walked along either side. When they got to the other end, where the stage was called, they got their diplomas and then had a seat. The chairs were arranged in the number “24”.
