Eighth Grade Class Become Freshmen
Girls wore the traditional pastel dresses and carried bouquets, boys their blue blazers with boutonnieres. They gathered in the Chapel with family and friends to receive their diplomas and an individual plaque with personal inscriptions from their teachers. They left with the Gaelic blessing, below, invoked by Brother Edward, Director of Academic Services.
“I am not made or unmade by the things that happen to me but by my reactions to them” (Advice that most helped him survive his own eighth grade year.) Russell Shaw
Dean of Students Graduation Speaker
“Remember the big sign, ‘YET’ in Mr. Trudelle’s room...it gives you two ways to end a sentence. ‘I just can’t do this YET, or, I just can’t do this, YET I really want to.”
Taylor Eigsti
Valedictorian
...Above all, these youngsters care about others and I predict that they will be leaders in their high school service projects. They have so much to offer each other and the world...”
Marianne Stoner
Director of the Middle School
“You will probably receive many tangible gifts...but cherish most those intangible gifts that you have learned about here at the Priory - integrity, community, individuality, spirituality.
TimMolak Headmaster
“May the road rise to meet them, May the wind be always at their backs, May the sun shine warm upon their faces, May the rains fall softly upon their fields, And may these graduates always be held in the hollow of God’s hands all the days of their lives.”
Brother Edward Englund Director of Academic Services
