When it comes to Hyde affairs such as award ceremonies…
proms…
and graduation ceremonies…
I have somehow assumed the role of roving photographer. Given that I cannot stand to sit still for any length of time, it works for me. This year was, well, different.
Although it had a bit of a “Do I wear a mask or Don’t I?” vibe, Baccalaureate kicked us off on the right note.
Then came the main event. Some members of the Class of ’21 participated via Zoom. Others were here in person. People were excited…
pensive…
giddy…
and planning right up to the last minute…
Then, enter the faculty.
Then came the graduates.
And before we knew it, it was over.
As always, it was a great day for families!
And if there ever was a group of Hyde faculty ready for a break, it would be the 2020-21 edition.
But wait, we still weren’t done. On the following day (Sun/5/23), members of the Class of 2020 were invited to return to the Sunken Garden and deliver the speeches that Covid prevented them from presenting a year ago. So, we gathered to hear five speakers. However, just when we were about to start, only four were in attendance. You could hear the whispers: “Where’s Uwe?” Then this figure came bounding toward us from the parking lot.
Suffice it to say that he was determined.
Let us begin.
Only at Hyde. Congrats, Classes of 2021 (and 2020), your families, and the faculty.
Onward, Malcolm Gauld
