Graduation Day Press!

Below are some great newspaper photos from our graduation day. We had all hoped our graduation would be outside and as luck would have it was. As in years past, the Ridgewood graduation was unique - putting off the traditional academic gowns and hats in favor of long white gowns, bouquets of roses and white tuxedoes.

We would begin our long procession along our ivy-covered walls to the football field where we - one by one - were called to receive our diplomas. If I can ever figure out how to transfer a home movie I have of our graduation, I will post it!

The following clippings are thanks to Cindy Leather, Patti Crawford and Kathy Stella.
