The excitement of Commencement Weekend could be felt across Trinity-Pawling’s campus. In just twenty-four hours, the seniors would put on their blue blazers and sit alongside each other in All Saints’ Chapel one last time, looking back on their year of accomplishments and ahead at their next adventures.
Before taking their seats on the Quad for graduation rehearsal, we chatted with several members of the Class of 2018, asking them perhaps the toughest question they’ve faced all year: what will they miss the most when they leave Trinity-Pawling? Here’s what we learned:
- Reading the weekly publication of The Phoenix;
- Eating the Fruit Loop cereal in Scully Hall…for breakfast, lunch, or dessert;
- Learning of a Headmaster’s Holiday and enjoying the unexpected day off;
- Watching or playing in the Rock Concert and seeing the talents of the whole community;
- Learning from a fun and welcoming faculty, who made even the not-so-interesting subjects enjoyable;
- Playing Intramural Softball in the spring (and beating the Faculty team!);
- Spending time with the faculty dogs;
- Building bonds on the fields, courts, rink, or in the locker rooms;
- Enjoying life in the dorms, playing videogames and relaxing with the boys;
- Being a part of a community that feels like a family.
Congratulations to the Class of 2018! We know you will continue to leave your mark on the world, just as you left it on Trinity-Pawling School. Onward!
