as Ben got his robe 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130056
</PHOTO>
and wore it by the infamous first day of school tree before heading to the precession prep.

</PHOTO>
Meanwhile I collected Jane from the train and we came back to get Sarah, Suzanne and Ed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130058
</PHOTO>
and we headed to the main event where the seats had been arranged
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130059
</PHOTO>
though Sarah and Ed were forced to sit in the bleachers
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130060
</PHOTO>
as we sat in the main section and Jane and Suzanne posed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130061
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130062
</PHOTO>
as we greeted the Manleys who were 2 rows behind
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130063
</PHOTO>
and Mark Little in the distance
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130064
</PHOTO>
and saw Dave Davis and Bo Honore from afar
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130065
</PHOTO>
as the procession left the school
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130066
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130067
</PHOTO>
much to the amusement of Suzanne and Jane
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130068
</PHOTO>
and the first students (Gautier here) marched down the aisle
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130069
</PHOTO>
as anticipation grew
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130070
</PHOTO>
until Ben came past
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130071
</PHOTO>
after which Sarah and Ed joined our section
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130072
</PHOTO>
having been led there by Seva
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130073
</PHOTO>
who wondered if her sons would be able to sing the alma mater
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130074
</PHOTO>
as Ofry Shatzky, the class president, spoke
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130075
</PHOTO>
and I recorded the program
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130076
</PHOTO>
even as Around Eight sang their first number (which came across as a bit of a dirge)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130077
</PHOTO>
and then the student speakers led by Handy Pierre
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130078
</PHOTO>
who reminded me that I had to record the program
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130079
</PHOTO>
before he was followed by Sadik Shahidain
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130080
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130081
</PHOTO>
who took a few shots to come in clearly
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130082
</PHOTO>
and then Lucy Fleming spoke and sang
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130083
</PHOTO>
and I recorded the entry wristband for completeness of experience
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130084
</PHOTO>
as principal Gary Snyder
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130085
</PHOTO>
and superintendent Judy Wilson spoke
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130086
</PHOTO>
as the students began to get on stage to complete diplomas
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130087
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130088
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130089
</PHOTO>
until we saw Ben in the line
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130090
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130091
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130092
</PHOTO>
though he was obscured
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130093
</PHOTO>
as students made their way across the stage
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130094
</PHOTO>
and so it was Ben's turn as he greeted Snyder
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130095
</PHOTO>
and made his way off stage
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130096
</PHOTO>
as the ceremony continued
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130097
</PHOTO>
and he found his way back to his seat
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130098
</PHOTO>
before Andy Ie got his diploma
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130099
</PHOTO>
in a blur
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130100
</PHOTO>
and the procession continued from the other side
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130101
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130102
</PHOTO>
before Joel Straus got his diploma
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130103
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130104
</PHOTO>
followed by Ben Strauss (note the extra s)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130105
</PHOTO>
and as the ceremony ended I noticed a hawk on the tower
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130106
</PHOTO>
as the students made their way out
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130107
</PHOTO>
heading towards an assembly by the door as the assembled made their way in a similar direction
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130108
</PHOTO>
while Jane carried the celebratory balloons
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130109
</PHOTO>
and the assembled graduates celebrated
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130110
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130111
</PHOTO>
until hats were thrown
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130112
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130113
</PHOTO>
with some landing high above
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130114
</PHOTO>
as the celebration continued.
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130115
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130116
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130117
</PHOTO>
Meanwhile we ran into Lisa Kreuger, math teacher of excellence, 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130118
</PHOTO>
and Lisa and Suzanne posed
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130119
</PHOTO>
before we made our way to congratulate the graduate
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130120
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130121
</PHOTO>
and Jane, Ed and Sarah studied the pictured they had taken
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130122
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130123
</PHOTO>
as Suzanne tried to add to the collection
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130124
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130125
</PHOTO>
and this might be what she saw
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130126
</PHOTO>
before our photo was taken
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130127
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130128
</PHOTO>
and then Suzanne was recorded
<PHOTO>

</PHOTO>
as Jane went off to speak with Alex Tank and Stu Blair
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130130
</PHOTO>
and we found Ben who posed with Suzanne
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130132

../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130137
</PHOTO>
and we recorded his diploma
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130138
</PHOTO>
and the job offer he had received as he marched
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130139
</PHOTO>
Next, Ben and Jane hugged
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130140

</PHOTO>
and were soon joined by me
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130145
</PHOTO>
though it took some organizing
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130146
</PHOTO>
before we could pose for these family photos

<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130187
</PHOTO>
and as the event emptied,
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130188
</PHOTO>
we reached the car and headed to Metro North where the Kramers greeted Ben
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2012/06.18.12BensGraduation//P1130189

which amused the Justs
<PHOTO>
