Roommates!

Students line up along the sides of Chapel Drive in preparation to enter the Chapel of the Resurrection for baccalaureate. Steven Wilco is profiled to one side of center. The sky and Steven's cords have been turned artificially red.

Red sky. Faculty on the move. These are surely signs of the apocalypse. (Okay, I was just having fun with the GIMP.)

~17 yrs. of school have made us very good at lining up

As seen from the choir loft, students take their seats at the front of the Chapel of the Resurrection for baccalaureate. The heads of Kantorians obscure the bottom of the picture.

Students take their places for baccalaureate. Yes, I took pictures during a worship service.

At about 12:30, people line up to get into the Athletics and Recreation Center (ARC) for commencement. Not pictured: The Thomas-James bunch and Sancken bunch at the front of the line.

The long line to get into commencement. Having taken my advice, the Thomas-James clan got to the ARC way too early and, as a result, leads the pack.
