The Graduate



Peter has graduated from St. Paul Central High School. This fact has not yet been celebrated with the traditional graduation party, which will be next Saturday. Still, the big guy has officially graduated, and we're proud of him.



Urban high school graduations, or perhaps just graduations in general, can be raucous affairs. At Madeline's graduation I was struck by the lack of respect shown to the speakers. Perhaps I just had very low expectations, but Peter's graduation was much better. People did plenty of whooping when their child or friend got their diploma, but were pretty respectful of the speakers and the music. So it was fun all around to see Peter get his diploma.
