The two practiced but on their wedding day their choreography unraveled as they realized there wasn’t enough room for all the moves they wanted to do.

With that, the crowd went wild,” the Times reported.... Jackie Olson and Jesus Zubiate were married April 5, 2013.... Emily Poole and Jeff Bates

Starting Them Young Learning about Bates, one image at a time Sarah Rorimer ’03 teaches first grade at P.S. 33 Chelsea Prep in Manhattan, and for the school’s college fair she created this Bates display using pages from old college calendars and other publications, including Bates Magazine. “All of the students in the school, grades K–5, had a chance to browse colleges by attending the poster session,” Rorimer explains. “Teachers dressed in their college sweatshirts, and students took notes on clipboards and collected information. Who knows what kind of an impact this will have on the future Class of 2028!” A Russian major and music minor at Bates, Rorimer taught English in Russia after graduation, then earned a master’s at Hunter College in teaching English to speakers of other languages. — hjb
