Class of
2012 Here are some snapshots of some of the most memorable moments from senior year. From painting the spirit rock to their final time together at Gibbons at the annual Senior Luncheon, this year’s graduates will take their Gibbons experience with them as they go to colleges all over the country. The Class of 2012 is the only class that celebrated both the 100-year anniversary of Cardinal Gibbons High School in 2009 and also the groundbreaking for the new arts/athletics and academic wings that are scheduled to be finished by fall of 2013. Baccalaureate Mass was Friday, May 25, and graduation was Sunday, May 27. See page 2 for photo captions. Turn to page 7 to see the Class of 2012 Senior Section.

The Class of 2012 shared one final meal together in the gym after a presentation in the theater. The senior gift was also unveiled.
On a day filled with emotion, the Class of 2012 enjoyed their last time together on campus as Gibbons students at the annual Senior Luncheon on Friday, May 18. Seniors shared their high school memories and experiences with each other, and looked back on their four years at Gibbons with bittersweet feelings before they graduate today, Sunday, May 27. “The senior luncheon was fun because we got to spend time together as a class before we all graduate and go off to college,” said senior Carolyn Albright. “I’m so glad we got to be together to watch the slideshow and remember all the wonderful times we’ve had together as a class at Gibbons. I’ll never forget my classmates and all the exciting things we did, and I’ll definitely miss it,” said senior Lauren Willoughby. Seniors reflected on their final year at Gibbons and what made it special for each of them. “What made my senior year special was just spending it with people who
make me laugh and cry,” said senior Maggie Tardif. “I think what made this year special was the people. Great teachers, great friends, and a great year,” said senior John Capetanos. “The most exciting thing this year was winning the nine state championships, especially the four in just four hours,” said senior KJ Bruno. “This last year with my classmates has been really special. I’m lucky to have had so many great times at Gibbons, and will carry the memories with me for the rest of my life,” said senior Madison Bugg. “My senior year was special because it was my last time walking the halls as a student, but maybe sometime in the future I will walk them again as a teacher,” said senior Kevin Steele. The class met in the theater for a presentation from Col. Craig Drescher, a video describing the senior gift and the viewing of the traditional slideshow of photos from the past four years before moving to the gym for the lunch and the presentation of the senior gift. Parents of the soon-to-be graduates helped organize and set up the gym for the event, and prepared the food that was served.
