A CONVERSATION WITH OUR CURRENT YOUNGEST HOCKADAY STUDENTS MAGGIE AND ELLIE HURLEY (GRADUATING IN 2027) What is your favorite memory of being a student at Hockaday? Maggie – Lunch and snack. Ellie – Lunch and snack – M – And music! E – Music and recess! What do you do at recess? E – We go outside and play. We go on the slides and… M – Guess what I do? I run every lap and every block away from Ellie and she always captures me! E – And once when Mags was lining up, she was sad she couldn’t play with me and then our friend came up behind us and we ran as quickly as we can so she couldn’t take Mags away and get her lost. So then she could line up and get ready. What is your favorite memory? E – Art. I like painting all day. M – Then you’d have to take a bath!
