UPPER SCHOOL
Class of 2014 Graduates with Style! >> Tossing red roses in the air amid the cheers and applause, the Class of 2014 graduated on Saturday, June 7, on a picture-perfect day in the beautiful setting of Graduation Terrace. The ceremony opened with the traditional processional featuring faculty and administrators in their academic robes. The Invocation was delivered by Ellen Cowhey, a member of the History and Religion Department. Co-Presidents of the Senior Class, Olivia Lifflander and Bennett Saltzman, offered welcoming remarks.
Fairytale Evening for Audience at Into the Woods >> Audience members were drawn Into the Woods during performances of the Upper School Musical on February 28 and March 1. A stellar cast of student-actors created a whimsical melange of well-known fairytale characters joined through their journeys “Into the Woods.” Guests were riveted by these two wonderful evenings of theater on the Masters campus!
Great Gig in the Sky Brings Down the House >> This year’s Great Gig in the Sky brought down the house with Upper School students’ recreation of Fleetwood Mac's album, Rumours. More than 80 students were involved in making the album come alive, guided by “Artistic Shepherds” Gilles Pugatch, Vincent Galgano, Jeff Carnevale and Janie Wallace. Music, dance, lights... it was an amazing show of talent.
Head of School Maureen Fonseca introduced the Commencement speaker, Anthony Mason P’14, ’18, co-host of CBS This Morning: Saturday and CBS News’ Senior Business Correspondent. Mr. Mason has spent more than 30 years as a television journalist. In a quarter century as a correspondent for CBS News, he has reported from more than 30 countries and won nine Emmy Awards. Head of Upper School Matthew Ives presented the diplomas to the Class of 2014. John Comforto, the Class Dean, delivered the Benediction. The newlyminted alumnae/i marched out to the traditional recessional music, passing between the rows of faculty, to be greeted by cheers and warm hugs from family and friends. Seniors crossed Graduation Terrace to receive their diplomas from Head of School Matt Ives.
