COMMENCEMENT 2010
The School’s highest awards were presented during Commencement; both the Prize for Scholarship, for the most outstanding student, and the Beatrice Hurlburt Memorial Prize, for character and influence, were awarded to Ariella Freund, a member of the Big 7, Walker’s student government organization. Diplomas were awarded by Dean of Upper and Middle Schools Wendy Allerton alongside Bessie Speers and President of Walker’s Board of Trustees David Castellani. Bessie Speers, in her charge to the class, reinforced her belief in this exceptional group of young women, expressing her confidence that they “will help in transforming and inspiring the world.” The recessional was highlighted, as is tradition, by faculty lining each side of the red carpet to applaud the graduates as they emerged from the tent to a cacophony of cheers and applause. Following a morning that threatened storms, the sun had come out. The sun, as well as these Walker’s graduates, had emerged. Congratulations, Walker’s Class of 2010!
