Sixth Form Dinner Members of the Class of 2012 attended the seventh annual Sixth Form Dinner on May 18. They began their evening on Keyes Porch for “mocktails,” where they placed memorabilia in their class’s time capsule, which they will open at their fifth reunion in 2017. They then gathered for dinner in the dining hall. As part of the Young Alumni Challenge and Westminster’s ongoing effort to educate Sixth Formers about their new relationship with the school as alumni, several alumni attended the dinner including Colin Heffernan ’98, Abby Keeler Hord ’93, John Moorhead ’96, Ryan O’Donnell ’98 and Merrill McAlpin van den Broek ’85. Alumni faculty who attended included Lindsay O’Brien ’05, Newell Grant ’99, Tim Joncas ’00, David Pringle ’05, Nancy Urner Berry ’81 and Dave Werner ’80. Faculty member Dennis Daly was also in attendance. The featured speaker for the evening was departing faculty member Tim Quinn ’96, who spoke about the deep impact three faculty members — Dennis Daly, Michael Cervas and Todd Eckerson — have had on his life. At the conclusion of Tim’s remarks, Debbie Ribaudo, associate director of the Annual Fund, announced the 13 class agents for the Class of 2012 as Jay Attys, Ellie Baker, Natalie Biedron, Marquez Cummings, Atesha Gifford, Abby Huth, Cam Kurtz, Jake Medina, Meaghan O’Herron, Emmet Shipway, Patrick Spano, Will Stevens and Dillon Tiner.
Class of 2011 Returns for Cookout More than 35 members of the Class of 2011 returned to the Hill May 25 for the seventh annual “One Year Out” Cookout hosted by the Young Alumni Challenge. Immediately before the Lawn Ceremony, they gathered at Pratt House to enjoy the view of the Farmington Valley and reconnect with faculty. The class was a finalist in the 2012 Martlet Madness competition, achieving 41 percent participation in the 2011-2012 Annual Fund, and had a great turnout for the cookout.
