There was plenty of pomp and encomiums and, happily, no challenging circumstances or pandemicomiums to prevent the 90^th Rye High School Graduation Ceremony from proceeding as planned on June 19.  

The crowd was welcomed by Principal Dr. Martin Fitzgerald who turned the podium over to Superintendent Dr. Eric Byrne. 

The Latin orators described the journey of their class — its transitions, challenges, and triumphs — and shared indelible memories. 

Before students walked with heads held high to the podium to receive their diplomas, they listened to the senior oration by Ezekiel Meulbroek, the salutatory address by Alexis Francis, a musical interlude by the Scales Club, and the valedictory address by Elizabeth Fink. 

After mortar boards came down from the afternoon skies, families were heartened to gather with their graduates and friends linked arms, surely not for the last time.
