4 Cardinal Spellman • tradition happening on the hill 2012 Commencement Ceremony marked the first time the new graduates formally shared Potvin Field with a group of Spellman alumni Graduation caps flew through the air as the school song came to an end and 174 members of the 2012 graduating class celebrated the end of their high school careers. Cardinal Spellman’s 2012 Commencement marked the first time the new graduates formally shared Potvin Field with a group of Spellman alumni. The class of 2012 was not the only class to receive a diploma on this day. The class of 1962 returned to receive their Golden Diploma and celebrate 50 years since they walked the halls of Spellman as students. Cardinal Spellman President Dr. John McEwan was eager to point out how much time had passed since the class of ‘62 left Spellman. “Fifty years is a long time,” he said. “Fifty years ago, the members of the Class of 1962 were the first to graduate from Cardinal Spellman. The world was very different then. A gallon of gas was $0.25; the av- erage family income was $6,000 a year and tuition at Cardinal Spellman was going to go up to $200.” “Welcome back members of the Class of 1962 and I hope and pray that many of you in the Class of 2012, like this class, will one day return with pride and nostalgia to your alma mater in the year 2062. I truly believe that some of your greatest memories, toughest life lessons, best friends and most challenging moments take place in the four years that you are in high school. How fortunate that so many of us have shared those same experiences at Cardinal Spellman High School: a place where the values and legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the examples and lessons of so many great teachers helped to mold all of us into who we are today.” By the end of the ceremony, there were mixed emotions for most students. There was happiness and excitement to be moving on to new things in life, but there was also some apprehension. This was the last day as students of Cardinal Spellman and they were embarking on a new unfamiliar journey. As the students celebrated, several members of the class of 2012 hugged their friends, parents, and teachers with the words of Cardinal Spellman Principal Dorothy Lynch likely still on their minds. “Seniors, as graduates you join the company of Spellman alumni and you share with them the responsibility of helping to ensure that the tradition of Spellman will continue for many years to come,” she said. “You have spent your last four years, sharing your gifts and talents, while indeed maximizing your potential in the areas of academics, extracurricular involvement and faith development. You have grown into mature young men and women who have learned to serve your school, your community and even beyond. You have become God’s ministers. Continue to be God’s servants after you leave Spellman.” Cardinal Spellman’s 2012 Valedictorian and Salutatorian Elaine Hanby, of East Bridgewater, is the 2012 Cardinal Spellman High School Valedictorian. Hanby is no stranger to being on stage. She danced at the Capachione School of Performing Arts throughout high school. She is also a member of the bell choir and youth group at The Union Congregational Church in East Bridgewater. During her time at Spellman she was a member of the Academic Decathlon Team and National Honor Society. Hanby plans to follow in her mother’s footsteps and attend the University of Alabama. She will study biology after being accepted into the Honors College. In addi-
tion to taking honors classes and living in honors housing, being a member of the Honors College will give her further community service opportunities. Laura Hill, of Bridgewater, is the salutatorian. During her time at Spellman, Hill was a member of National Honor Society for three years and a four-year-starter for the varsity tennis team.
