The ceremonies were followed by an allschool
pep rally for varsity games in soccer, field
hockey and tennis that were held at Baldwin’s
Homecoming and Family Day on the following
day, Saturday, Oct. 18. Students and faculty enthusiastically
waved commemorative rally towels
issued especially for the occasion.
What makes Baldwin’s new athletic center
unique among the many new additions to local
campuses is its architecture, which is a metaphor
for tradition and today joining hands. How many
gymnasiums look like a Victorian Frank Furness
building and are eco-friendly at the same time?
