14 Even though we were driven indoors by the impending rain, student speaker Kyle Seid ’11 set the tone for what, as Head of School David Felsen reminded us, was a beautiful celebration of the graduating seniors. The ceremony began with Felsen honoring Ann Satterthwaite for her seven years of service as the Clerk of the Board of Trustees. Alexis Lewis ’11 was the first student speaker, and she shared a wistful message about the importance of the journey. Her speech was filled with stories from Lower School and an overwhelming excitement for the future. “In order to continue on our next journey we must take our past with us as we move on in life,” she said. “Wherever we may find ourselves, we must always hold true to what shaped our past, acknowledge and appreciate what we are today, and dare to be all that we can be tomorrow!” Seid then reminded us that what makes the FCS community such a dynamic force is that we celebrate our differences. “Much of what we focus on at Friends’ Central is the strength and identity of our community,” he said. “Embracing, championing, and fostering individualism is conducive to a better community, or at the very least one I would prefer. By celebrating your individualism and encouraging each other to do great things, you will continue to make our community here and every community you choose to be part of going forward stronger for it.” Student speakers Kyle Seid ’11 and Alexis Lewis ’11 brought tears and laughter to the commencement audience. Jim Davis (top) and David Felsen shared inspiring words at the ceremony. The combination of their speeches left the crowd in tears of joy then laughter, then both. These students were followed by commencement speaker, Jim Davis, who retired after 39 years of service as the choral director. Throughout his life, Davis explained that one must recognize the difference between what is noise and what Guiseppi Verdi calls your himmel, your liebe, and your lied (your heaven, your love, and your song). We congratulate our graduates on their success at Friends’ Central, and wish them the best as they head off toward future journeys. We know they will carry a little FCS in their hearts wherever they go, knowing they are always welcome here.
