For the second year in a row, we were unable to gather together in Swanson Gymnasium for our annual Class Night, an evening of celebration for the academic, athletic, and leadership accomplishments from the school year. Nevertheless, the outstanding achievements from a memorable 99th year of Blue & White athletics are worthy of recognition.
