College Day

Walking down the hallway college guidance counselor Richard Harris adorned his own college sweatshirt. Rather than naming a specific university or college the sweatshirt was inscribed with “college.” 1 May was College Day. Along with Harris the graduating class of 2013 wore college sweatshirts and t-shirts. The schools ranged from the local University of Minnesota to the more distant Boston College, Wake Forest, Creighton, etc.  Though Minnehaha is filled with glee for it’s seniors there is always a happy-medium when seeing some one go off to face their future.
