horizon as Chief Marshal Martha
Daniels be gar. the procession cariy,
with late arrivals hurrying to find
their places in line.
Emotions ran high as the 169
graduates shared their last moments
together as a class, seated in rows of
folding chairs on the football field, a
blur of navy blue caps and gowns
and white collars. Family and
friends watched from the bleachers

classmates to rethink their concept
of success as something more than
financial security or the carcer of
one's choice.
Out in the world of work, "we
