If last night was any indication, perhaps a tradition was born. I, along with 300-500 parents and graduates were on the oval for the candle lighting ceremony. It was a simple but moving event. We heard from Dr. Gee, Archie and a student chosen to give the 2008 class address. We saw video highlights of the class's four years. Then, with the sounds of Orton Chimes in the background and the Oval lights dimmed, Dr. Gee and Archie each lit a candle, and the flame passed person to person until the entire 500 or so candles bathed the Oval in a soft warm glow. With that, the Glee Club led the group in the singing of Carmen Ohio.
