The Class of 2008 receives last-minute reminders and instructions...

... before quietly proceeding along the back hallway toward the stage area.

Seniors wait in the side stage area  for classmates in front of them to find their seats.

With only a few minutes to spare, all 269 soon-to-be-graduates are seated and ready to go.
The curtains part precisely at 8 p.m., beginning Jesuit’s 161st Commencement Exercises.
