Thinking about myself as a high school senior sent me to my yearbook to review the past in a way I hadn’t in quite a long time. Peering out of the pages were young women all wearing the same style sweater and necklace and young men wearing the same style...
Dear Seniors, The hairstyle in my senior photo (above) is the male counterpart, I guess, to the hairstyle that Karyn Neubauer included with her letter to all of you. I’m guessing that unlike Karyn, though, I stayed with that look longer than I should have. I rocked that look through college,...
Dear Class of 2020, If you had asked me, at 18, if I wanted to become a school librarian I would have laughed and looked at you like you were nuts. Who wants to go back to high school when everyone is so desperate to get out of it? Why would...
Dear Class of 2020, I join you this year in saying goodbye to Thetford Academy. Pandemic strangeness aside, I know that all of you will move forward to a new life that is largely unimaginable at this moment. What you make of it will be a mixture of your own doing...
