These Are Days

The 10,000 Maniacs song was our farewell song.  The picture below brings back fond memories of that special day.  Including my major dilemma...a quest to find a "cool" pair of white shoes to pair with our traditional white dresses.  Not an easy task, I might add.  Funny the things you remember...here's to SMC!  The tradition continues!
 
News & Observer columnist Lori Wiggins wrote an article in the N&O on graduation morning about Saint Mary’s commencement, “The pomp and circumstance features traditions that define the school’s history and keep alumnae close.”

“Graduation has vestiges of tradition no other ceremony has,” said Theo Coonrod. “It’s the celebration of the feminine spirit. It’s about honoring and celebrating.”

Oh, I almost forgot...while, in general, I don't love white shoes...I can hardly wait to scuff up a new pair of white sneakers.  If I had to choose a pair today, they would more than likely be something like these pretty rockin' Christian Louboutin mary janes...
