Laura's Graduation Party

Nancy organized a terrific graduation party for Laura:


The grandfathers and Haylee:

Donna and Haylee:

Below are Pager, five of his grandchildren, and Haylee. (Do you think Haylee was popular??) All of Pager's nine grandchildren graduated from Lamoille Union High School (Laura was the last), and four were salutatorians. Pager was valedictorian of his class 77 years ago—Cambridge High School, Class of 1931. But the class size was different—16, I think. Someone said there were 165 students in Laura's class; I counted 145 in the graduation program.

Laura, you are one of the youngest in your class at 17. Pager was only 16 when he graduated from high school.

Here is Laura with her grandparents:

Susan and Kelly drove over from Maine and back the same day. Kelly is a Spanish teacher and I think Camila's parents enjoyed finding someone who could converse with them in Spanish. (Fortunately for the rest of us, their English is very good.)

Anna and Jackson came, too. Laura babysits them often. Here they are climbing in our maple tree in the backyard:

The cake says it all!
