The Episcopal class of 2007 was standing on the steps behind the chapel waiting for the class graduation photo to be taken and it was a hot humid day. The students were sweating, the photographer was sweating, the teachers were sweating. One student was missing but that was not the holdup. The students didn't know what they were waiting for, they just knew it was hot and the girls makeup was running. The boys were in jackets and ties, they were hot. Nicole Spagnola, daughter of former Eagle John Spagnola appeared with a roll of paper towels and soon the paper towels spiraled accross the student body. The photographer frowned, there went his picture. Then the sun came out.
Upper school headmaster Geoffrey Way, followed by a film crew, appeared with a bullhorn and an announcement- The after graduation dinner was to be filmed by the food newtork for a show called"Dinner Impossible"
The students said "Take the picture!"
Some grumbling.. the photographer arranged everyone again. Wait we have to get the crumbled up paper towels picked up.
The photo was snapped, and everyone headed for the shade. It was still 20 minutes until they could get into the air conditioning but at least they could relax.
*Look for more photos from graduation in Main Line Life this week*
