@Stephen SEAS valedictorian speech was HORRENDOUS. That was the kind of speech I expected from a middle schooler… and the references to brave new world, I got the impression he never read Huxley.
@t.r. Yeah, but if he’s valedictorian of SEAS the guy’s got to more than make up for his awful speech writing and speaking skills in engineering skills. We won’t be complaining when he designs the cell phones and computer chips whose inner workings no one in CC remotely understands. I’m calling it even with that guy.
@wack i think ‘whack’ is a lot cooler without the ‘h’ but either way that girl really sucked. it reminded me of high school graduation speeches but longer and more shrill
@McFister To the girl who said “I worked too damn hard for this” and then grabbed the mike and repeated her name after it was grossly mispronounced – you rule!
@umm hey bwog, why don’t you recognize barnard’s existence in your event calendar… we have a class day too. do you think your readers are just cc/seas? you even have two bc seniors in senior wisdom, but you don’t include graduation details?
