alumni for a triumphant march down
Rectory Road, stopping every so often to
greet a familiar face. With Mr. and Mrs.
Matthews in attendance as onlookers, it
felt as if no time had passed at all.
Once at the Hockey Center, the Form
of 2009 stood still long enough to take a
picture together and assure all in attend-
ance that we are still “so fine.” A consid-
erable portion of the form then braved
the consistently inconsistent New Hamp-
shire weather, trekking first to the dam
and then the Senior Docks, despite the
intermittent rain. Others wandered around
campus, soaking up the familiar sights
and marveling at the changes that the
past five years have brought.
After a thrilling day of races that
ultimately ended in Halcyon victory, we
dispersed for dinner in Concord, dining
at Moritomo, Siam Orchid, Margaritas,
and the like as if we were back in high
school. But instead of returning to campus
for some poppy seed cake and board
games at the Rectory, the form met up at
Tandy’s Top Shelf to continue the day’s
revelry. A few members of the faculty
even joined us, which felt oddly thrilling,
despite the fact that we graduated five
years ago. After a change of location,
courtesy of the red school buses many of
us rode to away games or performances,
the Form of 2009 ended the evening at
the Day’s Inn, much the way we would
have at St. Paul’s – with Checkmate Pizza.
