Reunion

Sandra wanted to attend her high school reunion, so we traveled to the Cleveland area in May.



Entrance to Laurel


She attended a private all-female high school, Laurel, for grades 10-12. It's a noted school, particularly for promoting women's excellence. The education is rigorous yet also helps young women achieve a sense of intellectual, emotional, and physical self-worth.

In many ways, the school has been a pioneering institution now and in the past.



Reminders of the Past

There were many events over the weekend, some related to the school; other events were held by alumni. The showcase was the alumni luncheon at the school.

Turning the Pages to Memories


After the luncheon, Sandra wanted to show me a little tour of school--the place is a maze! The campus is several separate buildings connected by walkways at all kinds of different levels, so I can see it taking some time to become accustomed to how to get around.

One of the most central rooms of the campus was and is the Chapel, a large auditorium. Here, many school activities are held. During Sandra's time, she had to give a speech before an assembly of the entire upper school in this room.
