2012 LAMP
It is hard to believe that it is already 2012, the year of our graduation, and that it is time to present the Lamp to the Agnes Irwin community. The theme of the 2012 Lamp is “Together ‘til the End,” which is signified by the firework artwork throughout the book. The fireworks are a play off of the Mayan prophecy that the world will end in 2012. However, this is more than just a nod to an ancient superstition. We chose this theme because our grade has grown into mature, confident and intelligent young women. Many of us have been together since Kindergarten. In fact our grade has the most Super Survivors in Agnes Irwin’s recent history, at a count of 29, exactly half of our grade. It does not matter if we came in Kindergarten, 6th grade, or even 9th grade, The Class of 2012 has been like a second family to all of us. Whether it was dancing around the May Pole in Lower School, dressing up as medieval folk in Middle School, or cozying up with each other in the lounge eating cupcakes, watching Laguna Beach, we’ll always have these memories. And even though, when we graduate, we’ll move onto the next phase of our lives, we’ll still have the memories that we created and shared together. These memories will tie us together forever. So even if the world does end in 2012, we’ll be able to look back on our time at Irwin's and smile and say we made it, “Together ‘til the End.”
