This yearbook is dedicated in loving memory of
Griffin Metto "Griffin, please know how wonderful you are. You were undeniably a good person, one of those special, loving individuals that are so rare in life" -Shannon Kenney "Griffin left an indelible mark on those who knew him and loved him. Although he didn't mince words, he was considerate and /
compassionate" -Brett Ewer
"I saw - as his classmates
knew so well - that he was a great young man
II
-Professor Sandy Maisel
Peter Cronkite "We are better for having known him, and we're worse for having lost him." -Steven Buxbaum "[Do not] sit back and let this monster, and its kin, that took Pete from us have its day. We cannot fight and slay the beast that took Pete, but we can fight our own monsters and help our friends fight theirs." -Griffen Allen
"His life and the way it tied us together...will be present with us always. We lost a member of our family, but it is all that we gained from Peter that guides us forward." -President David Greene

As I've aid many time over the e pa t few weeks, this is honestly the nicest thing that' ever happened to me, maybe second only t.o the time my ummer camp counselor told me I was and I quote---=-\!ery good at taking orders."Or that time my doctor told me that my ankle are '\mu ually loo e."So this i a wonderful, wonderful thing, and I couldn't be more worked up, excited, and totally panicked to be up here. I really want to tart with some thank-yous. Everyone in the enior clas owe everyone here many thank-you . Thank first, of course, to Mom and Dad for everything. I owe you both o much-and in fact everybody here owes their mom and dad o much. Can we give it up for parent ? My dad told me he wa n't sure he wa going to be able to come today because he was so nervous about thi glad he was able to conquer his fears and be here today. Thank for coming, family.
peech, o I'm
I al o really want to thank the faculty of thi College, who have dragged us, pu hed us, carved paths for us throughout our four years here, and for that we owe them the ability to write, think, draw, dance, read, make science potions, you name it. Thank you all so much. I also really want to thank the raff of thi college-PPD, Sodexo, the staff in the Eusti Mail Room, and everyone who help make this place run. We have been unbelievably lucky to live in a place where we don't have to think about the food in our dining halls, the rugs of gra s on our lovely lawns-er the vomit on our walls. We re so lucky! I also would really like to say a very pecial welcome to Mr. Robert Redford, who's here to address u , which i very excitmg. I'm glad the clas has chosen us to peak at the same event. It really feel like we're the perfect pairing, as many of our accomplishments align so clo ely. For example: Mr. Redford has starred in way over fifty feature-length films, and I, a you of course all know, played the title role in The Little Red Hen in the second grade. In addition, Mr. Redford founded the famou Sundance Film Fe tival and the Sundance Institute, two incredible institution for independent filmmakers, and here at Colby I'm a founding member of the cribbage club, which meet in the pub on Tue days and really doe amazing work for stretching the weekend from Tuesday all the way to Sunday. Mr. Redford is al o widely considered one of the mo t handsome men in the world, and one time someone told me I look better in a baseball cap. Also, the other day a fre hman called me 'hia'am"when I was working in the po t office, so I'm clearly aging gracefully. So, as I've said, we're clearly well matched to speak to you together today. We're the ab olute natural pairing, and we 're the best of friend . Which is a real perk. But, putting my bud Rob a ide for a minute, I ju t wanted to preface this all by saying that I think the concept of a senior cla s speaker is a little trange in some ways, becau e, let' be hone t, what on earth could I have to say that is in any way wise? I'm ure no one put me up here for my wisdom. So I can only conclude that I've been asked to peak because we want omeone to reflect on our collective experience. Of course that, too, is absurd because who am I to reflect on the entire experience of five hundred people? It' impos ible. So I'm left with, ba ically, reflecting on my own experience, which I have to ay ha been exhilarating, exhausting, informative, and really uch a gift. How lucky have I been to be able to walk this campus, live here, learn here, meet people that I've been ob es ed with for four year and will continue to be obses ed with for the rest of my life. Some of you don't know thi , but I have a group I made on my Facebook called ''Stalkable,"and I've put a pretty good number of you on that Ii t. Just FYI. Plea e feel free to approach me following thi speech to let me know if you would like to be added to the list. Unfo1tunately I cannot approve anyone's removal. I need you on there for my per onal u e. With that confes ion, I want to start by telling you all a story about my very fir t interaction with Colby. I wa maybe even of '80, had brought my brother, who' Cla of 2017, and me to a football game. We were
year old, and my dad, who' Cla
walking around the track during the game, and for ome rea on my brother had gotten some hard candy from omewhere. He wa notoriou ly bad with hard candy, and o he of course tarted choking on it. And as I remember it, my brother was uddenly warmed by all the e doctor . And I remember them ticking all these tubes and uction cup in hi throat and none of it was working, and I wa thinking: 'Thi i terrible! The doctor can't save him! 'Finally my Dad pulled all the tubes out of his throat and ju t stuck his finger in there and dug the candy out and it was all fine. But I was till shocked and in awe that the doctors couldn't ave him. And then it wa ju t thi year that I had the realization that tho e 'tloctors?"They were just-t!S. They were Colby student who took a cla s on EMT training and were ab olutely doing their be t, but ultimately they didn't really know anything. None of us doe ! And that really feels like what' happening here at graduation. I'm leaving ju t when I've figured out that I don't know anything. I' e actually never been more aware of how little I know, and that's kind of beautiful. A lot of adult have been aying to me lately, Millennial , they ju t go out in the world and they don't know anything. They're all texting and FaceTiming and taking creenshots of their bitcoins."And I was thinking about that, and I just want to say to all
tho e Generation Xer : 'Yeah, we don't know anything. And it' awesome."Oh my gosh, how exciting i it that we don t know anything. It
honestly the best po
ible outcome of thi whole graduation thing. We get to go forth knowing ab olutely nothing
and being totally okay with it, with that being totally the whole point. We re young and tupid and don't know anything about
the real world and it' going to be the be t. We're going to figure it out. And I know thi because, although tho e EMTs might not ha e known exactly what they were doing, they were brave enough to try. We'll figure it out, becau e I'm pretty ure no one. not even most adult , know exactly what they're doing. But with a little Colby-in tilled gut , we're going to try and make it work. I can't wait to learn to tr
to do m
truce , or learn how to talk about budgets and financial
future and family planning, and learn to cro
a bu y city treet without the afety net of
twenty-five speed bump . I'm o excited to go apply for work in the paper mill, or use the word tommute''with regularity. Don t get me wrong. Colby has given us a many tool as it can, but really it' given u the tool to figure out how to learn all the stuff they can t teach us here. Colby ha prepared u to be brave facing the e thing we don't know, whether it hard candy from my brother' throat or learning what a W-2 form i . And that
di lodging
pretty cool, and
I'm very grateful for that. The other thing that And not nece
o hard about graduation i that I ju t realized I really, really like chool.
arily in term of home
ork and paper , which I can ometime trick my elf into
liking too-I-ju t like the ae thetic of chool. I like the weird new wood mell on the third floor of Miller Library and the way that hundred of u are u ing three floor of a library and no one' doing anything crazy. Hone tly, that fact ha alway blown my mind. When we are all working in the library, there i no adult for mile . There' nobody in charge of u . Wh wall
eating noi ily,
are we not creaming, panicking throwing thing , making out, punching
Jeeping in tudy arre1 ? Why? Why not? We re ju t itting there diligently learning. No one told u to,
and that al o i pretty beautiful.
I al o love the way the gra
i laid out like a beautiful carpet for u to u e and enjoy-someone bought gra
look like thi today. The snow literally ju t melted le
carpets to make it
than a month ago, and we have green grass at Colby. It' incredible. I
love it! I al o love the mell of the Eu ti ba ement and e pecially the way the apartment hallway
mell like cru hed pla ter and
good time . And I'm al o fru trated by graduation, becau e I feel like I ju t figured out how to do thing here. For example, I just figured out where the athletics center i . I till ha en't been, but. I ju t figured out that you're uppo ed to return
our item to the Outing
Club, I ju t learned how to make a PowerPoint pre entation, I just learned how to talk my way out of a parking ticket, how to get on the roof of Runnal . I just learned how to write a entence, ba ically. And I'm ju t tanding up here, looking out at all of you, realizing I ju t feel confident enough, right now, to approach each of you and ay, Hey, classmate. Let' be friend . I think you're pretty cool. ' But I gue s that' the thing. A
oon a you re too comfortable, they make you leave. And that' the way it hould be and that'
what' happening here. We've learned a whole lot and we don't know anything. And that Thank you Class of 2015. Thi ha been a true honor, and I love you. Thank you!
good. And I'm excited.
2015 Commencement Speaker Robert Redford Honorary Degree Recipient
Thank you, pre ident, faculty, staff, board. So I guess, some of you are probably aying, 'Why is he here?" Well, I'll tell you. I'm here because of my respect for this school and for what it's accomplished, what it represents, and also because it has such a diversity about its makeup. So I'm here to celebrate the school and also, you know, full disclosure, I have a grandson who's graduating with you all.
So basically, as well as being here because I've been honored, I want to celebrate the value of education and the value of teachers. I learned that in kind of a hard way when I was growing up as a kid in Los Angele . I didn't know it then, but the school system was pretty poor, becau e we had sub titute teachers. It was the end of the Second World War, and so I didn't know that the teachers were ub titute teachers. It left me uninspired, it left me more interested in what was out the window and sketching underneath the table, things like that, because I didn't realize that the real teachers weren't coming back yet. So I wa not a good student, but I learned a valuable lesson about what a really good teacher can do. It only takes maybe two or three in your academic lifetime to make a difference, and I had one in the third grade. I'll share that story with you. I was not paying attention. I was doing something that I felt was more intere ting to me. I loved to draw, and I loved to draw stories for myself and entertain myself. It was kind of like having a companion. So I was caught, by the teacher in the third grade, underneath the table. She said, 'What's so important there? What's more impo1tant than our lesson here today to you? Do you want to come up and show the class what's more important than what we're trying to talk about here?" And I thought, 'Oh, God. I'm toast. She's going to bum me, and it's going to work, and the kids are going to laugh, and I'm going to feel like hell, and I will shrink."Instead, when I came up, I held up the drawing. She said, 'Do you want to talk about it?"I said, 'Well, yeah. What this i ? Thi is some cowboys cha ing some Indians over a cliff. Cowboys are shooting bullets at the Indians, and the Indians are shooting arrows back at the cowboys. And B-51 bombers are bombing the cowboys." So what happened was, the class re ponded to it. They liked it, and the teacher saw that. And at that moment, rather than burning me she aid, '1 tell you what. What we're going to do is we're going to put an easel up here every Wednesday and give you fifteen minutes and some newsprint paper and let you come up and draw a story for us. But then you have to promise to pay attention the rest of the time."Had she not made that move, my life could have gone in a different direction. But that's just an example of how a teacher can maybe affect your life, and it certainly changed mine and certainly for the better. So obviously I'm here to celebrate the value of teachers, but I'm also not going to tell you what to do. I mean, I'm not qualified for that, but what I can do i maybe put the focus on the word hope. Hope: they ay it prings eternal in every human breast, but does it? When we look around, and we think about what you're going to be tepping into, using that word hope, after you leave the chool where you've had the security and the comfort of the chool itself, of friends-when you step out of that, you're stepping into a world that' , well, pretty rough. It' pretty
chaotic, pretty divisive. You 've got c l im ate change, you ve got debt, you 've got wars , you ve got pol itical paralysi . But that tory--it s kind of a grim story-but the tory I think can be retold and I really be lie e that you 're the one to do it. You 're the ones to rete l l the story. God knows it i
a tory that need to be retold. If we 're going to
have any k ind of future at a l l , it ha to be retold. So here we are at a j unction, and I see it for you all in a very po itive way, because you have the tool . Thi the history. The hi tory of thi s
school ha provided you w ith the too l s , and i t 's provided you w ith
chool and the tool s it
provided you with certainly enable you to go out in the
world and make a difference. What we 're needing a l so is another word that 's mi sing, and that's collaboration. Col l aboration that connects you not onl y to each other but al so to the p l anet. So it'
the collaboration between you and the pl anet-it connect you to
the planet rather than plans to lowly destroy the pl anet through unwanted development, out-of-control development, short-term think ing hands. So in tead of divisivene
hort-term narrow-minded pol itical thinking. A l l this can change. It
in your
, in tead of chao and so forth, instead of the ideology that ome people are stuck
with-there ' no abi l ity right now i t eems for opposing tubbom ideology about what ' right , and it
ide to come together-they're
the only right, the only right i
ticking to their own
the right that they proc laim. Rather
than opening up and l i stening to the other s i de and saying · Let 's see what they have to ay, let' talk about thi s , let 's kind of come together. You know, there i compromise and that' pol itics. It'
a word cal led
upposed to be the definition of
s upposed to be the definition of our pol itical
leaders, the art of compromi se. Wel l we don 't ee it. So obviou ly omething ha to change, and I think that
ou 're
the ones to do it. And I thi nk , when you ha e that kind of talemate, there i
an inherent l o
of opportunity
opportunity to take soc ial issue and take the oc ial fabric of this country and move it forward and ha e it be forward thinking rather than s low thinking, rather than narrow thinking. So you have that abi l ity-th i
chool has, I think,
garnered that ab i l ity for you. B ut talking about coming together, let me j u t hare with you quickly a tory about coming together and how aluable it can be and the fact that we don 't appear to have it right now, thi coming together. Year ago I had made this film, back in year later and
1 974 or 5, about the Watergate ituation. Year later a televi ion channel came to me, about thirty
aid we 'd l ike to look back and have you maybe do a revi it of Watergate. I
things you leave alone. You don t changed so much since. That wa
aid, no. No, some
it on them, you mo e on. That wa then. Time have changed. Time have a time when I was feel ing l ike I wa making a contribution to the celebration of
the val ue of joumal i m, but it seemed that with all the changes that have occurred with the Internet and o forth and sound bites . . . people talking their brain out and you re not hearing anything, that what was the point? And then I thought, wait a m i nute maybe it c an be looked at l ike a museum piece l ike a moment in time that
gone. Maybe
we can l ook back on it and reflect on it and think about it. Wel l whi le I was looking at the footage to edit the f i l m , there w a s a moment that kind of tunned m e . In the archival footage w e have John Dean te tifying before the Watergate hearing committee, and the committee wa made up of both s i des of the ai le, Republ ican and Democrats. What really stunned me wa how this panel wa working together to get to the truth. I thought 'Wow, there was a time. So it's t i l l possible. It can be revived. Again, I think I m putting i t i n your hands-sorry about that, �ut I think I 'm putting it in your hands. So having said that, I think finally I would only hare the fol lowing things with you. As you go forward think about some word to carry with you. One i the road, but for me it
'Be bold.' Don't fear fail ure, because a lot of peop le think fail ure ' the end of
not. It s a tep along the road. Don t be afraid to take ri k , becau e that 's what move you
forward. You may have some heartaches , thing may not go right but
ou have to be u s ing method to keep moving
you forward. I think taking a ri k i s one. I think not taking a risk in fact i s a ri k. So don 't be afraid to take a ri k. Don t be afraid of failure. Be bold. . . .I wi h you all the best. Thank you.
