The Lawn Ceremony
This year’s Lawn Ceremony took place May 8, rather than the night before commencement. Attendance was limited to members of the Fifth and Sixth forms, and the event was livestreamed to others. As in previous years, enthusiasm was palpable for this longtime Westminster tradition. Members of the Sixth Form escorted members of the Fifth Form onto the lawn one by one and led faculty members Tony Griffith, David Chrzanowski and Mary Pat Gritzmacher onto the lawn as honorary alumni faculty. Lastly, the Prefect Board pulled on members of next year’s Prefect Board: Priscilla Ameyaw, Sung Min Cho, Margot Douglass, Daniel Lurie, Jamai Miller, Shelby Oken, Kellen Seeley, Sawyer von Jess, Benno Wurts, Christian Yalda and Janessa Yan. The last two Fifth Formers brought onto the lawn were next year’s junior prefect, Bella Tawney, and the new head prefect, Cooper Kistler.
