In this Issue: five pictures to sum up the semester

I am out of the office today with my ’27 (!!!) so this is a pre-post

At the end of the semester, I thought it might be fun to go back through our photo archives and see if I can find one picture that can represent each month. Here’s what I found (click to enlarge).

August

Our students were treated to a night of learning about school spirit at Wake the Demons. Dr. Wente arrived in style with the Demon Deacon on a motorcycle.
