Juniors Receive McD Pins

McDonogh’s Class of 2019 officially became upperclassmen at the annual Junior Pin Ceremony on Sunday, October 1. The evening began with a casual advisory dinner in Paterakis Dining Hall, after which students spilled onto the Ritter Terrace for photographs. The junior class then processed into the Ceres M. Horn Theatre for the ceremony, which included remarks from Junior Class Dean Libet Ottinger and class officers Hannah F. and Ethan C., followed by a slideshow of memories created by Anna J. and Abby F. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of gold McD lapel pins by Head of Upper School Merritt Livermore and Headmaster Charlie Britton. At the conclusion of the evening, Britton spoke about the meaning of the pin and encouraged the students to wear theirs with pride.
