Hello there Newport graduating class of 2012. Well... One half of them at least. Got real lucky with this. Free-lens and held stable at 1/80, mighty fine job if I do say so myself. Words can't express how much I loved this class. Besides my own of course (2013)

U.S. Air Force Basic Cadet Trainee Adam Marcinkowski exits a water obstacle on the assault course during the Class of 2016 Basic Cadet Training at the U.S. Air Force Academy's Jacks Valley in Colorado Springs, Colo., July 19, 2012. (DoD photo by Michael Kaplan, U.S. Air Force/Released)

This is the main content of my promotional graphic being used to push my 2012 Senior Rep Program. It's a collage of pics from all my seniors thus far. If you're interested in seeing final product, you can see it here.

Looking for an idea for upcoming Graduates and Greeting Cards? These are our Grandkids, Will on the left and Alan on the right. I took this shot the day they both started Kindergarten. They are now both 14 and shortly will be heading off to High School.

For you Photoshop folks out there you can get the "Class of 2012" effect I have above by simply writing the letters in large type as I have.

Now take your rectangular marquee tool and snip out a piece of the 0 and the 1. Then press CTRL & J to put it on a seperate layer. Now fill it with your background color, I was using white. and put in the "Class Of" using a different color.

The blue ribbons with the gold inlay I put in using the Custom Shapes.

Our Senior picture session took a turn for the worse when the "creek" was a bit deeper than anticipated. =(

Pappas works on her one-act play in Fairchild 101. “After auditioning actors I realized the play still needed work,” says Pappas. “So I edited the script for a while before meeting friends to listen to live music at Late Night Molly’s.” Read the full story at Dartmouth Now.

Congratulations to all the graduates of the Class of 2012. You did it!

The tradition of class rings at American colleges and universities is believed to have originated at West Point. Cadets have the option of customizing their rings—everything from size, stone selection and color. The ring itself is symbolic of the class about to join the Long Grey Line. Since 2002 it has become a West Point tradition to melt down the donated rings of graduates and combined into the rings of future classes. Photo by Mike Strasser, West Point Public Affairs

The lasting relationships she has made with her peers and faculty have been most important to McKendry. After graduating from Bucknell University in 2009, she served as president of Thayer’s Master of Engineering Management Council (MEMC), facilitating programs focused on the professional, academic, and social development of her classmates. “This position allowed me to not only contribute to the program, but to also form close relationships with the diverse MEM student body,” she says. "What sets a Dartmouth MEM education apart is the opportunity to not only experience challenging and innovative courses at Thayer and Tuck, but also the option to compliment those with courses at the Geisel School of Medicine and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), both of which I did. In addition to this, I found it really refreshing that Dartmouth recognizes there are other types of education that can complement a student's academic studies." Her favorite extra subject: a whitewater kayaking class. After finishing her coursework in the fall of 2011, McKendry moved to Boulder, Colo., where she works as a project engineer at Covidien Surgical Solutions, a global healthcare products company.

After playing rugby his freshman year, Wijnberg found his home at Phi Delta, where he served in a leadership role his senior year as the fraternity’s social and programming chair. He organized the fraternity’s first Winter Carnival chili cook-off, which raised $2,500 for Fisher House Foundation, an organization that aids wounded veterans and their families. Wijnberg has also been a proud member of Dartmouth’s Army ROTC program. He jumped out of planes at Airborne School in Fort Benning, Ga., and shadowed an infantry platoon leader last summer. “ROTC gave me a level of structure and focus that I had never had,” he says. “I've been honored to train with my fellow cadets over the past four years, and the program has given me a link, both on and off campus, to people and places I ordinarily would never encounter.” After graduation, he will attend Army Ranger School and participate in six months of infantry officer training. Upon completion, he will be posted as a platoon leader in the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vicenza, Italy (photo: Eli Burak '00)
