Thursday afternoon was SCO's annual convocation. All of the school is there and the teachers are all dressed in their doctorate robes- it's quite an event! The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students take their seats, then the faculty parades in followed by the first years. All the while an accomplished organist was pounding out a peppy tune that was making the baby wild and wiggly. (Maybe we shouldn't have an organ in the house!) There was a long process of giving awards and scholarships to faculty and the other years. After that was finished the 1st years stood together to repeat the Optometric Oath and then were called forward one-by-one to receive their white coats.
This is a shot of Bryce being helped into his coat. He was able to get in without difficulty, but there were several students who had quite a time trying to get their coats on! Afterwards Bryce confided that he had been very nervous, fortunately, all was well!
This is a picture is of Bryce walking (jauntily) back to his seat. Apparently most of the students have names at the beginning of the alphabet, so Bryce was one of the very last ones to get his coat. I managed to sneak up to the front to get a shot of him. The chapel was so dim that I had a hard time getting any clear shots, but they turned out okay.
