High School Coronation


Last night I went to the Klahowya High School coronation ceremony. I'd received an invitation from Chad Reeder, one of our youth at St. Antony's, who was on the court.

This was high school ritual at its peak: ten young couples, elegantly dressed in formal wear, being recognized for their grace and accomplishments. Each couple was announced and a short bio was read as they entered. The school jazz group sang two lush numbers with warm vocals and rich harmonization. The new king and queen were crowned, and the program ended.

Chad is a very accomplished young man and kept a very poised presence through the ceremony. It was a pleasure to see him and these other fine young people.
