On October 12, after being rescheduled due to weather, Eisenhower’s class of 2027 took their annual class picture.
As a senior who attended, I’d say it ran quite smoothly. Seniors were called out to the football field during advisory to stand in the shape of a 27, and it went without a fuss. Cones were lined up, and the number was laid out as smoothly as possible. It was interesting to see the community that had grown in the four years we had all attended Eisenhower. People were laughing, chatting, taking pictures, and even throwing footballs in the meantime.
As Mr. Diaz stepped up front to get everyone in the proper shape, Mr. DeWitt’s drone hovered over us. You could hardly see the thing, considering it was so high up. This is the 10th time Mr. DeWitt and Mr. Diaz have organized the class photo.
The sky was pretty clear, in retrospect, but the wind certainly didn’t spare us at all; a lot of us found ourselves shivering in the cold autumn air. If I were ever to attend an event like this again, I’d probably bring a spare jacket. Let that be my warning to you, juniors, considering your turn at this class picture is next year.
Overall, I’m sure plenty of people agree with me that this is one of Eisenhower’s best long-standing traditions. It gives us a moment to look back on how much we’ve grown and how much we can still grow in the future. It’s quite a nostalgic experience.
