Ah Ra Yoo/9th, The Lawrenceville school

In Princeton it is time to say Adieu to seniors And welcome back alumni!

It has been the most exciting and the busiest time of the year in New Jersey for the past week. As high school and university graduations have been held Princeton University Reunion an annual event that brings back 20000 alumni in campus celebrating with unique costumes was held in May 29th to May 30th at Princeton University in New Jersey.

The massive P-rade invigorating fireworks and the performance of the Princeton Triangle Club have attracted many students from the Lawrenceville School to watch the event. Dr. Funkhouser who joined the Princeton faculty in February 1998 and recipient of the National Science Foundations Award research in computer graphics and a father of a 9th grader student at the Lawrenceville School Paige has given a tour for two 9th grader Lawrenceville Students. The Princeton Reunion highlights the importance of school spirit and the unity of current Princeton students and the alumni.

Although orange and black do not seem to be the most attractive colors to wear together these two colors represent school spirit and sense of fidelity of Princeton alumni classes and students. Princeton's trustees adopted orange and black as the official colors for academic gowns in 1896. Since 1912each year when Princeton University students graduate the graduating class designs their own apparel for their year that portrays current events and school spirit with the colors orange and black.

When it becomes their 25th year of anniversary the students wear blazers and jackets with the pattern of their year. Therefore around the Princeton Campus there are more than 30 different kinds of pattern of apparel worn that are based on orange and black.

Another most remarkable events that happen in the Reunion is the performance of the Princeton Triangle Club. Princeton Triangle Club is the oldest collegiate musical-comedy troupe in the nation and the only college group that creates a student-written musical each year. This year they present "Stark Raven Mad" in Mccarter Theatre. The Princeton Triangle Club has dealt with social cultural economic political theories such as women's rights war protests. There have been remarkable member of the Princeton Triangle Club such as F. Scott Fitzgerald '17 Joshua Logan '31 James Stewart '32 Jos? Ferrer '34 Wayne Rogers '56 and many Congratulations to the class of 2009 and good luck!
