General handymen during Graduation Week, the Ushers take part in all Class Day and Commencement exercises and are invited to the annual Senior Spread, it was explained. Their principle responsibilities are to welcome guests, to answer questions, to help ticket takers, and to pass out bunches of confetti at the Class Day celebrations.

Chosen From Active Juniors

The most active part of Graduation Week for the Ushers is the Baccalaureate Service when they sandwich Seniors and their parents into the crowded seats of Memorial Church.
