There were smiles and hugs and high-fives.
No masks.
No social distancing.
Dover-Sherborn's Class of 2021 capped a year of pandemic restrictions and other craziness with an in-person ceremony on June 3 at Nora Searle Field.
According to Superintendent Dr. Andrew Keough, who retires at the end of June, the in-person ceremony was "unlikely" until recently, but thanks to the Dover and Sherborn boards of health, along with Assistant Principal Ann Dever-Keegan, they made it possible.
"And don't forget your teachers ... they went above and beyond for your efforts," he said.
Keough recalled how the class heard the word "no" a lot.
"Your class was rough and it was unfair," he said. "But through hardship, we become stronger human beings ... Class of 2021, you did not get your way ... you're been tempered like steel, and you're indeed prepared for the world."
"You have faced adversity, and you have succeeded," said Principal John Smith.
The ceremony featured three declamation finalists. Ashley Gong, Sophia Katz and Sabrina Ryan thanked their teachers and their parents for their roles in adjusting to remote and hybrid learning.
"You've had to deal with a bored Zoom teenager with nothing to do," said Katz.
After the distribution of diplomas, Dover-Sherborn's newest graduates gathered in a circle behind the staging area and did something now allowed in 2020 -- toss their caps into the air, followed by lots of hugs.
"I'm just so happy for these kids," said Keough.
