Everyone had fun, and most people did so responsibly. I think the article itself was unintentionally focused in the wrong direction, especially after speaking to the author. I made it clear to him that the Seniors did a great job cleaning up afterwards, and that despite police presence, there were minimal issues. Also, the reports of vandalism have been greatly exaggerated. I agree Katelyn, the students and staff did a really nice job. Everyone had fun, and most people did so responsibly.

There is absolutely no mention of the cooperation from students to make sure this tradition was carried out safely and smoothly. In addition to the unnecessary focus on vandalism and the presence of Rindge PD (which has been known to occur on any given weekend) the picture choice is disheartening. I find it hard to believe that a shot of garbage (placed where it sure be) was the only picture available for this article. Saturday was a day of great weather, wonderful company, and great atmosphere that only Franklin Pierce can provide; it's unfortunate that nobody will learn that by reading this article.
