VILLANOVA–The field house at Villanova University was packed with parents, siblings, relatives and friends of graduating seniors at . Beginning at 6 p.m. and ending almost precisely at 7 p.m., the ceremony was complete, well organized, and well attended. 

Alexandra Stephanou and Suzanna Talento were the student speakers, while Superintendent Dr. Merle Horowitz and Marple Newtown High School Principal Dr. Ray McFall spoke for the administration. 

Members of the high school band, choir, and orchestra played and sang in honor of the graduating class. Patch had our camera trained on the ceremony as you will see in the gallery, but we also had them trained on the students and guests before, during, and after the ceremony. Check back with Patch to see those photos on Sunday.
