My Prom Date Goes All the Way

Congratulations to my prom date for making a great decision: Annabelle Richardson ’94 is engaged.

Annabelle (Cedar Rapids H.S. ’90-91, Deerfield ’94, Boulder ’94-95, Hamilton ’98, Imaginary Forces ‘current) may best be known as the only person to go from public school “pom-pom and pigtails” cheerleader to turn to sweater/megaphone/socially selective senior “cheerleader”….and a rare Iowa’n at prep school.

In the spirit of this news, please enjoy these photos of this year’s Choate Day Banners in the run up to DA’s “thumping” of Choate 31-6 (word of the month - Nov ’06) AT Choate on Saturday, November 11.

Elements of what appears to be an expanded spirit week included: “Everybody Wear Green” Day and a baffling Deerfield orchestrated re-baptism of Choate with some type of pig nick-naming..curious.

If anyone can shed light on the deal with the Choate pig thing, please email me.

The full wedding announcement is here.

UPDATE 12.10.06: Is a pep rally bonfire supposed to look like a terrorist attack? Weird.
