Cap & Gown
ur annual Cap & Gown section begins on page 75. It is our
eagerly awaited, annual tribute to graduating high school
seniors who have achieved superior academic performance
during their high school years. Our criteria: each student must have
at least a 3.60 grade point average on a 4.00 scale.
However, as can readily be seen from the 94 biographies included
this year, these academically talented students do far more in the
general and Jewish communities than just hit the books.
Congratulations to them for making our future exciting and great!
