Last week, the Brother Rice seniors had the opportunity to show off their college selections with a new tradition – College Shirt Day. This special day was suggested by senior Tom Nye, who says that he was inspired to do it: “I heard about other schools doing something similar, and I thought it would be a great way for seniors to show everyone where they were going.” Many Brother Rice seniors gladly took part in this event, and they were proud to show where they plan to continue their educations.
“The Class of 2012 is headed to great colleges, and it was really visible especially on that day. I think that the variety and number of colleges (chosen) by my classmates shows not only how academically gifted the senior class is, but also how well they handled the rigorous and nerve-racking college application process,” said Nye.
This was an accurate depiction of all the colleges that were shown off on college shirt day. The colleges that were displayed ranged from Berkeley to Harvard. By wearing these shirts, it gives a perfect example of how academically gifted the students at Brother Rice are. It is definitely obvious that all of the seniors worked very hard during their four years at Brother Rice, and that they will be rewarded greatly for their efforts.
Now that it was started this year, students and teachers alike expect college shirt day to be a yearly tradition at Brother Rice. Not only does it display the academic excellence of Brother Rice students, it also gives the whole school bragging rights. Not many schools can claim that most of their seniors are going to colleges that are known to be some of the best in the country. The students and faculty should be proud to have so many intelligent students attending our school.
