Under blue skies, with temperatures hovering in the '90s, the Class of 2008, along with nearly 3000 friends and family members, came together on Sunday, June 8 to celebrate Phillips Academy’s 230th commencement. "Thank you," said School President Tantum "Teddy" Collins to his classmates, as he addressed them for his final time, "for the support, the friendship, the assistance, the late nights, the early mornings, the kind emails, the enlightening dinner conversations, the borrowed pens, pencils and calculators, the shoulders to rest on, the couches to sleep on, the experiences, the moments to live on. Class of 2008, it has been the greatest honor of my life to share four years with you, and I can only hope that I will see you soon."
