Congratulations to the Class of 2007!
Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady was practically filled to capacity with well-wishers cheering the Class of 2007 during Niskayuna High School's commencement on Thursday, June 21. Nearly 350 graduates walked across the stage to collect their diplomas following an evening of memories, music, inspiration and tradition. Class of 2007 President Alexandra Leece addressed fellow graduates, family, friends, faculty, administrators and staff before passing the school flag to President of the Class of 2008 Jenna Havis. Graduating seniors presented three remarkable musical performances. Laura Isabella sang the moving “Think of Me” from Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Violinist Leo Brown performed two classical pieces, “Beau Soir” composed by Claude DeBussy and “Zigeunerweisen” by Pablo de Sarasate. Six classmates including William Burkey, Ben Golub, Amity Higgins, Emma Ladouceur, Jennifer Lefsyk and Emily Payton joined together in a performance of the Beatles' classic, “In My Life,” co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Congratulations graduates!
