Notices in the Swarthmorean soliciting reflections from graduating high school seniors have made me look forward to the graduation issue. I was disappointed not to see an invitation to share future plans included among the suggested questions that graduates might address in their profiles.
As seen in several photos in this issue, creative acts of kindness can lift community spirits. For instance, a father-daughter trombone duo has been playing music on weekends from their driveway, to the delight of neighbors and passers-by. Last Sunday, this was shut down by a police officer. He presumably was concerned that the live music could draw people to congregate in unhealthy proximity.
