To the Editor,
A note to say “kudos” to Senior Project English teachers Kate Kuhn and Joan Lenington for an amazing presentation of the Senior Project on May 20 in the library.

Circumstantial Celtics
by Ben Flumerfelt | June 2009
On May 17, the defending world champion Boston Celtics’ 2009 season came to a sad end with the crushing Game 7 loss to Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
