A group of energetic student leaders in light blue t-shirts and shorts march down an aisle, cheering and carrying a blue flag. The scene, from Matriculation 2023, takes place in a gymnasium, with faculty in regalia on stage and a "Home of the Saints" banner above. The audience watches the lively procession.
