In the fall, McIntosh will be studying political science and economics at Northeastern University.
Sullivan, the daughter of Erin and Noelle Sullivan of Williamstown, was chosen by the Mount Greylock faculty to speak at graduation. She has earned the highest respect from the teachers who have worked with her due to her kind, compassionate nature and her determination to succeed.
She has demonstrated her ability to master challenging coursework, and, upon graduation, will have successfully completed seven Advanced Placement courses and a dual enrollment course at Williams College. Sullivan is heavily involved in the school community serving as a leader on the Student Council, the Student Athletic Advisory Council, the Multicultural Student Union, Register Educate Vote (REV), peer team and was named the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper.

North Berkshire Community Dance
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass — On May 11, North Berkshire Community Dance will hold its monthly contra dance with calling (teaching) by Quena Crain, and live traditional fiddle music by masters of the New England contra dance repertoire.

According to a press release:
Contra dancing is a contemporary take on a living tradition. The music is live, the dances are taught, and anyone is welcome, with or without a partner — people change partners fluidly for each dance. The caller teaches dance moves and skills as needed.
