The scene at St. Louis U. High was somewhat like a circus on Tuesday, May 5 when faculty and staff welcomed seniors and their families back onto campus for a farewell “Driving of the Bills” parade. Crowds flocked to the Backer Memorial in cars decorated with paint and posters, Social Studies Department chair Kevin Foy and math teacher Craig Hinders juggled for the passing cars, snacks and merchandise were provided to attendees, and announcers livened up the event. The spectacle was surely a memorable one for the 238 attending seniors making one of their last trips to campus before starting college in the fall, and it was one of a few special end of year events that took place over the seniors’ final days.
