Alex Trainer shakes hands with classmates as they head to the stage to hear their names read during the Hinsdale Middle School graduation June 10 at Westmont High School's outdoor field. Zoe Wiemeyer and Tyler Thick offer their graduation addresses. Two hundred and thirty HMS eighth-graders participated in the commencement exercises. Students from Clarendon Hills Middle School graduated in a separate ceremony held the same day at Westmont High School. (Steve Johnston for The Hinsdalean)
