Emotional Day for Parents of Malden High Graduates

Parents experienced mixed emotions following their children's graduation on Sunday.

If you arrived late, you'd be lucky just to find standing room at Sunday's graduation ceremony. 

Gray skies and scattered raindrops didn't prevent family members and friends from filling the bleachers at MacDonald Stadium to see their loved ones graduate from high school. 

A range of emotions was evident in the stands, but joy and excitment seemed to be most prevalent. As each graduate crossed the stage, their biggest fans erupted with noise, whistling, clapping, shouting, and blowing airhorns.
