The rain, which had been feared all day, finally arrived as students and guests were making their way to the Convo for the afternoon ceremony.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house (or among Jacklyn Bode's friends, who were standing nearby). The necklace Jean Bode is wearing is one Jacklyn made for her in kindergarten.

Young John, 6, from Dayton, did not actually himself graduate -- he just kept the headgear warm for his mom, a nursing student who would graduate in the afternoon ceremony, as he played on the Civil War Memorial on College Green.

A lot of furniture and other items that probably have stories to tell were left on this and other Mill Street lawns. They were quickly gone through by area residents scavenging for saleable or useful goods.

Moving out is a family job. One of the many illustrations was this group departing Jefferson Hall Saturday.

Using all his strength, this OU student lifts a heavily loaded tub into a UHaul trailer -- only to discover that it was just a little too big to fit.

It's a steep walk up Mill Street.
