Oberlinians know how to celebrate the month of May, ushering it in with a weekend of festivities and closing it with the biggest party of all—Commencement/Reunion Weekend. This year's opening revels on May 3, 4, and 5 went off without a hitch and included the 11th annual Big Parade and Festival, ResEd's Rock the Block, and the 15th annual Folk Fest.
