Wellesley students sure clean up nice — here are the Cotillion pics to prove it

January 8, 2018 by Deborah Brown

Cotillion went on as planned on a clear and cold night at Boston University’s Metcalf Hall. All junior and senior-aged students who live in Wellesley — whether they attend school right here in town at WHS or a finishing school in Switzerland — are invited to attend the formal event. Luxury motor coaches picked up the revelers at Wellesley High and transported them into Boston and back. Annie Cohen, a member of the all-volunteer Wellesley Cotillion committee said, “It was a wonderful evening all around.”

Take a look at the pics, all photograph credits to Wellesley’s Cotillion photo crew, and judge for yourself:

As per tradition, all Cotillion-goers proceed through a receiving line before they enter the event.

Parent chaperones cleaned up nicely, too. This couple should definitely change their respective Facebook profile pics to this shot.
