Traditions

Rose and Candle Ceremony

All graduates are invited and encouraged to attend the Rose and Candle Ceremony. The Rose and Candle Ceremony is a traditional ceremony at Barry which attempts to symbolize the bonds of friendship and sending forth of graduates. Graduates exchange a candle, the symbol of wisdom and knowledge, with a Barry underclassman of their choice. In return, graduates receive a rose as a symbol of love and friendship. Graduates should wear academic robes (no hoods or caps). Those serving as roses should wear business dress attire. Guests of the graduates are welcome.

“All Hail To Barry”

Words and Music by Frank X. Locanto
All Hail to Barry, hail to Barry
Alma mater proud and true
Always caring, ever sharing
Our heart longs to be with you
Time could never dim the flame
Of memories that will remain
We’ll remember dear ole Barry
And smile when e-er we hear your name.
