The city of Claremont simply couldn’t let go of this Claremont High senior. Miriam Clement y Caridad will be continuing her education a hop, skip, and jump away at the lovely Pomona College. With a lifelong love of the fine arts, coupled with an amazing four-year experience in Claremont High’s theater, Clement y Caridad is more than ready to major in and pursue a career in theater. She even hopes to sneak her way into one of the classes her mother teaches at Pomona college. After four years of dorming at Pomona Clement y Caridad will have garnered enough experience as a director and playwright to hopefully teach theater at a high school or college level.

As Clement y Caridad leaves Claremont High she will take many memories with her, the fondest of them all being the first time she ever tried on a costume freshman year and her love of theater was sparked.

“It was an excursion, I probably had one of the ugliest costumes. It was a piece of fabric glued to two hula hoops and it was supposed to be a jellyfish,” said Clement y Caridad. “But despite that, it’s my favorite memory because when I look back it was my first costume in a big show and an entirely new experience which I’ll never forget.”

Clement y Caridad is an optimist through and through and looks forward to being surrounded by the unique blend of Neoclassical, Spanish Colonial Revival, and uber-modernist architecture completed with the immense greenery of Pomona college. As she traverses to new heights and stages, CHS hopes this thespian finds the role she is able to play in our vast and beautiful world.
