Wyoming Seminary: Laid-Back, Mellow Wrestlers with Swords

My first question is, "What is Sem?"

My second is, what store has all those cool swords for sale?

















And mirrors for selfie-taking.

Turns out to be Wyoming Seminary, which is neither in Wyoming nor a seminary. It's a boarding and day school for boys and girls, dating back to 1844.

The upper school (grades 9-12) is in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and the lower school (grades k-8) is in nearby Fort Forty. No LGBT club, but the nondiscrimination policy includes "sexual orientation."






Only 800 students in the upper school, but that 800 really gets around. I counted 27 boys and 6 girls on the wrestling team.  This is just a sample.



They're much more likely than most wrestling teams to pose shirtless.










With parents, friends, coaches, girlfriends, boyfriends, whoever.  They're not self-conscious.















This wrestler is perfectly mellow about showing off his biceps, chest, and other parts.



















This one, too.












This wrestler even looks serene and peaceful during a match, as he tries to pin his opponent.












Here the team is apparently napping together, but one guy sneaks a look at his cell phone.

I never did find the sword store.
