Class of 2014 graduates on Dozier Field Friday, June 6 By ALEXANDRIA GONZÁLEZ The Park Record The sound of espadrilles and heels clinking against metal flooded Dozier Field as friends and families of the Park City High School graduating class of 2014 rushed the crowded bleachers to find seats for graduation. Others opted for sitting in lawn chairs and lying on towels in the grass to soak up the sun as graduates walked to their seats to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance" played by the PCHS orchestra. The graduates filed in to the white lawn chairs to begin the ceremony and hear from their fellow graduating Miners. PCHS Principal Bob O'Connor said the race between valedictorian and salutatorian came down to one one-hundredth of a grade point, and Zachary Laufer emerged victorious. While Eleanor Burton came in second, she was the first to speak words of encouragement to her classmates. She did so by describing the last four years as a race, from kicking off the starting line freshman year to setting the pace sophomore year, running with the pack junior year and digging deep and pushing ahead to the finish line senior year. "We have crossed many finish lines throughout our lives, and there are many more ahead, each one a result of our own ambitions, hopes and dreams," she said. "As you encounter each of your personal races, keep in mind the insightful words of Eleanor Roosevelt: ‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.'" Laufer took his time at the podium to address the disappointment his classmates may face in the future when it comes to receiving a payoff at the end of a hard day's work.
