Story on Page B2 Today H73 L49 AM Showers N 6-6 6 0 The North Summit Class of 2010 gathered on the stage for the last time in the high school in Coalville... the stage in which they had viewed assemblies, put on plays, had band concerts, watched power-point presentations on as a class, and painted scenery on for various programs, ran across, danced on, and now - sat in chairs, many chairs, lined up in a row, all dressed in their caps and gown, some with honors ban- ners, some with awards and scholarships awaiting them, and others eager to meet the world beyond! There were expressions of sadness, feelings and a little fear that maybe some friends would not be seen - maybe for a long time. Tears of excitement, joy, anticipation, and self-satisfaction that now a new and unfamiliar era of life would be starting for them...maybe knowing that they were fearing the unknown, or afraid to leave this "comfort zone" in which they had been in for kindergarten through 12th grade. Some had been lifelong friends, others moved in later on in their school years, but that did not matter this night. This night was a huge step into the world of an adult - a world they had been awaiting for to happen, but now...well...they did not feel any older - nor any more prepared! That big step - that step towards a future in which only they could make decisions for now - they had their lessons taught to them over and over - it was their turn not to see if they had lis- tened, learned, and hopefully would be able to accomplish all that was ahead of them! Following the Eagle Scouts of the 2010 Class presenting the colors and the National Anthem sung by Rebekah Rothschild, Kristy Moody, Lexi Fa'avale, Booke McCurdy, Anne Judd and Lindsey the audience , faculty and students were welcomed by McCall Richins. He also thanked the class advisors, Nancy Bates, Kurt Goodman and Bryan Stephens. Valedictorian Shannon Griffith talked about the fact that..."The purpose of life is a life of purpose. We have a choice" and that choice means that we can be anything we want to be. Salutatorian Jaci Judd mentioned "ten things I learned in high school". "How times have changed,she said," but win or lose your family and friends will be there - It seems like yesterday we were passing notes when teachers are not looking...Now we just text!

A wet and cold spring had the Seniors crossing their fingers for a warm and dry day so that their graduation could be held in the stadium. It was evident from the filled stadium that many family and friends had come to see this class finish high school and start on the next stage of their journey. The audience rose, and the Seniors started marching in at 6:00 p.m. with the boys in green caps and gowns, and the girls in all white. 88 members of the class of 2010 received diplomas. Senior Class Boys Entertainment Chair, Connor Peck took the podium and asked the audience to remain standing and join the graduates as they sang the National Anthem. Following the song, Connor officially welcomed the crowd and introduced the program. Jacob Flinders delivered an inspirational opening that began with a quote by Martin Luther King, "Life's most important question is, 'What are you doing for others?" He encouraged everyone in attendance to take the time to ask themselves this question and to commit to doing something for others. Next Jonsen Crandall, senior class Vice President, and Katie Leavitt, senior class Secretary, took to the podium to deliver a review of memories gathered from the members of the class from their travels from kindergarten through senior year. You could tell from the laughter of the class and the crowd that many of these stories weren't being heard for the first time. Casey Roper was the first speaker of the evening. He spoke about growing up in the small valley of Kamas and feeling safe while learning how to set goals, work hard, and complete tasks. He pointed out that one of his favorite things about Kamas was that it was easy to get in a car and drive to bigger things. He told the seniors that they were at the point in their lives when it was time to get up and drive towards bigger things, but to always remember they could return to the safety of home. After his speech, the Senior members of the high school choir, Tapestry presented, "When You Wish Upon a Star." They were directed by Kena Rydalch and accompanied by Shelley Sorensen. Next to speak was McKenzie Woolstenhulme. She stressed several points in achieving success in all stages of life. She stressed hard work, commitment, and desire. McKenzie stated that she thought the most important point was passion. She said that each person had to find the things in life that they were passionate about and be willing to put in the time and work necessary to reach their goals. CONTINUED ON PAGE A3 |
