(Cleveland)- One of the largest crowds in recent memory filled the White County High School Stadium Friday night to witness the next step in the lives of 257 graduating seniors from the school. During the ceremony, prior the presenting of diplomas, Madison Pollitt the class Salutatorian quoted from the Bible Jeremiah 29:11 and then told her fellow classmates, “Everything will unfold according to his plan, just be conscious that is your choice to either (a) live your life simply going through the motions or (b) make intentional choices that you truly make a difference in this world.”
She was followed by Slaine Sinead O’Bryant, who in her Valedictorian address shared memories of the past years and told the graduates, “I remember these things and it’s not so much that I hold on to them, but how they hold on to me. And I’m certain that every single one of you has memories like these, the one’s that remind you to remember are school and life and how each person and thing adds to the collective, defines it and stabilizes it. These types of memories leaves indentions in ourselves and others saying I was here and you felt it.”
Following the command from class president Brittany Anderson, that graduates could turn their tassel, graduation caps were thrown up in the air and parents and friends rushed onto the football field to congratulate the new graduates.
