Ohh man...Graduation night! was FUN!
I didn't graduate, but I went to it. The class of 2004 graduated. I sat with some friends on the bleachers at the gym - thats where the ceremony was. We got there at 7:30pm and already, the whole school parking lot was FULL! the police detoured us to an alternative space which was a school bus station, they made us park there. We walked over to the school and immediately my friend Guy put on his Gown and the hat and went to his group that he's supposed to be with, they gathered at the cafeteria. the group is organized by your last name. I went down to the first floor (cafeteria is second floor, but it's really the first, its just the way my school is built) So, i met with some friends, Murphy from last year, Ben McCarthy also from last year, Sean Quinn and a few other people that I don't know - but we all went up and sat on the bleachers all the way on top. The ceremony started with the National Anthem, and moved on with a Welcome from Brittany Benson, and Student Senate. MWHS Concert Choir stepped in and sang Worthy To Be Praised which was a cool song actually I liked it. Senior Class speakers then gave two speeches; one was The Opportune Moment by Sarah Martinson, and The Blink Of An Eye by Lana Peterson. I don't remember what they were about, but definitely about how the class of 2004 was great in friendships. MWHS Symphonic Band performed Puszta and School Community Awards and Recognitions were presented by our Principal Keith Randklev. The Concert Choir again performed a song called Lullaby. Greetings and Presentation of Graduating Class was presented by Gene Zulk, former Principal and now a Superintendent. Conferring of Diplomas was presented by Roger Bredeson, Ann Bremer - School Board Members. Finally, Reading of Class Roll was performed by Bob Lohmann, good ol' Bobby, he is the Tech teacher, also a Woods class teacher - it was his last year in MWHS after I think 33 years working in school - he was chosen by the class of 2004 to be Reading the names of all the graduates. It was great. When some of my good friends got their name read, such as Kevin Olson - gosh, what a great kid, all the people I was with went crazy. After the ceremony I asked him if it felt good getting recognized, being supported he said it was Great! My great fuckin' funny guy friend Alex Walsh graduated tonight! and I'm so happy for him he is such a funny guy - there aren't many people in the world with great sense of humor. He Is Great! Congratulations man!
It was definitely a night to remember, I will never forget this night...it will hold a special place in my heart because It's the last time I see some of the people I will probably not see this summer. I'm so glad I went, It was a happy, and yet an emotional night for me. I am not coming back to MWHS next year. =(
