A salute to our graduates! During  the  high  school  graduation  season  we  tell  the  graduates  to  look  forward  to  the  future  with  hope  and  optimism,  while  those  of  us  who  have  been  out  of  school  for  awhile  take  this  moment  to  pause  and  look  back  on  our  own  years  in  high  school  and  just  beyond. The  newly  minted  graduates  look  forward  to  the  next  stages  of  their  lives:  moving  away  from  home,  perhaps  seeing  D ELW RI WKH ZRUOG JHWWLQJ WKDW ¿UVW SRVW JUDGXDWLRQ MRE ¿JXULQJ RXW ZKDW LW¶V DOO about.  It  is  a  time  full  of  promise  with  a  fair  measure  of  apprehension  thrown  in.  Look  for  those  familiar  faces  in  the  photos  inside  from  the  Middlebury,  Mount  Abraham,  Otter  Valley  and  Vergennes Â

At  the  same  time,  parents  and  alumni  VHH WKH IUHVK \RXQJ IDFHV DQG FDQ¶W KHOS but  look  back  at  how  their  own  lives  and  those  of  their  friends  and  acquaintances  have  progressed  over  the  years.  We  join  in  the  reminiscing  and  asked  graduates  from  these  four  local  high  schools  to  tell  us  a  little  about  where  life  has  taken  them  in  the  years  since  JUDGXDWLRQ ,QVLGH \RX¶OO ¿QG SUR¿OHV RI a  handful  of  Vermont  natives  in  their  20s  —  people  you  may  have  known  when  you  were  in  high  school.  We  chose  a  selection  of  people  who  graduated  between  six  and  \HDUV DJR LQ WKH KRSHV WKDW WKLV \HDU¶V
