lad in their blue and white gowns with the tassels dangling from their caps flying in the wind, the 2013 graduates of Dana Hills High School held with tradition and rode to their commencement on scooters, skateboards, Big Wheels and bikes. And as “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed throughout the football field, the bustling stands filled with families and friends jubilantly cheered for their soon-tobe graduates. With the uncertainty they felt in 2009 as they stepped into high school now shed, the newest Dolphin alumni stood tall and proud as they filtered onto the green lawn, closing one door and opening another. Their speeches rang parallel in theme, but as Alexandrea McDermott, XiaRui Zhang, Ethan Rinchik and Nabil Farooqi took to the podium to deliver their parting words the individuality of Dana Hills shone through. McDermott went first, and pulling from Eleanor Roosevelt, implored her classmates to conquer one fear every day. Zhang, the Scholar of Scholars who is studying electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley in the fall, followed by asking his peers to take their creativeness to new heights to cure cancer and find cleaner energy forms. Next, Rinchik defined their commencement as the beginning and told classmates to hold onto their inner Peter Pan while facing the journey ahead. Then spoke Farooqi, whose speech balanced those of his peers and encouraged the Class of 2013 to embrace their uncertainty and bravely move forward. With a smile on his face and a glimmer in his eye, Narooqi asked, “Dana Hills how do you feel?” The 733 graduating seniors stood in synchronization and, as one voice, proclaimed, “We feel good. Oh, we feel so good.” With that the Dolphins changed their tassels from right to left, tossed their caps and said “Goodbye” to their school, their second home, affectionately called Dana. —Andrea Papagianis and Photos by Tony Tribolet
Just as the World will Shape Us, We Will Shape the World Top scholar encourages fellow grads to apply collective creativity and “ridiculousness” to change the world By XiaRui Zhang, Dana Hills High School Scholar of Scholars
L
adies and gentlemen, teacher, Dr. Allemann, Board of Directors and Class of 2013, I am honored to speak before you. Today is a very special day. As I am sure you all know, today is Kate Upton’s birthday and I, for one, am planning on crashing that party! Today also happens to be the day when we students can look our parents in the eye and say, “Don’t worry, I got this,” and then we will mention how we would be “sincerely appreciative of any and all financial aid.” We are ready for the big bad real world because at Dana Hills High School we have learned more than just the meaning of Timshel, or that Madison is the father of the
Constitution and the process of making a gravitational singularity. We have learned many of the necessary skills of life such as organization, studying and party planning. But most of all, we have learned how to be ridonkulous. Where else can you find pelvic thrusts, Saran wrapped cars and fake AP letter pranks at one school? Class of 2013, let’s use our creative ridiculousness and apply it to our futures. We need new approaches to old problems. To cure cancer, why not turn cancerous cells back into normal cells instead of killing them? Why not harness the energy made by bacteria to power our cars? Why not adopt the style of E.E. Cummings and leave blank spaces in essays?
Let’s make sure the world knows that we are the kids from Dana not by a piece of paper but by our outrageous creativity. That we are not any high school graduates, but high school graduates from Dana Hills, where outrageous is the norm and creativity is prized. I can’t wait to see which one of us changes the world first … it’ll probably be me. As Newton famously said, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Just as much as the world will shape us in the coming years, we will shape it with our bold new ideas. So, remember Class of 2013 … be silly and be ridonkulous. Thank you.
