Dana Hills Grads Prepared to Reach New Heights
PU SE LLO CT U IO T N
As the familiar first notes of “Pomp and Circumstance” began to play on the afternoon of Friday, June 19 in the Dana Hills High School stadium, friends and family crowding the bleachers sat up straight, craning to get a first glimpse of “their” graduate as he or she filed in among the waves of the 676-member sea of blue and white, known collectively as the class of 2015. Principal Jason Allemann, himself a Dana Hills graduate, led the ceremony, congratulating the students for their accomplishment and expressing every confidence in their ability to move forward to even greater heights in the future. As diplomas were distributed, the announcement of every student’s name ushered an exuberant peak of applause, cheers and even a few air horn blasts. Commencement speeches kicked off with an address by Scholar of Scholars Christian Martindale, who commended fellow grads on their everyday displays of good character and called upon them to continue to surround themselves with other upstanding people who understand the value of a good reputation as a key ingredient to success. Hayleigh Shobar recalled memories of the many “firsts” she and her classmates experienced together over the past four years, gave credit to those who lent their support along the way and encouraged her peers to approach the future with open minds and well-earned confidence. Daniel Sabri urged the class to “never forget the past, always treasure the present and forever look to the future.” And Evelyn Roberts rallied the class to continue to “bleed blue,” exhibiting the personality, excellence, spontaneity, vitality and resilience that are hallmarks of Dana Hills culture. After the traditional turning of the tassels, graduates sent their mortarboards flying in celebration followed by the release of white doves—both symbolic gestures illustrating that, for the class of 2015, the sky’s the limit.—Andrea Swayne
Upstanding Reputations Bring Success Top scholar urges grads to move forward with good character, in good company BY CHRISTIAN MARTINDALE, DANA HILLS HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLAR OF SCHOLARS, GPA 4.71, DUKE UNIVERSITY
CHRISTIAN MARTINDALE
My fifth-grade teacher, Sally White, is one of the wisest people I have ever met, and she told my class something one day I hope never to forget. She said, “You might have an honest, good character, but people won’t see that if you they look at you and see you surrounded by people they don’t respect.” I think the reason this has stayed with me for so long is because we all see evidence of its truth all the time in our own lives; most people form first impressions and decide whether to respect someone based on his friends. Since respect is something that can’t be truly given, only earned, and is a crucial element in building a successful life, I have come to regard choosing friends wisely as one of the most important decisions we can make. We’ve all heard the famous Martin Luther King, Jr. quote about his hope that someday people will be judged solely based on the content of their character. And when I look back over our time here I see so many people who give countless, everyday displays of honest, selfless character that make me proud to be a part of this class. I had a teammate who ran eight miles to school for practice during Christmas break because he made a commitment to be there and couldn’t get a ride. I’ve seen someone report a grading mistake in his favor even though he knew would cost a whole letter grade on the final. I’ve never heard a single arrogant word from the smartest person I know. These examples of good character certainly earned my respect, and it would be a shame to see that respect marred by the conduct of others, with a judgment based not on the content of their own character but on another’s. With the host of new challenges and opportunities the next year will bring us all, we will have a fresh start to earn this fair judgment on solely our own action. No matter where we go after we leave here, whether to college two thousand miles away or going to work right here, we are all going to have to make new friends and therefore a new reputation. With this fresh start comes a choice, a choice whether to allow others to hide our character or to surround ourselves with people who also value their own reputations. If we can allow people to judge us based on our own actions, unsullied by the deeds of others, then we can take back the power to forge our own reputations. And if we control our reputations, we take our futures into our own hands. DP TIMES GRADUATION SPECIAL | CLASS OF 2015
