Riverside graduates remember lost classmate DEGRAFF — In a touching ceremony during graduation exercises at Riverside High School Friday, each of the 56 members of the Class of 2013 placed a white rose at an empty seat in memory of deceased classmate Kameron Millice. Kameron was killed in an auto accident in June 2010. Graduates and their guests were welcomed by Superintendent Scott Mann. The high school band and choir performed. Bill Halter, pastor of

the Maplewood United Methodist Church and a retiring teacher, gave the invocation. Valedictorian Kristin Newland spoke to her fellow classmates. “I have the greatest confidence that all of you can accomplish your goals,” she said. “Obstacles cannot stop you; problems cannot stop you; and most of all, other people cannot stop you. The only thing that can stop you is yourself. The obstacles that we may face in the future do not have

half of the strength that we think they have. There is strength deep inside of us that nothing can break.” Morgan Robison, class president, read the names of the graduates as Don Klingler, school board president, and Mann distributed diplomas. Principal Andy McGill announced the following awards and scholarships: • Taylor Ranae Anderson: Pepsi Scholarship, Mary Hoy Scholarship, Boggs Lodge See RIVERSIDE/Page 4

THE CHRISTIAN Academy graduating class of 2013 sits in ceremony on Friday.

Nine students at Christian Academy began a new phase of their lives Friday night when they received their high school diplomas. “God has taught me many things throughout my life, but there are a few things that I would like to share with you that He took me across the globe to really teach me,” said valedictorian Sara Abbott. “God revealed many things to me while I was in India. I would like to share a few of those lessons that I feel apply to us as we go out into the world. “The first thing I would like to share is that we must ‘be aware of the world around us.’ We need to ensure that we do not get so lost in our own busy worlds that we forget that those around us also have struggles. We need to make a point to truly be aware of and affect others’ lives. We must realize just how important it is that we try to really impact the lives of those around us.” Abbott continued her speech by talking about her experiences in India during a mission trip. “While I was in India was made aware of this when our group had heard about a woman who had been healed.
