Most students walked regally to pick up their paper, but others jogged along, highfiving students seated in the front row as they went. Some students tossed confetti or glitter into the air. Valedictorian Tate Munnich spoke of the talent of the Class of 2017, and also of deer. “There’s so many people seated behind me who plan to do amazing things with their Tate Munnich lives,” Munnich said.

Chimacum graduates’ contributions, opportunities recognized, applauded VIVIANN KUEHL VIVIANN.KUEHL@GMAIL.COM

himacum graduated its 99th class with optimism for the future and heartfelt thanks on Saturday, June 10. Principal Whitney Meissner, soon to be superintendent of the La Conner School District, opened the traditional ceremony with advice to embrace the inevitable glitches in life. “Glitches become the best stories, and we all need more laughter,” she said. Superintendent Rick Thompson recognized Meissner; departing board member Kevin Miller; graduate Carter McCleary, who was in second grade when the eponymous McCleary decision was handed down; and Washington State Teacher of the Year Gary Coyan, also faculty speaker. “Have a healthy disregard for the impossible, seek opportunities, take opportunities and make opportunities,” Thompson advised. Coyan spoke about heritage, as a tradition, but also about creating it. The Class of 2017 in particular leaves behind a legacy of kindness and community service, he said, as shown in the class’ senior projects. The class put in more than 10,000 hours of community service and raised about $13,000 to benefit others. “The world needs a little more of the spark that makes Chimacum such a special place to live,” he said. “I challenge you to take that spark into the world and use it to start a wildfire. Wherever your talents take you, be mindful of your actions because you are leaving a heritage for all to follow.” Class president Alice
Yaley likened the class to a Northwest tree, with roots reaching far into the surrounding culture, to form a sturdy, unified trunk. Branches represent future individual decisions. “No matter what happens, our tree will keep growing and our pasts will stay behind us, supporting us,” she concluded. Class-elected speaker Jack Meissner shared some of his growth experiences with the class, speaking on the difference that time makes. “We have all changed so much in so many good ways over the past 13 years,” he said. “While it can be unnerving to undergo great change, new experiences bring rewards rich enough to outweigh the challenges we’ll face along the way. So class, embrace the change!” Faculty-elected speaker Skylar Kindred, formerly Fah Thanakamon Lamaichampa, shared a moving history of her broken family life in Bangkok, a city of 8.2 million people and her arrival in the United States on United Airlines. “I’m so glad I did not get kicked out of the plane,” she quipped. She had dreamed of living in a different country and experiencing new things, but the change was enormous, with giant trees, a new language, culture and friends. She became a naturalized citizen at 15, and at 17, ran a marathon, which was hard, and she then joined the U.S. Navy, which wasn’t easy either, she related. “By the age of 18, well, I turned 18, got myself a nice car and was asked to speak,” she said. Kindred concluded by expressing heartfelt appreciation for her parents, teachers
and classmates. “You all have taught me many things: how to express myself, how to share and most important of all, how to love. Thank you, all of my friends, for pushing, dragging me forward to reach my dreams. And for sharing those unforgettable memories with me. I will miss all of you so much. And I just want to say this: Thank you for making me who I am today. Thank you.” Salutatorian Aelfhild Wiklund told her story of the water cycle with “Hytox, the Highly Anthropomorphized Mortarboards carry messages for many Chimacum High School graduates. Water-Molecule and the Young Scientist.” Sharing her dream to gain knowledge and to guard life, she urged life choices that bring joy without the price of another’s pain. Valedictorian Holly Snider shared three valuable insights. First, mistakes are a good thing, because failure is the best way to learn. “So, be brave enough to fail,” she said. “This applies to all parts of life. If your mistakes are something you regret, let them go; if they are something that helped you learn, embrace them.” Secondly, there is no one like a classmate, with the unspoken understanding that Principal Whitney Meissner, who is comes from shared memories leaving the district to take a posiand laughter. tion as superintendent of the La Finally, it’s just a grade Conner School District, presided point average, and now it’s over her last Chimacum High comtime to achieve new goals and mencement with mixed emotions. exceed other standards.

Quilcene bids fond farewell to ‘Dr. G’ Principal, class reflect on shared experiences KIRK BOXLEITNER KBOXLEITNER@PTLEADER.COM
W
hile the Quilcene High School Class of 2017 graduation ceremony June 10 was a moving occasion for many of the students and their families, it was retiring principal Gary “Dr. G� Stebbins who was among the most visibly emotional about saying goodbye. “Truth be told, I guess you could say I am also ‘graduating,’� Stebbins said. “You seniors, and this senior citizen, we are all entering a new chapter of our respective lives together. I believe we have many similar feelings of relief, mixed with happiness, along with uncertainty and perhaps just a little fear. “The parallels of our respective situations are worthy of comment. We have all been ‘counting the days,’ and right now, there are no more to count. It is a truly bittersweet time in your lives, as well as mine. Our work at Quilcene is over.� LIFELONG LEARNING Salutatorian Katie Bailey cited Renaissance artist Michelangelo as an example of the lifelong learning to which she and and her classmates should aspire. “I am still learning,� Bailey said, before informing the crowd that Michelangelo had said those words on his deathbed at the age of 88. “His words made me realize that, no matter what age you are, there is always something new and interesting to learn.� Bailey told the adults in attendance that this lesson applies to them as well. “I believe that we will all
benefit from having more open-minded people in the world,â€? Bailey said. “We would be willing to listen, learn from and understand points of view that oppose our own, in this controversial world that we live in.â€? Valedictorian Alexis Mack warned her classmates that high school graduation would not be the last big change in their lives, so they should learn to embrace change as necessary and often positive. “The road ahead of this is not going to be easy. Along this road we will meet new people, discover new places and learn as we go along,â€? Mack said. “I know we will ďŹ nd a way to overcome whatever obstacles life decides to throw our way, as we are strong and determined.â€? While Mack invited her classmates to share in fondly recalling the friendships and experiences they’ve built up to date “that will last a lifetime,â€? she deemed their journey “just begun.â€? “Along our journey, we will set out to do great things, be positive influences on others around us and leave a lasting footprint on the roads we travel,â€? Mack said. Class president Jarod Smith drew laughs by summing up some of the sillier fads and fashions of his generation’s upbringing, from Disney songs and internet meme dance moves to terms such as “alternative facts.â€? At the same time, he voiced the somber mood many felt at having lost classmates Courtney Fulton in second grade and RubyJean Murray in middle school, and then expressed his appreciation at having gained some of Brinnon’s students as “part of our crazy, rowdy familyâ€? during their preteen years. “We have had our ups and downs, and we have been through a lot, more than any
class should go through,� Smith said. “I know you guys will do great things and have even better adventures, whether going to college, trade school, military or straight into the workforce.�
GRADUATING PRINCIPAL In the Class of 2017’s acknowledgements, Hayes Beathard extended his thanks not only to the Fulton and Murray families, but also to Pam Mack for assembling a slideshow of old photos of the students; guidance counselor Katie Braaten for helping them chart post-graduate courses through life; and class sponsor Jim Weller and Principal Stebbins, or their patience and support. Although Stebbins expressed the belief that every person has a “shelf lifeâ€? in any given role, “especially senior high school students,â€? he also empathized with those who felt “pulled in both directionsâ€? by graduation, as though they’re leaving “a little of our hearts behind here.â€? To Stebbins, this lingering sense of regret over the graduating students’ impending departure signiďŹ es that they hadn’t become “burned outâ€? by their experiences, and still found happiness in each other’s company. “Being your principal for the past four years has been a life-altering process,â€? Stebbins said. “What I learned from my time here is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all,â€? he added after a moment of silence, his voice thick with emotion even as he maintained his composure. “I learned to love the journey, not the destination.â€? After the graduates had received their diplomas and tossed their caps in the air, Smith and classmate Ace Elkins hefted Stebbins up on their shoulders and carried him out of the gymnasium.
Best wishes Graduates as you head out into the big world.
