MORRIS SUN TRIBUNE - GRADUATION EDITION

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 2015

2015 Morris Area senior profiles Sam Henrichs-Sam is a very successful student who has beauty and brains and the support of her family and friends that will help her go a long way. She has a great future ahead of her as a dental hygienist because she is a strong driven person who strives to do her best. She plans to live in Morris or surrounding town and not accepting her success until receiving her first job as a dental hygienist. With memories that last forever like going to Mexico with five of her greatest friends to causing mischief with Mr. Mattson in sixth grade. Morris Area High School will remember her forever. With parents and friends by her side she is sure to be a great person of this generation.

Madison Van Batavia-Madi is an amazing student who is courageous and intelligent and whose future plan is to be a forensic psychologist. She has worked very hard to get where she is today, setting high goals and knowing she won’t be successful until she accomplishs them. She wants to live in a big city with her most important friend Kourtney Giese. She will take memories with her like when Peter Schneider broke a desk in seventh grade, to causing trouble and getting sent to the wall. She is an unpredictable student that will go very far.

Joao Pedro Perillo-Joao is known all over the school as a person who has worked very hard and will reach the goal of being an agriculture loan officer. Being able to get an education and learn is one of the best memories he has to take with him. He is not quite sure where he will live but has no doubt that he will have the support of his uncle, mom, and friends. He would like to thank his teachers and the long bonfires he experienced with friends. He plans to have a nice family and we believe that he can do anything he sets out to accomplish.
