GRADUATION CARDS
1. While the challenges facing this year’s graduating class seem to be overwhelming, the capacity of the graduating students to face those challenges is, in our opinion, well within their abilities, whether they go on to college, enter the military or become part of the work force. Next Friday is the Class of 2012 Graduation Night and, as our graduates leave school and go about making their way in the world, they face an economy that while improving, is very tough, jobs are hard to find, the cost of college is increasing to the point of being unaffordable, and the ever present threat of wars & terrorism still exists around the world. Be that as it may, the graduates that we know in this year’s class still seem eager to be on their way, optimistic about the future and convinced that they can make a difference, in fact, that they can conquer the world. It is our belief that they can & will. All of us on South Jefferson Street congratulate our local graduates and their parents on this special occasion and wish you only the best. If you are graduating this year, visit Bosley Pharmacy this week and get a $3 gift certificate and a bag of Medbug Caramel Corn. Wear your cap and gown and get another $2. 2. All of us at Bosley Pharmacy are proud to graduate Ashley (Maggie) Shuster from Hastings High School this Friday. It has been our pleasure & privilege to work with Maggie while she attended school and hopefully we have helped prepare her for college & her future career, what ever that may be. When Maggie becomes rich & famous and has achieved her goals in life, we will always be proud to say that we knew her and worked with her on South Jefferson Street. Congratulations Maggie!!! 3. The annual Michigan Week Mayor Exchange Day is this Wednesday & Mayor Bob will welcome a group of leaders from Fremont, Michigan to our town. We have much in our community that is good to share & show off. As you see our visitors traveling through town, be sure to welcome them to Hastings, shake a few hands and offer any assistance they might need, proving to all the truth of our slogan, “Hastings: What you always wanted your hometown to be.” Welcome Fremont!!! 4.

Just Say “As advertised in the Reminder” Hastings Saturday, May 19, 2012
Megan Denny taking ‘Saxon Pride’ to Memphis Since its first students graduated in 1877, Hastings High School, like every community’s high school, has helped discover potential, launch careers, and change lives. For the next several weeks , the Reminder plans to visit with current graduating seniors and with past graduates to explore why Hastings High School has been so meaningful in their lives. Megan Denny Class of 2012 Parents: Jeff & Barb Denny Post graduation plans: Rhodes College, Memphis, Tenn. Field of study: Biochemistry/History Competition has always been a big factor in Megan Denny’s life, but she’s quick to point out that it’s a good sense of competition that has helped her to succeed and has allowed her to help others around her succeed. “I just see everyone around me so fired up about Hastings High School,” says Denny,18. “It’s a spirit kind of thing in everything. You know you represent Hastings and you don’t want to disappoint.” “I just see everyone around me so fired up about Hastings High School. It’s a spirit kind of thing in everything. You know you represent Hastings and you don’t want to disappoint.” Megan Denny, HHS Class of 2012
Denny points to programs like athletics and music as well as events like Science Olympiad that bring out the best in students and that shine a spotlight on Hastings High School. “The football team went to the second round of the playoffs last year, the first
Marching band is one of many activities that Hastings High School offered Megan Denny and which has helped nurture a lifelong interest in music. Denny is a four-year band member, the last two as the band’s drum major. time we’ve ever gone that far,” she says. “It was just so fun to see everyone around me with so much spirit. We have Saxon Pride.” It’s that pride and the competition to represent Hastings High School in the best possible way that Denny is counting on to help her make the transition to college life at Rhodes College in Memphis, a liberal arts school featured as a “college that changes lives” in a book with a similar name by Laura Pope. “I was considering Kalamazoo College and Rhodes,” reports Denny, “and, if I had stayed closer to home, I could watch my brother’s (eighth grader Aaron) high school years. But, when my dad and I visited Memphis, I loved the city.
“Rhodes is a small college -- about twice the size of Hastings High School -- but, if the college doesn’t have something, it’s right there in the city.” Another city or residence will be something new for Denny who, like many of her colleagues, has spent her entire life in Hastings. “Yep, kindergarten through 12th grade,” she smiles, “and that’s not even counting Noah’s Ark PreSchool.” She’ll miss friends that she’s had through all those transitions, including Brian Graybill who she remembers as a kindergarten friend and who still remains a close friend. Denny also recognizes, though, that high school graduation is a symbol of life’s transition necessities
This special message about one of our Hastings High School graduates is a community service of …
which brings some nervousness but some eager anticipation, too.
“Mr. Buehler taught me how to learn on my own. I took every honors advanced placement course I could and got involved in as many other activities as I could.” Megan Denny, HHS Class of 2012 “I’ve been to Chicago and I’ve been to New York,” Denny points out, “so it’s not like I’m unfamiliar with big cities. My dad and I spent two days in Memphis and it just felt like such a great city.” Part of that initial impression did include a stop on the city’s famed Beale St. where Denny was impressed by the city’s impressionistic sound of blues music -- so impressed, in fact, that she may even continue her love of music by minoring in music at Rhodes. In the Hastings High School music program, Denny was a percussionist and carries experience on key boards, the snare drum, the timpani, and the bass drum. Denny already plans to double major in biochemistry, as a possible pre-medical course of study, and in history because “I absolutely
love it.” Though she admits to being a bit nervous about the coming experience, Denny carries the confidence of a solid academic foundation built, in part, by science teacher Martin Buehler. “Mr. Buehler taught me how to learn on my own,” she contends. “I took every honors advanced placement course I could and got involved in as many other activities as I could.” That included music, including four years in the marching band, two as drum major, as well as Science Olympiad, Quiz Bowl, soccer, and basketball. It was the other activities that Denny counts as being key to the important component of diversity that her high school years offered. “I met so many people from other areas which made me realize how much we do have at Hastings High School,” says Denny, vividly recalling one encounter with a Science Olympiad competitor from Ann Arbor’s Pioneer High School. “We were comparing AP classes and she told me how her high school offered only two and anything else had to be independent study. We have five AP courses and it made me feel so fortunate.” That was just one edge of many that Denny will credit Hastings High School for offering her, in addition to the atmosphere in which both teachers and fellow students pushed her to do her
Megan Denny best. “There were about seven of us who always compete for everything,” she says, “but, when somebody gets something, we’re happy for them.” Denny counts that as a quality that Hastings itself provides. “I love Hastings,” says Denny, somewhat wistfully now that her days will be fewer in the town in which she’s spent her entire life. “It’s big enough that there’s always new things to do, but small enough that you always know someone.” Denny is sure Memphis will be the same, even on the famed Beale St. where the blues style of music was born and where Denny she may even expand her music interests. For Memphis, an infusion of Saxon Pride is coming and, for Hastings, another mark on the world is about to be made. For Hastings High School, it all means yet another notable passing grade.
Fun for the whole family!
