100 years of tradition 32 seniors graduate from Hayden High School a century after 1st class Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF
HAYDEN
Hayden High School’s Sunday graduation ceremony was the 100th in the school’s history. It’s safe to assume many of the traditions that were observed at this year’s festivities have been repeated for much of that century. The band played the “Pomp and Circumstance” as the seniors — 32, now graduated and on their way to join a dozen schools and 32 different futures — filed in. The salutatorian and valedictorian each gave speeches sprinkled with “thank yous” for parents and teachers, “remember whens” for classmates and tears for a major life-turning point. Guest speakers spoke about dreams and potential. Principal Troy Zabel announced that he had approved the class for graduation, and Superintendent Greg Rockhold called each member of the class forward to accept a handshake and a diploma. And with a turn of the tassel, a cloud of caps and a rain of silly string, the Class of 2009 made its way out of the Hayden High School gymnasium and into the world, joining the classes of Tigers that have preceded it. The two-hour ceremony wasn’t without its distinguishing characteristics, though, and neither was Hayden’s centennial class. See Hayden, page 14
