Seniors leave a legacy of many contributions to school, community Geneva High School with NOLA BLISS & WENDELL BLISS
a.m. June 2 at Memorial Field and 10 a.m. June 3 at Geneva High School. Seniors are reminded to be prompt! More than 200 students will be graduating this June and most are more than ready to move on to take the next big step as they enter into their adult lives. “Graduation is the end of one journey and the beginning of a new one. As the time grows closer to walk forward and receive our diplomas, we say ‘good-by’ to some things and people and ‘hello’ to others. Now we enter into a life of infinite decisions and responsibilities with freedom to be who we really are and to be successful,” said senior Arielle McClung. Seniors cannot help but reflect on how high school has shaped them in the last four years. “High school is strange in that it’s like an alternate universe far, far away. You go in with friends, an identity and usually an idea of what you want to do with your life, but high school changes that. It makes you a new person by giving you the best and worst experiences of your life,” said Alexandra Webb. The 2009 seniors have made all of us at Geneva High School proud. They have won Northeastern Conference championships in seven different sports. They have helped to save countless lives by donating more than 400 pints of blood to the American Red Cross. This class has clocked more than 6,000 hours of community service to support our Geneva area, and they have provided us with wonderful plays, concerts, art shows and displays of academic excellence. Guidance counselor Candy Urcheck said our seniors have brought home nearly $1 million in local, state and national scholarships that will help them through college. So, as we say “good-by” to the members of the GHS class of 2009, we reflect upon their class motto: “The memories we’ve shared, “The times we’ve had together, “They will stay with us always “Good-bye is not forever.”
