Nearly 200 seniors participated in graduation ceremonies Friday at North Bend High School and six valedictorians and one salutatorian spoke about the pride they had in their school and classmates and the hopes they had for the future. Vocalist Liz Hoover and Sara Simpkins sang "Good Riddance" and "Graduation Day," a song written by students, also was performed by North Bend students Becca Young, Isaiah Nicolle, Brandon Whalen, Amy Bryan and Erik Larsen. Near the end of the ceremonies, the audience and class of 2004 sang the North Bend High School Alma Mater:
North Bend High, our Alma Mater
Memories ne'er forgot.
Heaven and earth, thy sons and daughters,
Will thy blessings be.
When the setting sun shall vanish
Glory is thy lot.
Love and loyalty forever
is my pledge to thee. |
