Class President’s Welcome Emma Wilson Graduation, June 2, 2010 Welcome families and friends to the class of 2010, and soon-to-be graduates. It is my honor to present my classmates before you today. I have enjoyed the company of many of you during my four years at Portland High, and I am extremely proud of each of you today. To pay tribute to our vibrant and diverse class, I would like to highlight what I believe is our defining attribute- our unflagging vitality. Perhaps I am putting an overly positive spin on our somewhat rambunctious nature – but our lively class has, without question, brought a great spark of enthusiasm to both our community and the halls of Portland High School. This school bursts with vitality and has provided our class with endless opportunity- for freedom, academic excellence, and great companionship – allowing us to achieve both personal and academic successes. We have also, I submit, seized most opportunities to have fun. Our class is famous for our ability to make any occasion more light-hearted. We transformed a formerly dull fifteen minute homeroom period into a frenzy of activity- a time when seniors played music, caught up with friends, and brake danced. We have embraced all spirit week has to offer, from cross-dressing to confetti – throwing to storming the halls. But life in the class of 2010 has been much more than just festivities. The talent I find most remarkable in my peers is their ability to apply their unflagging vitality to more serious pursuits. The many accomplishments of the scholars , athletes, artists, and musicians of our class have not been achieved by talent alone – they are the results of thousands of hours of determined effort. Man of my class mates work full time jobs – to support themselves or their families. With great determination my athletic peers have spearheaded the Boy's Lacrosse and Girl's Tennis teams to flawless seasons and turned the Bulldogs recent football record around. WE have fought for what we believe in- from those of us who have stood by our friends in trouble to those of us who labored earnestly on political campaigns and community service projects. After nights spent working on college applications until 2 in the morning, the driven group of young men and women behind me have been accepted to scores of schools across the country. A large segment of our class is made up of students who have been, various times, new to our city, new to our country, and even new to english - - as have so many PHS graduating classes over the last 150 years. I have been inspired by their example. We need to recognize here today the determination of these classmates, which has brought them past extraordinary and profound challenges to this stage today. Some would say our class is overly confident in our abilities. After, all we have selected R. Kelly's “World”s Greatest” to be our graduation song. As we step into the real world, “World's Greatest” will not be on on our resume. But I am certain that the confidence we have forged as a group will be invaluable as we go forth on our varied pathways. I Class president, Emma Wilson 3
