There were 72 students in Whiteford High School’s 51st graduating class.
The Class of 2010 said farewell to Whiteford Agricultural Schools during commencement exercises Friday evening while it eagerly greeted the future.
The exercises were highlighted by great musical performances from the school’s men’s and women’s ensemble, the senior ensemble members, the high school band, and a duet by graduating seniors Jacob Berry and Abby Deisler.
Remarks were made by Superintendent Larry Shilling, who is completing his first year as the district’s chief administrator. His comments often drew laughter of from the audience. He congratulated students for graduating, noting that a typical student has spent about 16,380 hours in school. Then he estimated that the graduating students can look forward to more than 40 years, or 88,000 hours of work.
“I guess knowing that, school wasn’t all that bad,” Shilling said. “And remember, starting tomorrow, no more fog delays or snow days.”
