McNary presents Class of 2016
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
Kacey McCallister and Ser-
ena Dufour challenged Mc-
Nary’s Class of 2016 to try
new things because failure is
inevitable.
“What good is life if you
never try to do something re-
markable?” asked McCallister,
a 2004 graduate who deliv-
ered the keynote speech. “Get
out there and be successful.”
McCallister used his own
examples of failing in cross
country and wrestling at Mc-
Nary before learning from his
mistakes and winning district
titles in both sports.
“Congratulations on the
completion of a journey,” said
Dufour, who was one of two
student speakers. “One chap-
ter closes and the next one
opens and whether you are an
attorney or the one that bags
my groceries, my one wish for
you is to enjoy life, to fail and
mess up and try again, so that
when another opportunity
knocks, you open the door.
Try things you’ve never tried
before.”
Dufour added that the mis-
takes and accomplishments
made in high school do not
defi ne who one will become.
We are still the future gen-
eration,” she said. “We are
still young. We will grow and
change and expand and expe-
rience failure and success.”
The other senior speaker,
Malcolm Salazar, compared
high school to a movie and
graduation marked the end-
ing.
“This day is the begin-
ning of our ending,” he said.
“Because of this many of us
are worried about our next
movie—the future, what col-
lege we will go to, what ca-
reer we will pursue, or what
person we wish to become in
the future. And it is reasonable
and wise to ponder on these

things. But we must be careful
not to fall into the trap of ‘in
the future I will’ or ‘someday
I will.’ Starting now we have
to begin shaping and molding
our personality, who we will
be or how we will be known,
because the person we are
right now is going to make us
the person we wish to be in
the future.”

“I want to thank moms,
hi mom, I know you’re over
there somewhere, dads, broth-
ers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cous-
ins, grandmas, grandpas, family
friends or best friends, thank
you,” Salazar said.
“Thank you for your sup-
port. Thank you for your en-
couragement. Thank you for
your motivation and most im-
portantly, thank you for your
love.”
