Grads from Page 1A “This community has given us a strong founda- tion and now it’s time for us to build that foundation into our life stories,” she said. Valedictorian Allison Bussert used her speech to celebrate the trends, idio- syncrasies and trademarks of the Class of 2015. She read a list she compiled containing thoughts and suggestions from fellow seniors that described them as legendary pro- crastinators, a bundle of unpredictable nonsense, compassionate, the chil- dren of history, genuine, brave, memorable and not HDVLO\GH¿QHG Some items from the list were simple but en- dearing — “we know the Pokémon theme song” and ³ZH¶UH DOO DEOH WR ¿QLVK everything before mid- night because of the power of Dutch Bros. and Pizza Hut” — and some showed a serious and thoughtful nature — “we strive to help our community” and “we strive and aspire to be VHOÀHVV´ “We are who we are,” Bussert said. “Though we are weird, we’re also the best class ever.” From Clatsop County dodgeball success to two golf state championships, the class has produced no- table achievements. There are many words and ac- complishments to describe who they are, Bussert said, but “the best of all is a simple phrase: together.” ³$QG ¿QDOO\´ VKH FRQ- cluded, “we got 99 prob- lems, but high school ain’t one.” Trenten Meyer and Jor- dan Davis also were vale- dictorians. Christian Avila was the salutatorian. The Seaside High School band, under the direction of Ter- ry Dahlgren, provided mu- sic for the ceremony. Pol- lard conducted the class roll call, Principal Sheila Roley presented the grad- uates and Superintendent Dough Dougherty and the Seaside School District Board of Directors award- ed the diplomas.
