The students, who graduated in May of 2000, are Michael Davies and Shaudi Hosseini, both of Dallas, and Devin Zatorski of Shavertown. Students from the Back Moun- tain who qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP examinations with grades of 3 or higher are May 2000 graduates Karen Boback of Harvey's Lake, D.

Current Wyoming Seminary students who earned this distinction as juniors are senior class members Michael McCartney of Harveys Lake; Tren- ton Miller of Hunlock Creek; and Deirdre McLaughlin, Emily Foran, and Amanda Young, all of Dallas. Knights notes Donora Hillard In the 1960s, The Byrds sang a song entitled "Turn, Turn, Turn.” The lyrics of that song, including “to everything there is a season,” still endure today, as the Lake- Lehman juniors did some “turn- ing” of their own on the class’s annual Ring Day. This year’s cer- emony was held in mid- Novem- ber. The juniors who participated in the assembly received their class rings, which were selected in the spring of their sophomore year. The junior class officers (Lind- say Boris, Katie Pitcher, Megan Tribendis, and Jackie Schaffner) gave their classmates the option of turning their rings either 102 times or twice, in reference to their graduation year. High school principal Mr. John Oliver then gave a short commencement speech stating how Ring Day is a rite of passage, indicative of the juniors’ passage into, (gasp), adult- hood. The juniors were then allowed toroam the halls and abduct class- West Side Tech honor roll Each person finds meaning in Ring Day mates for additional ring twists. Tradition calls for the last turn, the “locking” of the ring, to be reserved for someone special, such as a parent or significant other. Overall, the class had mixed emotions about the ceremony. Some were elated to have climbed a rung on the high school ladder; others were uneasy at the pros- pect of having to assess their own development as students and teenagers. Many, though, simply viewed the day as an indication of growth. Said Stefanie Bendik: “Every day is a turning point for us. Ring Day allows our class to come together for this traditional symbol of change.” I remember my own Ring Day, feeling as though I were on the brink of some great discovery, th realization that I was finally some- body. At the same time however, I often felt I was growing down, not up. As an upperclassman you are looked upon as a veteran of high school life, but that in no way means you are ready for the real thing. I often wonder if this junior class shares my feelings. I wish them the best of luck with all of life's little revolutions, and hope | they continue evolving into fine 4 young leaders. Elizabeth J. Ellis, Principal, and Mr. Lee Namey. Principal.
