South Valedictorian Urges Grads
To Follow Lead Of U.S. Soldiers
BY DOUG R UTTER
Valcdiclorian Amelia Hawcs
urged her South Brunswick High
School classmates to follow the ex
ample set by Americans who fought
in Operation Desert Storm at gradu
ation ceremonies last Friday.
"We too must be brave and strong
as we step out into the real world,"
Miss Hawcs told the class of 1991,
reminding students they can be
come whatever they want as long as
they believe in themselves.
South Brunswick Principal Mosc
Lewis presented diplomas to ap
proximately 193 seniors during the
festive commencement at Cougar
Stadium Friday night.
Brunswick County Schools
Superintendent P.R. Hankins told
graduates they arc the future of our
nation. "You have an awesome task
ahead of you, trying to make the
world a better place."
Graduates shouldn't be afraid of
their task, Hankins said, because
their education has prepared them to
become productive and capable citi
zens.
Brunswick County Board of Edu
cation Chairman Donna Baxter,
whose daughter was among the
South Brunswick graduates, strcs
sed good citizenship and commit
mcnl to others.
Being a good citizen means exer
cising the right to vote, participating
in local meetings, contacting elected
officials and respecting the laws of
society.
Ms. Baxter said graduates should
always care about others, become
givers instead of takers and get in
volved as volunteers.
"I offer no quotes from famous
people or no profound statement,"
she said. "Always be proud of who
you are and where your roots arc,
bccausc we sure are proud of you."
Salutatorian Kristin Jones called
graduation "a sunrise and a sunset"
and a day that signifies a fork in the
road.
"On this day the past, present and
future mingle together," she said.
"We are about to leave the nest and
test our own wings."
As part of the ceremony, seniors
Andrcna Evans and Lovely Man
love sang One Moment In Time as a
tribute to the class of '91.
Class president Ernest Wcarrcn Jr.
presented the class gift to the school,
a S75 donation that will be used to
purchase a plant for the lobby.
The valedictorian, salutatorian
and senior class president and 27
other South Brunswick seniors were
