Courtney Graduates Salem High School

In the lobby of the Hawthorne Hotel, right before the big event.


On the Common, hamming it up for Mom's camera.

Courtney as she proceeds into the 'field house' where the ceremonies were held on Friday, June 5.

Here you can see a bit of Walt in the blonde "afro" wig that he wore to make Courtney laugh. She did, and that was a good thing. Even her teachers could pick Walt out of the crowd. You can also see her sister, Ashley, her mother, Vickie, her aunt Mari-Ann and her uncle Steve in these photos if you know who you are looking for.

"C" was smiling broadly as she prepared to receive her diploma from Mayor Kim Driscoll.



Her 'headmaster', Mr. Shevory, is someone C considers 'hot' for an "old guy", so she loves this photo.



Here she is right after leaving the stage, again, with that great smile.

Courtney didn't want to lose her hat, so she pretended to throw hers up so she didn't have to go looking for it. Smart kid!

We made cupcakes in her school colors, red and black, and she organized them into '09 on the table. This was at coffee hour after church on the Sunday after graduation.
