"We cannot discover new oceans unless we have
the courage to lose sight of the shore," is the
motto of the Bonners Ferry High School Class of
2013, and today, under hazy skies, this year's
graduates pushed away from shore, their eyes
bright and fixed on a variety of new oceans.
Some are off to college, a few to the military,
still others to trade school or straight to
work. Some reach for distant shores, others have
chosen to stay close to home. For each, the
future beckons, arms open wide.
The Bonners Ferry High School Band played the
processional as ushers Cameron Woods, Anika
Blackmore, Bradley Thompson, Mackenzie McDonald,
Dalin Hubbard and Camille Awbrey seated family,
friends and guests, the stands at the high
school football stadium filling rapidly, even
more filled the field.
Graduating senior Hailey Beazer sang the
National Anthem as members of American Legion
Post 55 raised the flag, and principal Kirk
Hoff, greeting his first class of graduates,
bade family and guests welcome.

Principal
Kirk Hoff welcomed guests and addressed
his first class of Bonners Ferry High
School graduates. |
| There
were fist bumps ... |
 |
 |
...
Friends on the verge of parting ways. |
|
Cheers ... |
 |
| |
|
 |
...
and hugs. |
| Faces
in the crowd, such as Ron and Evelyn
Smith, who gave much to the Class of
2013, and many other classes, as well. |
 |
 |
Proud
parents getting up close to catch a
memory of a memorable moment in their
child, or grandchild's, life. |
| Class
president Kody Rice gave the senior
class speech ... |
 |
 |
...Tyson
Boorman, along with Jessica Beazer,
presented the Salutatory Address. |
| Alex
Perkins, along with Jared Lysne and
Keaton Tremble, gave the Valedictory
Address. |
 |
 |
Hannah Kelso performed a vocal rendition
of "Stay." |
| Guest
speakers Tracy Iverson and Lisa Iverson
partook the opportunity to pass on some
sound life lessons ... |
 |
 |
...
Which fell on attentive ears. |
| And
before you knew it, the Class of '13 was
in promenade to receive the diplomas for
which they worked so long and so hard. |
 |
 |
Several received more than their
diplomas, garnering heartfelt hugs, such
as this one by trustee Lisa Dirks. |
| Some
shared laughs, as with Beverly Krichbaum
and Superintendent Richard Conley. |
 |
 |
As
row after row of the Class of 2013 rose
in preparation to make their walk ... |
| They
fell under the fond gazes of class
advisors Janis Tucker and Dan Butler,
both among many teachers who had watched
many graduates grow from the day they
entered Bonners Ferry High School as
freshmen. |
 |
 |
Some
took a moment to shake hands with
friends and smile for the many cameras
... |
| ...
And classmates smiled right back! |
