Grad ceremonies: Bittersweet finales for seniors

SPRINGFIELD – In a time-honored tradition, high school seniors took some of their last steps as students across campus on Friday.
Rylie Lynnes stood in line to walk the stage at Thurston with her best friend, Karlie Yaroma. The two of them spent their high school years wrestling together.
“I really liked the family aspect of wrestling,” Lynnes said. Plus, she got a good workout during the season.
After high school, she is looking forward to attending Western Oregon University to pursue her “dream career” as an elementary school teacher.
