COMMENTARY

Parkland grads turned

heads when they pulled _
up at the waterfront park
in Sidney last week. Not

only were the young
adults decked out in ©
spectacular gowns and
sharp tuxedos, their
mode of transport in-
cluded luxury model >
cars, vintage vehicles
and stretch limousines.

The photo opportunity
preceded an evening of
dining and dancing.

Congratulations and
good luck to all those:
leaving the hallowed
hails at Parkland and
Stelly’s secondary
schools. .
