Riffing at graduation
Last updated 6/14/2017 at 12:07pm
With diplomas waiting in the foreground, Quincy Williams shreds it on an air guitar that sounded exactly like the lead guitar riff in Journey's 1981 epic song "Don't Stop Believin'," which he and the rest of the senior choir sang during the class of 2017's graduation ceremony at Lake Roosevelt Junior/Senior High School Saturday. "They like to have fun," Superintendent Paul Turner said as he certified that the students had met the requirements to graduate. - Scott Hunter photo
