Graduation - 2001
Yosemite High School Class of 2001 graduates Clint Stivers and Reve Burdett share a well-earned moment of
jubilation at the conclusion of commencement exercises held Friday, June
8. Accenting the sea of graduates and well-wishers were colorful flowers, balloons, beach balls and canned “string”
confetti.
Senior Joseph Wilder is not the
least bit excited as he drinks a bottle of water before donning his cap and
gown. I’m just going with the flow, he says.
Bryce Bullock, a valedictorian graduate, is also a
California Scholarship Federation member, for which he received a gold tassel
in addition to the blue and white YHS tassel. He tries them out on his ears
before transferring them to his hat prior to ceremonies.
