Opening Ceremonies: President Carl Lusby called the 57th Annual Honors Banquet to order at China Hill. Terri Stephens Smith gave the invocation, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Our greeter was Irv Hodgkin.
 
Guests: Many of the 50 top graduating seniors from the Class of 2017 of Ellsworth High School and parents of students.
 
Program: President Carl Lusby introduced our guest speaker, State Senator Brian Langley. Senator Langley spoke to the graduates about how various “dots” or events in his life have been connected to bring him to where he is now and prepare him with skills he needs at this phase of his life. He encouraged the students to not feel that whatever happens in their lives while they are young will not be useful later. He spoke about the value of both education and hard work and encouraged all to do both.
 
Student Introductions: Students were introduced by Jack Frost, Marian Wells, Bruce Fischer, Clyde Cushing, and Fred Beyer.
 
Award of Scholarships: David Wells introduced Peter Farragher who awarded the Jerry Kaufman Four Way Test Scholarship to Sam Alvarado.
Carl Lusby announced that the Shirley and Helen Povich Rotary Scholarship is being given to Ashley Hudson.
Lincoln Ehrlenbach presented four Rotary Scholarships to Samantha Keenan, Leah Remick, Sierra Sargent, and James Scillia.
 
Door Prizes: Ten door prizes were awarded to students. Door prizes were Dunkin Donuts gift cards, iTunes gift cards, and Visa gift cards.
