Ya'll have to read this to believe it....
From Yahoo.Com:
GREAT FALLS, Mont. - Jeff Greenwood is in a class by himself.He was the only student to graduate from Opheim High School this year, but the small event Friday drew a big name. Gov. Brian Schweitzer gave the commencement address.
Greenwood, who plans to attend Dickinson State University in North Dakota, said the high school is the "hub of activity" for rural Opheim, a town about 10 miles south of the Canadian border. "The student-to-teacher ratio is pretty good," said Greenwood, who is the student body president and, of course, the senior class president.
Greenwood had a few classmates before high school, but his last remaining classmate moved to Utah during freshman year. He took some classes alone his senior year while sharing others with juniors at the school. "You get to know everybody and you're friends with everybody," Greenwood said. "At the same time, you can't get away with anything."
Principal LeRoy Nelson, who has also been school superintendent, said he thought this was the first time the school graduated just one student. Six students graduated last year and 12 are on track to graduate in 2009. Nelson said he thinks single-member classes will become more common as enrollment drops at rural schools. (Ed. Note- That is not a good look, at all!!). Last year, one other Montana school had one graduate. Schweitzer spoke there as well.
For my readers who have experienced the joy of a commencement ceremony, you know this shit sucks big time. I don't know how this can be possible. It's hilarious, but sad at the same time for various reasons.
And on that note... I'm out.
