In her salutatory address, Alison Telles shared this nugget of wisdom to East Union High School’s Class of 2012: “How you face challenges will determine your success.”She could have been talking about the Friday’s unseasonal weather, too, and how the rains that threatened the outdoor commencement program early in the evening caught some people by surprise. A couple, while on their way to see their niece receive her diploma, got drenched by the 5 o’clock precipitation. But that did not discourage them from attending, ignoring the discomfort of their wet coats throughout the hour-long ceremony in the school stadium.Luckily for East Union’s Class of 2012, the evening sky cleared in time for the graduation show to begin.Class valedictorian Cameron Shields also focused on the subject of life’s challenges in his valedictory address.
