Alumni Association Presents First Annual Alumni Scholarship
| The 47th Annual Awards Night ceremony
was held in the CCS gym on Thursday 25-Jun-2009 at 7pm. The 83 members of
the Class of 2009 marched smartly into the gym to processional music
played by Miss Katie Gardiner. Dan Roberts, high school principal,
welcomed family and guests. Class president, Kaitlin Naaktgeboren, led the
crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. Next, a select group of chorus member
offered a beautiful a capella rendition of the National Anthem. Then it
was time for the awards. Ken Gottry, president of the CCS Alumni Association, presented the first annual alumni scholarships to three delightful young ladies. Here is his presentation speech:
Graduates … No matter where your future plans will
take you, we hope that you retain your relationships with your
classmates and your community. In 2005, the CCS Alumni Association was
formed to help you stay in touch. We have a website (CCSIndians.com). We
have an email newsletter. We’re on Facebook and MySpace. So, no matter
where you are, we’re trying to make it easy to find your classmates and
stay in touch with Cambridge and CCS.
Through the generous donations of alumni, we are able to present the first annual CCS Alumni Association Scholarships. These awards go to CCS seniors who have demonstrated a caring for and commitment to school and community during their high school career. The 2009 recipients are

Light of Knowledge followed the awarding of prizes. The hot, humid evening
drew to a close as the Class of 2009 paraded out, already mentally
preparing for the graduation ceremony tomorrow evening and the graduation
parties to follow. |
