Doors will open at 6 p.m. Admission will be by ticket only, and each student will receive six tickets to distribute to family members and friends. Due to the class size this year, no extra tickets will be available, and there will not be a waiting list. The ceremony will be streamed online, and a recording will be shown on Comcast 66 on Friday, June 7, at 6 p.m. Information about the livestream will be posted
at www.hempfieldsd.org/hhs. A baccalaureate service has been set for 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 2, at Hempfield United Methodist Church, 3050 Marietta Ave., Lancaster. Students Jackson Fogel, Ruby Mundok, Andrew Jordan, and Bronwyn Meldrum have been selected to speak during commencement. The topic will be “Unique, Yet United.” Ruby noted that she has structured her speech to be relevant to everyone in attendance. “We are united as a community, more than just a school,” she said. Likewise, Jackson will also appeal to a broader audience. “(My speech is on) how we experience life, the connections we make along the way, and how it can bring people together regardless of the differences they might face,” he remarked.

Long’s Park Concert Series To Highlight Well-Known Music
Servant Stage Company (SSC) will present the Broadway classic “My Fair Lady” at Millersville University’s Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center, 60 W. Cottage Ave., Millersville, on select dates from Friday, May 31, through Saturday, June 15. Lerner and Loewe’s award-winning story of a Cockney flower seller transformed into an elegant lady is widely considered one of the greatest musicals of all time. When Professor Henry Higgins tries to teach Eliza Doolittle how to speak like a proper lady, an unlikely friendship begins to flourish. Notable songs from the musical include “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” and “On the Street Where You Live.” See My Fair Lady pg 2
