When the approximately 350 members of the Warwick High School (WHS) Class of 2019 gather with family, friends, and school faculty and staff for commencement at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, on Tuesday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m., four students will speak at the gathering. Class president Oliver Lance will address the class, along with Heather Mitchell, Tony Rago, and Jocelyn Brechbill, who were selected by audition. Lance is the son of Wendy and Jay Lance of Lititz. He has titled his speech “Live Life in a World of Legos.” “I relate life to building with Legos,” explained Lance. “(One) can follow instructions to make the perfect Lego structure, but it’s much more fun when (one has) an idea (to) build something from the ground up. It is so
much cooler when you can build something of your own,” he said. In addition to serving as class president, Lance is the membership chair of National Honor Society (NHS). He is also a member of the French Honor Society, National English Oliver Lance Honor Society (NEHS), National Science Honor Society (NSHS), Tri-M Music Honor Society, UNITE, and the WHS swim team. He plays the cello in the school orchestra. After graduating, Lance plans to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh to study information systems, which combines business and

computer science in one major. Lance hopes to eventually go into computer development or work in the business field. Mitchell is the daughter of Josephine and William Mitchell of Lititz. She has titled her speech, which was inspired by the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest
Jocelyn Brechbill
Henley, “Unconquerable and Unafraid.” “The gist of it is using your defeats and fears to propel yourself forward (rather than) holding you back,” she said. At school, Mitchell serves as president of the French Honor Society, an officer in NSHS, vice president of See Graduation pg 8
