008everyone and thank you for being here today i can remember vividly the last time i saw my classmates face to face exactly two months ago today we sat across from each other as the minutes of seventh hour ticked down the last time we would be in that classroom we joked with each other some with tears in our eyes amid fears of it being the last laugh we would get to share in the presence of each other we hoped that everything would return to normal soon in order to experience the moments we had been waiting for for so long we never expected that it would actually be the last time we would hug each other laugh about mr white saying it's monday all day until it's not or be stressed about one of nuber's many writing
009assignments stress that us procrastinators always brought upon ourselves before the final battle of our senior year rang i took a picture so i would never forget that moment it was a picture of four girls i had spent the last four years getting to know sharing laughs tears smiles and knowing looks we have all had entirely different experiences from one another throughout high school different interests different successes and different disappointments but while this new challenge kovid might affect each of us in a different way it is a challenge we all have in common it is a challenge to come to terms with the fact that the ending we were promised was ripped away from us and is completely out of our control it is a challenge to miss out on the memories that we were expected
010to be making right now and it is a challenge to find the closure that we that allows us to move on with our lives and into the next chapter but it is a challenge we will overcome how we face this challenge and every challenge that will come our way in the future is what defines us as a class as a whole and as people individually i am honored to be standing up here today with two other amazing young women an accomplishment i am very proud of but as a runner i know that each individual's race is their own to run and so i say to all of you that you too should be proud of all the things you have achieved no matter how large or small they may seem to anyone else never let
011a challenge be the end of your dreams let this challenge and all others make you stronger learn to appreciate the little things when all the big ones are gone we have come this far we are adapting we are jumping the obstacles that have been placed in our path we are staring into the face of adversity but we must make the choice every single day to get up and fight through let every day that you get up and move forward be your own accomplishment looking back i wish i had captured more memories and more moments with the people who made such an impact on me as a friend a student and a person as i did with that picture on the last day but for now i will remember the good times and wish each of
012you an exciting and successful next step in your lives take advantage of the little moments remember that you will never know when that last time will be the last so take advantage and capture those moments permanently allow yourself to be in the moment because you will never get it twice thank you to every teacher counselor coach friend and most especially my parents for shaping me into the person i am today we did it class of 2020 and i could not be prouder to call myself a k-hawk thank you for the thoughtful address mckenna it is now my honor to welcome faith liljagren to the podium faith is the daughter of mike lildragren and kelly lilgrin thank you mr snyder and thank you everyone for joining us today i'm willing to bet that like me the
013most important lessons you all learned while attending collinsville high school did not occur in the classroom rather they occurred at 1am while you were struggling to finish the homework assignment that was due three days ago they occurred while standing in the student section screaming along to a chant with your best friends they occurred while in the midst of an argument with seemingly the most important person in your life they occurred each night when you were forced to take off the mask you wore every day at school and face the very real struggles of your reality there is the lesson of respect that teaches us to appreciate the authority beauty and meaning behind each and every action a lesson that you must first learn to feel within yourself before you can share with others then the
014lesson of fight and drive that teaches us the importance of persisting through battles and overcoming hardships there is the lesson of what it truly means to cherish to treasure and adore all the bonds that filled us with so much love and laughter and the events that made us feel as though we own the world but my favorite lesson the lesson of resilience that teaches us to never break and with each fall no matter how big or small to always rise to our feet again though i do not believe maintaining a certain gpa qualifies me any more than any of you i will leave you with this as we are only just beginning this life when you feel as though it is too hard and there are ceaseless obstacles in your way do not panic understand
015that everything we have endured throughout our four years here has prepared us to face the world with confidence and power remember how far respect will take you how you are equipped with a sense of fight and drive that is relentless how important it is to stop and cherish never forgetting how blessed you are and how no one can take away your ability to get back up again no matter how long you have been down the reality of change is inevitable as we will soon be consumed by the real world though i hope when our journeys to conquer the world begin we do not let them change the good things about us i hope that with each decision we make in life we make them with grace and belief i hope that each and every one
016of us experience years far greater than these past four but most importantly i hope that leaving and moving on does not mean forgetting who has been up by our side guiding us encouraging us and healing us throughout the way thank you class of 2020 for contributing to my lessons and allowing me the privilege of calling all of you my friends thank you for the wonderful message faith it is now my pleasure to introduce claire ross daughter of joan and john ross thank you faith and mckenna and thank you class of 2020 for the opportunity to speak today going into this school year like each of you i expected to experience all the typical milestones for high school seniors going to sporting events attending homecoming prom graduation and of course stressing out about planning for the
017future but halfway through the first semester and long before the coveted 19 pandemic i realized that my senior year would be very atypical so only seems fitting that the closure of this year was atypical as well i'm usually not one to share my personal health stories however in october i began to experience serious health issues that led to the diagnosis of two autoimmune diseases when i heard the news i felt hopeless i struggled to keep my grades up and i struggled to find happiness although this seemed to be the hardest time in my life it taught me many lessons that i hope you may find valuable as well i realize that it's okay to not be okay it's okay to feel overwhelmed it's okay to not have everything completely figured out but more importantly i
018realize that it's okay to ask for help and never forget it's important to take care of yourself so in light of this current pandemic and as our senior class and senior classes all around the world go through this difficult time i want to share the importance of appreciating others and focusing on personal growth and seemingly hopeless times it's tough to get through things alone and it's important to thank people who help you along the way i would not be where i am today and i especially would not be giving a speech if it weren't for my friends classmates teachers administrators counselors and family helping me and supporting me along this journey class of 2020 we got through this school year we can and we will get through this pandemic as michelle obama said don't be
019afraid be focused be determined be hopeful be empowered i look forward to i look forward to seeing what our future brings and i can't wait to see each of you on the other side and now i would like to welcome our principal mr snyder to the stage thank you for the excellent message claire i am sure you all agree these young ladies were magnificent year at commencement exercises we recognize alumni of collinsville high school who have distinguished themselves after leaving chs mr gary piccola president of the board of education will present this year's chs alumni achievement award please welcome mr piccola to the podium thank you mr snyder today i have the honor of representing the board of education and we are very happy to be a part of this commencement ceremony graduation is definitely
020one of the highlights of the year for us at this time it is my privilege and pleasure to present the alumni achievement award to mr albert rubets iii mr rubet spent his youth in maryville during the great depression and attended maryville grade school he graduated from chs in 1946 and then joined the marines upon returning home he married rose ramatowski a 1948 graduate of chs and together they have four children seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren mr rubitz received a bachelor of science degree in geological engineering from the institute of technology st louis university in 1953. he is also a graduate of the advanced management program and the owner president program of the graduate school of business administration at harvard university in 1953 he joined the exploration department of continental oil company better known as conoco
021as a geophysicist and at age 34 was promoted to chief geophysicist of international exploration and production he was responsible for overseeing oil exploration on six continents and was personally responsible for discovering the major oil fields in dubai as well as what remains the largest gas field in southeast asia he then became executive assistant to the president and later had executive responsibility for integrated petroleum operations in the southern united states conoco's largest and most important profit center in 1972 mr rubets joined texas pacific oil company as senior vice president in 1975 he was named executive vice president and in 1978 became president and chief executive officer of texas pacific he took the company from an asset value of 736 million dollars to 2.3 billion dollars in less than two years in 1980 texas pacific was sold
022to sun oil company and mr rubets founded her roubette's oil company after personally raising 100 million dollars in a joint venture with international and domestic corporations as well as wall street investment firms mr rubits is a past director of the american petroleum institute the u.s oil and gas association and the independent patrolling association of america he has served an executive capacities and on the board of trustees for many prestigious professional associations and academic institutions he is a knight of malta and a night commander in the equestrian order of the holy sepulchre of jerusalem and a recipient of the alumni merit award from st louis university he was listed in who's who in finance and industry and outstanding young men of america in addition to having such a distinguished career in the oil and gas industry
023mr rubets is the author of two books maryville illinois growing up during the great depression and a geophysicist memoir searching for oil on six continents it is an honor for collinsville high school to announce mr albert rubets iii as this year's alumni achievement award recipient while mr rubitz was unable to be here in person he was gracious enough to provide us with the following message congratulations and best wishes on your graduation i attended collinsville high school during the world war two years when every graduating class went off to war but when the class of 1946 graduated the war was over and there was no one left to fight i had no money for college and all available jobs were taken by returning servicemen so i joined the marine corps the marines trained men to be
024the number one fighters in the world they drilled into us there was no objective we couldn't achieve i carried this philosophy with me after graduating from st louis university and joining a major oil company as a geophysicist i set my goal to be the number one geophysicist in the company why settle for second best to achieve my goal i studied technical books and journals every night and took related college correspondence courses i achieved my goal at an early age and became chief geophysicist international exploration and production responsible for worldwide oil exploration activities always go for number one setting goals in life is most important equally important is outlining the steps to reach it any strong persistent desire to get there nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course
025a man will succeed in anything about which he has real enthusiasm consider your career as a baseball field with three bases and home plate with home plate the idealized goal let's say high school graduates are all on base one a few will remain there others will take their job as a matter of course and eventually make it to second base some will put in a good deal of extra energy and make it to third base the person who strives to be number one will make it to home plate through continuing education hard honest persistent toil and enthusiasm the surest way to qualify for the job just ahead is to work a little harder than anyone else on the job one is holding down you can be anything you want to be if you have real
026enthusiasm and set your mind to it you're going to run into many obstacles during your career meet them head on and remember that adversity breeds strength one of my career advantages was growing up in maryville during the great depression our parents underwent difficult times and we children had very few material things but we organized our own activities and came out stronger hardships teaches self-reliance which serves as a shield throughout life life has an abundance of presence waiting for you to open enjoy them and i wish you well in all your endeavors graduating class of 2020 go out and get them congratulations to mr rubits on his prestigious honor and the excellent message to our kayhawk graduates we have several faculty members who will be retiring at the conclusion of the 2019-2020 school year their contributions

032apart from any school community i have ever been associated with i know in my heart these young ladies and gentlemen have a great deal to offer society academically as well as socially these students have been well prepared for their transition to college technical school the military and the workforce their preparation has been the result of special relationships and experiences with family friends classmates and faculty graduates watching at home i encourage you to acknowledge the positive support and influence of your parents guardians and teachers each year i share a few quotes with our graduates i have previously referenced famous people such as yogi berra thomas edison mahatma gandhi mike shashefsky and will rogers to name a few individuals today i'll share two quotes the first quote is not attributed to anyone in particular it reads as
033follows the difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do the next quote is from walt disney a well-known person across generations walt disney said the difference in winning and losing is most often not quitting graduates do not allow yourself to be a victim of the covid19 global pandemic and the experiences you have missed keep improving yourself at home work school and in the community be a lifelong learner and take action make a positive difference wherever you are graduates i encourage you to be empathetic and gracious to others during good times it is also impaired to be responsible and resilient during challenging times graduates i hope you pursue your dreams and aspirations and make a positive impact wherever you are in closing the collegeville high school class of 2020

035made it graduation is a major milestone in each of your lives and you should all be very proud of yourselves part of what makes being on the board rewarding for me is seeing and hearing about your many academic achievements your athletic accomplishments and your artistic talents but one of the things that really stands out for me is the amount of time that so many of you give to community service i am impressed by the many different ways you find to make a difference in our community some of those activities include fundraising and support for less fortunate families participating in community events such as the empty bowl and sos soup kitchen serving as mentors and role models for younger kayhawk students providing christmas gifts for students and their families collecting used college textbooks to send to
036africa making blankets for young patients at children's and shriners hospitals and outside of school you volunteer at your churches food pantries and with many other local civic organizations there are many more and i wish i had time to share them with you all these projects are very worthwhile and you are learning the importance of giving back to your community i know your lives are very busy and they will become even more so in the future but i would like to encourage each of you to look for ways to volunteer your time and talents in doing so you will be helping those less fortunate and making a positive impact on your community and along the way you may even make some new friends your contribution no matter how small or large will make a difference on
