Thursday was a big day for a lot of people. Graduating seniors from both Natrona County High School and Roosevelt High School took to the Ford Wyoming Center stage to accept their diplomas and begin the next chapter of their lives.
For the audience, graduations are somewhat of a slog. But for those young men and women accepting their diplomas, it’s the most important day of their lives up to that point.
As it should be. Graduation day is the next step. The next chapter. The start of a brand-new story. It’s an acknowledgment of what students have accomplished and what they will accomplish. It’s a celebration, that’s all. And we were proud to be able to photograph it.
In this issue of The Breeze, we’ve got photos from NCHS’s and Roosevelt High School’s graduation ceremonies. We’ve also got photographs from the first First Thursday event of the summer season.
And, as always, we’ve got the weather. Friday is rainy. Very, very rainy. Temps will be between 51 and 66 degrees. Windspeeds will be between 2 and 9 mph, with that Breeze gusting at up to 16 mph.
And speaking of The Breeze…

It was a top-five moment in their lives, and Oil City News was there to document it all in its entirety. There were hugs, there were cheers, there were speeches and there were tears.

David Street Station Headlines First Thursday
Despite the rain, First Thursday went more or less as planned, and David Street Station featured two bands who brought the proverbial house down. Both The Flashback Band and Pleasure People rocked the Brian Scott Gamroth Stage and once the sun came out, so, too, did the people. And we’ve got the pics to prove it.
