Oil City took a different approach, but they made it

Oil City was the last of the four Venango County graduations I covered. At Franklin, Cranberry and Rocky Grove I saw a return to "normalcy" with very little evidence of a concern for COVID-19. Of the three graduations I'd guess no more than a dozen masks were worn. There was social distancing protocols at Rocky and Franklin, not so much at Cranberry, but Oil City was still on high COVID alert as they sent 167 of their own off into the future.

Masks, social distancing, fist bumps instead of handshakes(mostly), changing the way people sat in the stands and layout of the student body on the football had all been thought out to keep everyone safe.

2021 has been a strange year.

Nothing can be sugar-coated about the year. A week on, a couple days cyber, back on, then a couple days cyber.  This class had to endure it all and still look towards their futures. With the class positioned facing their school in stead of the crowd, families went to both sides of the field to keep socially distanced.

Students were asked to wear masks and probably 85% did. The administrators placed themselves so to keep a socially distanced protocol and they elected the fist bump over the handshake.

This wasn't their typical graduation, but they did it!
