Between schoolwork, practice and holding a job, Dillon Slaven often found himself squeezing everything he could from each day.
Burning the candle at both ends?
Slaven blasted his with a blowtorch.
“I may not miss the early mornings and late nights,” the Iola High School senior admitted as he winds up the school year. “But I’m definitely going to miss high school, being around friends, playing sports.”
Slaven’s unceasing dedication to all things IHS culminates Saturday with his high school graduation. He is one of eight members of the Class of 2021 to have earned a 4.0 grade-point average.
