Good morning and welcome to the graduation ceremony of Odessa High School’s class of 2015. Thank you for being here on this very special day.

Over those past four years, we did everything we could to make high school fun, challenging and exciting. We believe t...

Graduation parties, reunion picnics and family barbeques can fill a June calendar quickly. Salads are on the menu, and all are ideal for summer dining events. Twist Tuna Salad, from the collection of the late Mrs. Rueben (Elizabeth) Fink, can serve as a side or main dish salad.
