<p>[KHS</a> Valedictorian and Salutatorian are preparing for take-off](<a href=“http://www.meredithnhnews.com/Articles-c-2009-06-04-148722.113119_KHS_Valedictorian_and_Salutatorian_are_preparing_for_takeoff.html]KHS”>meredithnhnews.com)</p>
<p>"George Weigold, Kennett’s salutatorian, admits that he, too, has done work in some unusual environments. “This morning I wrote my National Honor Society induction speech at McDonalds,” he laughs. </p>
<p>Time is precious when you’re as occupied as these two 18-year-olds have been over the past four years. Katy, who loves English in school, dedicates most of her free time to community theatre, like the plays she does with M&D Productions. </p>
<p>George, who excels at math and physics, spends most of his free time playing hockey and baseball for Kennett. He’s been captain of the hockey team for two years now. </p>
<p>For their Ear interview, Katie, from Conway, and George, from Bartlett, sit together in a Kennett High conference room. They’ve both been pulled out of classes that couldn’t sound more suited to them: Katie from creative writing and George from CAD, or computer aided drafting. “People always told me that I’d be valedictorian,” says Katie, who received the freshman trophy for highest GPA four years ago. “But I always thought it would be George, because he’s so smart.”</p>
<p>“Yeah, but you dominate me in English,” George says quickly. Then he smiles and groans. “Are we going to do that again?” he asks, referring to an earlier interview where they both cede the title of smartest to each other. They laugh. . . . (continued)</p>

<p>Congratulations to both–and to George, welcome to Princeton!</p>
