Spring Grove Area High School graduate Melanie Zavatchan leans over to move the tassel of her friend Carly Smith, to indicate Smith’s new status as a high school graduate, at the conclusion of the commencement ceremony on Friday, June 1, 2012. Smith suffered a traumatic brain injury when she was in the third grade, and Zavatchan has remained her friend and led fundraisers in support of her.
