2 Hawks to serve nation following commencement

Class of 2015 receives diplomas Friday
By: 

When Shawano Community High School seniors receive their diplomas Friday, some will be thinking about college, or technical school or getting a job.

Two graduates, Mary VanScoik and Jory Peebles, will continue family traditions by joining the military.

VanScoik will become the first woman in her family to enlist. She will join the Marine Corps and before long depart for basic training in Paris Island, South Carolina.

She is the daughter of Jim and Lisa VanScoik.

VanScoik’s grandfather and father served in the Army, two uncles were in the Navy, and a cousin was a Marine.

“My family is extremely proud and happy for me,” she said.

At SCHS, VanScoik was vice president of VICA and involved in hockey.

Peebles is joining the Air Force Reserve and will head to Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas, for basic training.

“A lot of my family has been in the armed forces,” Peebles said. “My grandpa, my uncle, my great-uncle and a couple other distant family members.”

He is the son of Jesse Peebles and Sandra Welch.

Peeble has been very active in the Landstad 4-H Club and serves on its board of directors.

Both students are not ruling out continuing their education following their service commitments. Peebles is considering a career as a welder, and VanScoik is considering the legal services field.

Asked what they will remember most about high school, VanScoik said she will remember her friends, while Peebles won’t soon forget the recent visit by a few past and present Green Bay Packers.

Both remain anxious about military life.

“I am extremely nervous, but at the same time, I am excited to go out and start new things and be part of something that is bigger than myself,” VanScoik said.

“It is exhilarating, having the ability to serve your country is a great thing,” Peebles said. “Helping to keep this country safe is what it is all about.”

Leading the SCHS Class of 2015 at commencement will be valedictorian Cole Huntington and salutatorian Elena Bohm, who both plan to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Class president Madeline Schultz will be the student speaker.
