For the first time possibly ever, a group of Naylor High School seniors didn't gather in the familiar confines of the school gymnasium on graduation night. Instead, the Black River Coliseum was the scene as the most unusual school year in history officially came to an end for the 29-member graduating class. Congratulations and best wishes for success.
