WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Speakers have been selected for the Mount Greylock Regional School's 2023 graduation ceremony, which will be held on Saturday, June 10, at 11 a.m. in the Mount Greylock gymnasium.
Principal Jacob Schutz submitted this information about class speakers Altan McIntosh and Molly Sullivan.
McIntosh, the son of Shawn and Naren McIntosh of Williamstown, was chosen by his classmates to speak at graduation. Respected and highly regarded by his peers, he is a mature, charismatic and thoughtful young man who has proven to be a natural leader in the school.
His inquisitive nature has served him well at Mount Greylock, having earned top marks in some of its most rigorous courses, including, upon graduation, eight Advanced Placement classes. As a dedicated member of our school community, McIntosh has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of clubs and organizations at Mount Greylock. He serves on the Student Council, and is also an active member of Register Educate Vote (REV), the Multicultural Student Union, the Youth Environmental Squad, the Student Athletic Advisory Council and is a co-founder of the Chess Club. He has demonstrated his leadership abilities on the cross country running and tennis teams, as a peer team member, and as the selected delegate to represent Mount Greylock at Boys State.
In the fall, McIntosh will be studying political science and economics at Northeastern University.
Sullivan, the daughter of Erin and Noelle Sullivan of Williamstown, was chosen by the Mount Greylock faculty to speak at graduation. She has earned the highest respect from the teachers who have worked with her due to her kind, compassionate nature and her determination to succeed.
She has demonstrated her ability to master challenging coursework, and, upon graduation, will have successfully completed seven Advanced Placement courses and a dual enrollment course at Williams College. Sullivan is heavily involved in the school community serving as a leader on the Student Council, the Student Athletic Advisory Council, the Multicultural Student Union, Register Educate Vote (REV), peer team and was named the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper. As the captain for both the varsity soccer and basketball teams, she is an all-star, competitive athlete who demonstrates a level of leadership and command that her fellow teammates gravitate towards.
Sullivan will be attending Tufts University in the fall, studying international relations and civics.

Letter: Trial Shows Trump's Character
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
The trial of Donald Trump in Manhattan might seem like a matter of legal technicalities, but I think it's really important in another way. It has shown us clearly the character of Trump and the Republican party he now dominates.
He denies that he had sex with Stormy Daniels, even when this obvious lie hurts his case and has little to do with the charges against him. He demands that others show their loyalty by repeating his lies, as Michael Cohen did for years. His ego is so brittle that he has an aide who prints out favorable stories about him to keep him occupied and calm while in court.
Meanwhile, a parade of Republican elected officials, keen to fluff their leader, have left their jobs in Washington to drop in and pronounce their disdain for the trial and the court.
In 2015, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said, "If the Republicans nominate Trump for President he will destroy the Republican Party and we will have deserved it!" Although Graham has since joined the Trump sycophants, nine years ago he was prophetic.
The party has become a shameless cult engaged in undermining our constitutional principles. It will only begin to heal if it loses in November.
