When it comes to their planned majors, shared interests and friendship with each other, you might say that Cara M. Hernon and Olivia M. Woods have good chemistry.

“I’m going to Miami University in Oxford in the fall to major in chemistry and I hope to go to medical school to be a doctor one day,” Woods said, adding that she is leaning toward being a pediatrician.

But first things first: Woods needed to earn her high-school diploma, which she did during Thursday’s Warren G. Harding High School commencement at W.D. Packard Music Hall, 1703 Mahoning Ave. NW.

In addition to being one of 268 graduates who took home diplomas, Woods was her class’s salutatorian and a National Honor Society member.

Hernon, class valedictorian, is planning to attend the University of Tampa in Tampa, Fla., to major in chemistry and marine science.

During their high school days, the two friends also were on the swim and tennis teams. Hernon was the tennis team’s captain and cherished competing in the two sports.
