  • Class of 2013 -- celebrating seniors at Adams City, Prairie View high schools

    HENDERSON — Prairie View High School senior Dylan Smith says he believes life is to be lived in the moment, a philosophy formed while going to school while living with a chronic form of spinal arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis.
        Smith has spent much of the last two semesters receiving chemotherapy, recovering from his injections and the resulting nausea and fatigue and trying to keep up with his classes.
        “When I first started (getting chemotherapy), we made the mistake of doing it on Mondays, and I’d miss the whole week of school,” he said. “So now we’ve switched it to where I’ll get the injections on Friday so I’m just sick the weekend and Monday or Tuesday so I can still come and make up as much as I can.”
