"Rooting for Peace: Go Peace, Grow Peace," the 2011 Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship conference, will be held Feb. 18-20 at Bluffton University.

Imagine yourself at the Bluffton High School commencement for the class of 2028. Chances are good to excellent that there will be several girls named Mya and Grace.

For example, you'll find Jackson, Jacob, Jonah, Julius, Joshua, Jordan and so on.
