    Seniors at West Hempstead High School were all smiles during their June 27 graduation ceremony.
    From the time they entered the Tilles Center, through speeches from administrators and wise words from peers, beyond the handshaked and exchange of diplomas to the moment they threw their caps in the air, the Class of 2010 graduates kept big smiles on their faces.
    Those smiles were shared by hundreds of family members, friends and school staff and faculty who rejoiced in the celebration.
