Four Ossining (NY) seniors HARVARD bound (news item)

<p>The Riverhawks' blood will run crimson at this evening's graduation ceremony. Four seniors are headed for Harvard University in the fall, giving the high school a total of eight students accepted at the prestigious college in the past four years.</p>

<p>Yang Li, Zehra Hirji, Ryan Williams and Sarah Joselow all received the proverbial fat envelope from Harvard and other schools.</p>

<p>"They're so multi-talented and conscientious," said English teacher Maureen Cohen, who taught all four. "They're as nice as they are brilliant. They give 1000 percent to everything they do."</p>

<p>All four turned down offers from other schools.</p>

<p>"I was so surprised," Williams said. "I'd gotten into Princeton a day earlier, but Harvard was Harvard. No one's a shoe-in."</p>

<p>If there were shoe-ins for the most prominent, best endowed research university in the country, it'd be these rare students.... </p>

<p>(Their various exploits recounted)</p>
