OCHS Students Mourn Loss of Classmate

Candlelight vigil held Saturday night in memory of Nick Marchant.

Hundreds of students gathered late Saturday night to hold a candlelight vigil in remembrance of their classmate, Nick Marchant, who died Oct. 22.

Students held candles and huddled near the entrance of the school. A deafening silence was broken only by sobbing and sniffing.

At 10:15 p.m., three balloons - one red, one white, one blue - were released into the sky as students held their candles high.
