For those of you wondering what albino alligators have to do with graduating seniors, Algonquin class valedictorian Alexander Silver explains (via TheDailyNorthborough.com):
“You are very much like albino alligators,” Silver said in a surprise comparison. “You all stand out in a cool way. Each of you is an individual, better defined from the rest for going to this school. Like the albino alligator, once you get a tenacious grip on something you don’t let go. You also have qualities that will serve you well – dedication and charisma.”
