A 106-year old Beverly, Massachusetts man can now call himself a high school graduate. According to the "Boston Globe," Fred Butler dropped out of school in eighth grade to help his family out with the bills. Apparently, the decision was something he always regretted. All that changed on Monday when Beverly High School honored Butler with a special ceremony where students from this year's graduating class presented him with an honorary diploma. Butler was grateful for the tribute and thanked "everybody who is responsible" for allowing him to feel like a graduate. He says that he "never expected to get anything like that." Cathy Bulter, one of Fred's relatives, says that although he never graduated, he "stands for all the values a high school community hopes to represent."
