Directed by Mr. Day Lee who was assisted by President Richard Gebhardr and composed of 53622 of the school the Second Cen- tury Committee acts as the school s hospitality commit- tee at major school functions. This year these events included Parents Day the Father and Son Dinner and Alumni Day. On these occasions the duties performed were: helping with registration and parking serving refreshments and cleaning up. The Second Century Committee also assumes the responsibility of showing prospective students around the school.
