The Baccalaureate service was held on May 17 at 2:00. Rev. Jerry Griffin of the Christian Church was guest speaker. The BHS Women's Ensemble sang What Will the World Be Like Tomorrow.” Candy Reams and Tracy Durham and pianist. Lynne Adams accompanied the oth- er girls. On May 19. hands shook and hearts thumped as the class awaited the presentation of their diplomas. But. as they crossed the stage, moved their tassies to the right and turned their class rings, grins from ear to ear could be seen every- where. Then, as they marched out the door, several caps were caught in the wind while screams and yells carried for miles around. THEY GOT OUT IN '81!
