Seniors Feast On Crabs And Mallets banged as seniors tore open their crabs at the Senior Crab Feast, the first event sponsored by the Class of '79 in their last year at Centennial. Held on October 6 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the cafeteria, the Crab Feast was attended by both seniors and faculty members. X The event was organized by the Senior Board in an attempt to bring the Senior Class together for the first time. The percentage of seniors present was small, but spirits were high and a good time was bad by those who attended. The feast was the opening senior event and one of the many traditions that the Class of '79 initiated. ABOVE: Several members of the Senior Class arrived early and helped set up the cafeteria and prepare the crabs. Each ticket en- titled a person to six crabs and one soda. Sam Steen and Jane Beres- ford quickly wrap crabs in newspaper before the first seniors ar- rive.
