Seniors showed their loyalty May 29 when over 130 gradu- ates danced and dined at La Fontaine Bleu on Class Night.- Dinner, served buffet style, included such savory fare as lasagna, seafood Newburg, fried chicken, and roast beef. Highlights of the evening included music by Apricot Bran- dy and the reading of the senior wills, at which time mem- bers of the Class of '79 were left something of personal value- some tangible, some intangible-which distinguished the individual qualities of the recipients. What particularly characterized Class Night was the har- mony which surfaced among such a diverse senior class-truly a mark of their legacy.

Services Convey Benedictiong Centennial's first baccalaureate service was held on May 24 at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium. The seniors entered in a procession to the strains of Chopin's Military polo- niase and took their seats. After a few welcoming words from Mr. Bastress, the invocation was delivered by the Rev- erend Edward Rich. The service proceeded with a sermon given by the Reverend Albert Burkhardt, and concluded with the benediction by the Reverend Brian Rafferty. During the ceremony special presentations were given by members of the senior class: the senior members of the chorus caroled Pass It On in honor of the occasiong Ric Ryder sang The Lord's Prayer g and Jill Orton sang the class song that she had composed entitled Sing To Me A Song. After the baccalaureate service, Centennial's PTSA held a reception to honor graduates and their families. The re- ception provided a relaxed atmosphere in which all could reflect upon what had been said during the ceremony and also on events to come. . r . 3' , ef- A, ,ff Vids, S as Baccalaureate 207
