kaleidoscope of Americals past deeds, or even has been spoken of in terms of Ameri- ca's future. Greece played one role in 1976 by combining the excitement of a birthday celebra- tion with the glories of America's past to produce the Bicentennial parade. Over 500 students participated from 19 schools, each of which were asked to represent a part of our history. The elementary schools became our 13 original colonies, the junior highs represented historical periods in the l800'sg and the senior highs recreated the l900's. Led by chairpersons Donna Essegian and Paul Schiffman, Arcadia used a float as a means to propel the spectators back to the early 1900's, where the heavy influx of immigration had begun. Appreciation for our history, pride in America, and perhaps, a look to the future were the vital ingredients in our Bicentennial Parade.

A weekend for some no different than the weekend before it or the weekend after it, but for Arcadians, a weekend that was special.
