HERE'S TO THE FUTURE With a duet well-rehearsed. Michele Turner and Lonnie Smith sing Friends '. Baccalaureate; a spe- cial time for seniors just before graduation. A church service is held prior to each graduation to bless the class as they enter into the big world'' and go their sepa- rate ways. For the first time in Ma- zama's history, the cere- mony was moved off- campus to the Shasta Way Christian Church. The service began to the music of the Mazama Chamber Orchestra play- ing the Canon in D by Jo- hann Pachelbell. Co- President Leah McGuire gave an opening prayer to all of her classmates and guests. A solo by Erin Rogers, and duet by Michelle Turner and Lon- nie Smith were then brought before the audi- ence. The themes were Showing Us The Way,'' and Friends. Pastor Lee Shafer then gave a message entitled Here's To The Future.'' The message was about the story of life, how you had to have faith in others to live and make it strong. Desert Pete was his ex- ample of a man whom lived in the desert and built a well to draw water from. You were a traveler without water. There was a note attached to the well reading: Dig and you will find one bottle of water, lubricate the well with this water and pump like crazy. You will get all the water you need, and some left to refill the bot- tle. You had to have faith that the person be- fore you had done this and the people after you should have faith also. The well operated on faith. He concluded that you should have faith in one another and in your- self to succeed. Mazama Advanced Choir followed with Alleluia, and the benediction concluding the service was led by Sa- lutatorian Jennifer McGee. The seniors were now fully prepared to meet their upcoming ob- stacles in life, and to go on with dreams of high. Delivering the Benediction is class co-president Jenni- fer McGee. McGee was also the Salutatorian. Singing Alleluia are members of the Advanced Choir. 180 - Baccalaureate
