First Class Fling The Senior Banquet, held at Valle’s Steak House on Friday, May 1, was a tre- mendous success. Not only was the en- tertainment excellent, but the enthusiasm and spirit of the seniors matched the suc- cess of the night. As always, complaints about food are expected and the chief's banquet was no exception. ‘‘The tea has no flavor’ or “My steak isn’t cooked’’ were common outcrys by Monacan seniors. The culinary part of the evening passed and the enter- tainment followed. Tucker Wright shared his vocal talent with the Class of ’81. The singer-guitarist performed several tunes including his own version of ‘‘Teach Your Children’ Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s hit song. Next was Amy McGonigle singing an original song written by Suzanne En- field; along with a slide presentation of the school and its great senior class. Joan McEwen announced the senior su- perlative; Gina Fletcher, and Mark Tuck received Best All Around. The Class Tes- tator, Tonya Shirey presented the stu- dent’s humorous ‘‘Last Will And Testa- ment’ followed by Mr. Bill Broaddus read- ing the teacher’s ‘“‘Last Will And Testa- ment.’’ Danny Sloan, class prophet pre- sented the prophesy, informing each stu- dent of the crazy antics they would be involved in ten years from now. The Senior Banquet was a memorable experience that the seniors can cherish forever. 92 Senior Banquet Take it away, Tucker Senior Tucker Wright pro- vides entertainment at the banquet as he sings “Teach your Children’’ by Crosby, Stills, Nash, ana Young.

As part of the yearly ritual, Monacan seniors marched into Bon Air Baptist Church to take part in the solemn occa- sion. The solemnity provided a stark contrast to the laxity of the Senior Banquet and other pre-graduation events. Rev. John E. Leonard told the ’81 seniors that their use- fulness to soceity could be 94 Baccalaurate measured by their capacity to “love unconditionally.”’ The baccalaurate reminded the seniors that they would soon be separated, as well as the duties they were acquiring as they entered the adult world. a ED Voices Raised.
