The way if will be Transition. A move from the frigid, tense gray floors and glare of the classroom to the congenial carpeted chambers of the newly completed English wing. Switching from antiquated , bureaucratic , manual scheduling to sleek computer scheduling. A different set of graduation requirements greeted the classes of '79 and '80 and the academic departments expanded to enable students to meet them . A Maryland state law mandated that all courses would be offered co-educationally for the first time. The reins of authority were loosened when students were granted freedom through a daily ten minute break period and weekly advisory groups. There were new social ventures. The Thanksgiving Dance and Dance Marathon raised dollars not for school organizations , but for community charities. There was also a new administrative assistant and the addition of Girls JV softball and volleyball. Seniors anticipated being catapulted into the world and freshmen and sophomores who lived south of Route 40 and west of Route 29 prepared the initiation rites for Centennial High School's maiden year. It was a year of preparation and adjustment. It was transition. Ne fi ,Z . I, X, PROLOGUE 3
