Abnormal Sunday Caps, gowns, and programs in hand, Sandy Laura Sinclair gleefully hugs a friend on May Marte, Phyllis Hawkins, Mona Mason, and 30. Kecin Maloy discuss the just completed Baccalaureate service. It began like any other Sunday, I imagine, with kids sleeping in, going to church, or munching. It did not end like a normal Sunday. I was rilling down route 234 on May 30 about 3:05 in the afternoon. It was a beautiful, breezy day and about 75 degrees. There I was, minding my own business, when I passed this huge church, I read the marque: Manassas Baptist. Churches have al¬ ways fascinated me, and so did this one. I did a 180, almost caused an acccident, and drove back to the church. The lot was crammed full, which made me all the more curious about the church. Services at three in the afternoon? I walked in the foyer and stopped dead. I had stumbled on a Baccalaureate service, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were close to 200 gowns passing by in two long lines. I slipped in the back of the church after I had gotten over the impeessive sight. Memories of my Baccalaureate dribbled into my mind and admination for those kids began to build. They had taken the time out for something completely voluntary. You could tell they were ready to graduate . . . together. Baccalaureate 9
