The banquet ended with a farewell song, Now is the Hour , sung by the graduands. After the banquet all graduands and their escorts preceeded to our school auditorium for the grand finali. Never before was the auditorium so colorfully displayed contributing to a lively dancing mood for all. Blue and white streamers flowed out from a large silver star in the center of the ceiling. Smaller silver stars and blue stars bearing the names of the grads, hung from the streamers. When the lights were turned out and the orchestra played a dreamy waltz, a moonlight mood was shared by all when the tiny blue lights, outlining a large star in the center of the auditorium, were flicked on. The beautiful silver streamer s which adorned the stage also added a brilliance to the decorations that set the perfect atmosphere for a perfect evening.
