Sprayberry's 1981 Senior class participated in the Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, May 31, at Roswell Street Baptist Church. A warm welcome was given by Rev. Joe Estes. The chorus, led by Doc Michels and accompanied by Candi Raines and Jeff Poteat, sang The Lord Bless You and Keep You. The highlight of the ceremony was an enlighten- ing speech presented to the class by Ms. Sandy Case, an English teacher at Sprayberry. Tears came to the eyes of many seniors and members of the audience as she told them, Have trust in something, have trust in others, and have trust in yourself.

GRADUATION PREPARATION K Seniors spend days, weeks, and months getting ready for two very special hours on June sixth. Late in the summer last year, upcoming seniors had their senior portraits made. In the fall and winter, seniors ordered caps, gowns, and announcements. Every quarter a few seniors sweated through tinal exams, requiring that course to graduate. Late in May, the senior gowns arrived, signifying that the year was coming to a close. Following a week of graduation practice, after the gowns are pressed, and the bags are packed tor Daytona, the Senior Class ot 1981 is ready to graduate.
