Central Lutheran Church will be the place where Baccalaur eate is going to be held on June 3 at 7:30, although in-school services were voted down by many of the seniors because they felt that they weren’t needed. One of the reasons that these students wanted Baccalaureate was that they felt that it was a traditional and needed part of Graduation, even though not everyone will attend. At the service there will be only one guest speaker in the program, instead of many, as in the past. Roland Boyce, advisor for Campus Life, is the speaker.
