 Anthems will be offered by the Baccalaureate Concert Choir, under the direction of Mr. Donald Lord. The choir will perform "The Last Words of David" (Thompson), accompanied by Bonnie Scheurman '82, and "The Sun Declines" (Matthews).

Following the choir will will be a meditation by the Reverend James W. Jackson of Christ Church of Des Plaines. The hymn, "God of Our Fathers" (Roberts-Warren), will follow the meditation.
