That is exactly what I thought when I saw these beautiful people.
They were so stunning that their presence brighten the room the banquet was
held. Every school year, LCHS tributes the Juniors and Seniors with a banquet to
celebrate them, and to honor the seniors who will be graduating.
A few students had dates which was encouraged.

The banquet started at 7 pm. The students had the chance to meet
with each other to showcase their beautiful attires as well as catch up.
Shortly we prayed and we were served appetizers. The main course followed
shortly and then dessert; the food was delicious.
We had a superb
kitchen crew who prepared the food and the sophomore class did the serving.
Thanks to these people and without them, the banquet wouldn't have been a
success. Also, special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Leland for orchestrating the event.

Heidi Morton, the guest speaker shared some words of encouragement. She spoke about change and the changes she went
through from leaving her job in LCHS to getting married. She said change can be
scary and she described a time when her husband traveled to take care of some
family matter. She was lonely, missed her friends and family and was livid with
God because of the changes she wasn't accustomed to. After many days of been angry, she allowed God to speak to her
and He reminded her of 2 Cor. 12:10 where Paul wrote "My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." She also
read some of her wedding cards and found comfort in one particularly which
encouraged her to remember that Christ will always be her first love despite
all the changes she will be going through.
She concluded her speech by encouraging the seniors to put Christ
first as they prepare to leave Lustre to wherever God calls them and for the
juniors to be diligent in pursuing Christ as they enter their senior year.

Geneva and Evan shared the
senior prophecy which by the way was very hilarious. The prophesy is a fictional
story of what is suppose to happen to the seniors when they graduate High School. Mack Young also shared the Senior Will which is something the seniors give to the teachers, Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors. My favorite was the senior class gave Mr. Butler 'The Definition of Art'. Go figure that one.

Also congratulations to Joyce a.k.a Fang Li who got inducted into the National Honor Society for her academic excellence, leadership and service commitment. Joyce is always studying even when the dorm goes out for a dorm activity. She is the dorm nerd but we love her. 1 Cor. 1:20 says "Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
I pray that Joyce and others like her will not only seek earthly knowledge but knowledge and wisdom from knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus.
