Friends School Centennial Graduation Zuhdi Hashweh, class of 1929 Photo by skip schiel Continued from page # 1 The commencement ended with a most moving ceremony commemorating the beginning of the 2 nd centennial era of graduates. A passing of the torch service involving 10 of our Alumni, each representing a decade, was most touching. Our graduate of 1929, Mr. Zuhdi Hashweh, lead the procession of 10 Alumni onto the stage, each lighting their candle from our 1 st centennial torch. The light was then passed to our 2006 graduates who in turn passed it on to our Principals, future graduate (our 11 th grader Jamal Bajali), FUM Interim Secretary General (Sylvia Graves) and Citizenship award recipient (Zaki Saadeh). Together and with much anticipation, they lit up the Friends School Second Centennial torch receiving the warm applause of the audience. The ceremony ended with the singing of the school song and later a reception which included a cake listing the names of all our 82 graduates was held. One hundred balloons were finally released into the skies – each representing one graduation class at FBS -- starting in 1906 and ending in 2006. It was certainly an afternoon that brought much pride to all and that I’m certain will be remembered by many for years to come!
