Each year since 1966, the graduation party/dance has been themed. In 1966, the theme was "Hip Hop". Blach school was very lucky to have a visit from a famous rock group: "The Regimentals". Many of the decorations for that dance included abstract pieces of origional art. The eight grade graduates received sandwiches, punch, cookies and brownies for refreshments.
Up until the early 80's the graduation ceremony was held in the area where rooms 14-19 now exist. Before that wing was built, there was a wooden stage and ampetheater. When the wing was put in, the stage in the quad was built, and the graduation cememony was moved to that location
