SENIOR DELEGATES The Senior Delegates, pictured above, form the steering committee of the Class of 1954. These delegates, a boy and a girl from each senior home room, meet regularly with their class advisor, Mrs. Rose Iodice, and the six senior officers. At these meetings they discuss all impending class business, plan for future activities, and report any ideas and suggestions from the students in their home rooms. They must also report back to the home rooms just what transpired at the meetings. In this way everyone in the Senior class is well informed as to current happenings in Bassick. Another important duty of these delegates is to collect class dues, because it is from these dues that all class expenditures are met. With so much work entailed in making 1954 the successful year that it was, a great vote of thanks must be given to Mrs. Iodice and the Senior Delegates. 14 17 A44
