SENIOR BALL CO-CHAIRMENL Mary Dee Hurd and Steve Higgins SENIUR BALL The theme of the Senior Ball, Treasured Moments, Was planned and executed by co-chairmen Mary Dee Hurd and Steve Higgins. The date was May 9th and the scene was the Baye view Room of the Winthrop Hotel. While the couples swept dreamily around the dance floor, memories of the past three years flooded their minds. Misty-eyed seniors, remembering high school pro- jects, laughter, and tears, had these many precious moments to remember.
