(eleven) Miss Kndebrock Mrs. Adams Mr. Vequlst Miss Wooderson Chairman The class of ’54 has been blessed with a group of sponsors willing to see them through any project however arduous. Money-making schemes, class programs, the prom at the Robidoux, are some of the “assists” already to their credit. This year with the up and coming concessions crew they put out such vigorous and sustained effort as to make possible the new features of this year’s annual. This spring, sponsors and class officers together will plan the “specials” for an outstanding class day and commencement program. CONCESSIONS CREW
