... Senior Officers CLASS OFFICERS, SPONSORS— Left: Pres.,Bill Brooner; Sponsors, Miss Reardon, Miss Elliott, Mrs. Giddens; Vice-Pres., Peggy Gabriel. Not in photo: Miss Sellers, sponsor; Sheryl Mason, Secy. The outstanding accomplishments of the class of '55 can he attributed largely to the fine leadership given by their four faculty sponsors. Their eagerness and willingness to help are equalled only by the zeal of the class officers themselves. These fine groups with their never ending enthusiasm have given the class of 1955 a memorable Junior prom, and skating parties. And now in our last year, we can look forward to an outstanding senior day and commencement program under the direction of these capable leaders. CONCESSIONS CREW Left: Janis Jessee, Dale Sauter, Marvin Colburn, Ron- nie Meng, Ralph Sandlin. Carl Holzhauser, Ronnie Lane, Dorothy Davenport, June Ball. To the concessions crew, sponsored by Mr. Stinson, we wish to give special tribute, for without them this book could not be published. Though they were few in number, they were always Johnny on the spot” with good things-to-eat on sale at all the home football and basketball games. (eleven)
