THE SENIOR CLASS Seated: E. Boswell, N. Copley Standing: A. Moore, Miss Her, Nell Copley President Lib Boswell Vice-President W ITH the end of a brief summer intermission, the curtain rose on the last act of our own Class of ' 54 drama, comedy, and tragedy — hghted richly by friendship, growth, new interests, and deepening experiences. This was the cHmax, but with Tippy and Happy, our stage managers, and our wonder ful Miss Olive Her as director, we surely succeeded. In September our roles were those of elder sisters, giving the benefits of our past experiences to the freshmen as we led orientation classes; then we delved into the mysteries of student teaching. A fanfare of circus tunes heralded our next memorable scene. Mary Jean Carlyle brought the whole class on stage in our circus skit Snails in the Garden and then reigned as queen of the festivities. Misty soft lights and silver snowflakes set the atmosphere for our next spectacular appearance. Johns Ann Moore Secretary June Johns Treasurer Graceful in long white gown, we seniors with our beaus waltzed under the spell of Christmas Magic. Then came a transformation: spring and those coveted contracts! For a change of setting, we seniors took an intermission trip to the lake. Sneak Day — shorts, swimsuits, sandwiches, and sunburn gave us a thrill. Next appeared rapid changes: sessions of cram ' ming for examinations, melodies of Senior assembly, many parties for the Red and Whites, and the lantern parade with the clear voices of seniors in one last serenade over the Rotunda railing. At last we are booked for life ' s restless changes, ready to give our best to the world. With the inspiration of all our Longwood associations, the memories of the fun we had here, we try to make the Class of ' 54 always memorable for achievement. Longwood
