rang out and produced, for the third consecutive year, the winning song for the annual song con- test. The box office was clamoring again in Decem- ber, for everyone turned to see the spectacular decorations and hear the mellow nuisic for our sen- sational Senior Dance. Twinkling silver stars in a heaven of blue, drifts of snow and lighted Christ- mas trees added to the atmosphere of our beauti- ful Christmas Fantasy. Our many thanks to Shir- ley Osbourne, dance chairman, for making it such a success. Our last Christmas party for the whole gang, late working hours in January ' s last week, sleepy 8 o ' clocks, trudging to the high school on rainy mornings, smearing creams and lotions on for the week-end crowds, and serenading our sister class, all made our life one barrel of fun. With the fun came greater responsibilities too. Responsibilities for which our first three years had prepared us. Most of us had learned that in order to receive much we must give much. As the head of an organization or simply as an interested mem- ber in one, we attempted always to uphold the traditions and spirit for which our college has gained recognition. Our hope is that Longwood Our class president is capped. College is a little better place for our having spent four years here. With the coming of June, parties, and Senior Assembly, we suddenly began to realize that grad- uation and farewells were near at hand. The pre- cious dream we had shared was now coming true. The sun was overhead, not setting, but ready to start its new path just as we were ready to begin a new journey, fortified with four wonderful years of knowledge and understanding. Witli a sheep- skin as a sign of achievement, we waved cur last goodby to fun, frolic, and the Seniors of ' 55, full of memories, smiles and tears. College
