An extremely tough schedule and poor hitting added up to more losses than wins in spite of good pitching. A member of the Peninsula League, the Tigers wound up in third place. Coach Brickell is optimistic about next season due to the return of Willis Bell, Sherwood Jones, Preston Jackson, and Roddie Conner, the main- stays of this season's pitching staff. .

The .. Senior Prom The music of a real live dance band filled the Pythian Castle, Norfolk, and the Senior Prom was underway. Saturday, May 28th, was a big night for the Seniors, the only formal dance in their high school years. The girls in their formal gowns, and the boys in dinner iackets had never looked better. Soon, it was time for the highlight of the Prom, the Ring Ceremony. After walking through several formations, the Seniors and their dates had the Class Ring turning under elaborate trel- lises. This was followed by the Seniors' Ring Dance. Time flew by, and after what seemed like only a few numbers later, the band was play- ing for the last dance. Everyone present left the ballroom with fond memories of the 1955 Prom. The formations of the Ring Dance have begun, to be cllmaxed by the turning of the class ring. 1
