AGNES PERSONS Senior Advisor B For the Class of 1955, the last four years have been full, rich ones. The first year, there was the Cherry Tree Hop, with the class headed by Dan Tallman, Pat Sexton and Betsy Curtis. As sophomores, the new officers, Ed Green, Nancy Grande and Bettina Hall arranged the unusual dance The Solar Shuffle. Columbia Design, Pat Tilley, Nancy Grande and Tom Lally were junior officers and led in the class sponsorship of the Ring Dance, where class rings were given out. With the coming of the senior year Jim Tethers, Albie Pastor, Kay Cummings and Nancy Claydon won the top posi- tions. The Football Hop, the Basketball Dance and the Senior-Junior Prom made a busy program of activities. Two faculty sponsors have helped and guided the class, Miss Janice Seward for three years and Mrs. Agnes Persons, the senior year. As the years go by, we hope that the Class of T955 may realize even more fully the values and friendships of these four years together.
