SENIOR FABE WELL

Bringing to an end four years of academic and social life, the Senior Farewell, planned and executed by president Tom Manning and his energetic committee, was replete with smiles and tears as seniors bid adieu to their college careers and to each other.

Held at Triangle Ballroom, May 20, the dance was a complete success as Gray Gordon's Tic-Toe Orchestra offered both sweet and swing to satisfy all.

Members of the committee were Bob Stoecklein, Ray Fitz, John Hacker, Ralph Niehaus, Mary Graziano, Kay Struck, Les Giambrone, Paul Wagner, Don Coan, Jake Baker, Willie Banks, Bob Moran, Bill Fitzpatrick, Ed Bishop, Jack Torpey and Jack Ferron.
