Plans are under way for senior activities.  President Waverly Hill is in charge of the plans for graduation night.  Vice President Henry Talavera is the chairman of the prom.  He and his committees have been very busy and have already acquired the Palmer House to hold the Prom there.  Secretary Joe Locascio is the head of the class luncheon and Cheryl Richardson, who is the treasurer, is busy with the mothers’ luncheon.
