Several short speeches were given after the dinner in appreciation of the seniors for all of their hard work and effort the last four years. For the first time, the dinner included two senior speakers: Dan Marvin and Pam Mullen, who gave a lively and funny "co-speech" about life at Alfred. After the speeches, seniors were asked to sign up for the "Senior Week" and "Senior Class Speaker" committees. The 1989 Class Officers were elected and the winners are: Edsel David, Class President; Adrienne Cardillo, Class Cor- respondent and Paul Caple, Class Agent. The dinner portion of the evening ended with a group of seniors leading in the singing of Alfred's Alma Mater.
