Sherrill McClelland Primo ’68

My roommate (Christine Herbst ’68) and I danced a duet senior year. In September 1964, during my first term as a freshman, I took a modern dance class from Elinor McGrath. Working with her became a passion, and I continued to audit the class, although only one course was required. I didn’t make my first competition but was encouraged to try again and made it. Unfortunately, Miss McGrath had to leave due to illness midyear and never finished our recital choreography. I remember the fragments of our finale to this day. Orchesis was a highlight of my college years, and I still work out in the tights (leggings) from those years!

Memorable song: “Freeway” from Mondo Cane
