STUDENT FORUM The Siudent Forum is the governing body regulating siudent activities. During the year the group handled many complicated problems with integrity, wisdom, and har- mony. By hard work, the Forum was able to live up to its motto: “Put I.C. on Top in ‘48.” Back Row: D. Ransdell, R. Read, R. Teckenbrock, R. Allen, H. LaTier. Middle Row: D. Billings, J. Laschinski, D.
