Miss Berger was the general supervisor 'ind Charley Kaup was the gen- eral chairman. To show their appreciation for the Sr.-Jr. the junior class g'rve a banquet May 4 and had '1 formal dance in the high school auditor- ium following the banquet. A large crowd of upperclfrssmen 'rttended in bow ties and formals.

So the junior class worked hard to accom- plishing worthy goals in life. And if ever any general were to st-md in front of them he could say ll ell done class of '47.
