Here they are! The Troops! With students graduating in January, May, and August it is a very diffieult job to determine exactly what class in which to represent them but we took the word of those represented and placed them in the class of their choice. Some of the egotists have been placed in the Senior Class since the day of their initial registration, while, on the other hand, some have been listed as Freshmen since the day of their initial registration due to the fact that they still are Freshmen, and through no fault or choice of anyone concerned but themselves. Of the 3500 students attending school in the Fall of 1947, only a mere 2500 came by and sat for a picture, but we are certainly proud of each and every one of them, picture or not. CLASSES 24
