After the war he attended the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1948 with a degree in accounting. His work with GREEN GIANT covers all the var- ious ramifications of personnel and public relations programs for all Green Giant plants. This covers approximately 340 permanent and up to 5000 seasonal employees. Mr. Kline has been active in Boy Scout work for 25 years, including a canoe trip in 1940 from Shakopee to Hudson Bay, via the Minnesota River, Red River of the North, etc. This trip covered approximately 2000 miles and took 105 days. One of the graduates of Shakopee High QC1ass of 19305 who got an early start in one of the presently modern professions is LEE J.

He earned both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, graduating in 1936.

He went to work for General Electric as Student Engineer working on steel mill control systems, submarine motors, ship's turbines and electrical power generating equipment. The following year he went to their River Works at Lynn, Massachusetts to work on turbosuperchargers for airplanes.

His specialty in connection with these projects is thermo dynamics, the science which estab- lishes the pressures and temperatures at which these engines will operate and thereby predicts the performances to be expected from both engine and plane for all flight conditions.
