Mixed Chorus and Glec Club claimed many, while joannie Nevitt, Jim Russell, and Bill Rhoads step' ped forth as directors when the One Act Plays came around.

With Mary Tower as its head, the work program has done great things this year and the Brown and White is another organization which has profited from the hard work of '47ers on the staff. In spite of all the time spent on these activities, they still had time for work on dance committees and other social affairs. In joint Assemblies, they did everything from yodeling in German to skiing on sawdust. Most important in extracurricular events, however, were the class parties.

To sum up, it was a good year, a year in which the class of '47 showed the spirit and the talent within its ranks. If they repeat their success of the past terms, they will have an even better Senior yearg they are wellfprepared for it. Thirteen
