A number of prizes were given away by the class. These included a door prize, a lucky couple prize, and a turkey for the holder of the lucky number.

BASKETBALL SUPPER The coaches and players of the 1947-1948 Williamsport basketball team were honored at a basket supper in the school gym Wednesday evening, March 3. School oflicials, patrons and friends of the school helped make the evening a huge success. Principal E. E. Stahl acted as master of ceremonies, introducing the guests, coaches, players, yell leaders, and student man- agers. Those attending enjoyed meeting Coach Willard Kehrt of Terre Haute's Garfield Purple Eagles. Garfleld's team was runner up for the state championship in 1948. Coach Kehrt and Superintendent Fechtman of the local high school were teammates at Indiana University.
