We are proud to present as this year's King and Queen of Kampus, Bertha Katarius and Bob Wanless. There was a little confusion about the way these two were chosen as the students seemed to have the idea that all the candidates were running in couples, which was not right.
The King and Queen were to be presented with Identification bracelets at the "Y-Teen How Down" but since it was cancelled they were presented these gifts at the Awards Assembly.
Congratulations, Berta and Bob!
