THRILLER A D KILLERS BATTLE FOR TITLES November, long the traditional month of elections, finds the students of Holy Angels busily engaged in their vigorous campaigns for titles in the annual popularity contest to select Wlio's VUho Among Our Seniors. Displaying the various signs, which dotted the campus for days preceding the actual voting, are these enthusiastic members of the Thriller and Killer tickets.
