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. The posters and slogans not only introduced the candidates to the student body, but also urged them to vote for their running mates. Trying to convince everyone of her fellow canclidate's tal- ents and achievements doesn't seem too hard for Thriller Helen Ruth Keppler. Fascinating the audience by her comi- cal gestures helped Helen Ruth to present her arguments to the student body and at the same time prove her right to the title of Wittiest senior. Gaynell Bordes, captain of the Killer ship, the Black Falcon, led her jolly pirates throughout the campaign. Their fighting spirit enthralled the students and helped to capture votes for their Killer ticket, so much so that the Killers won nine of the twelve titles available. ISO
