COLORFUL POSTERS arc easy to take down for the victor Jim Mannum and his backers, Mary Ellen Bragonier and Bill Strand. KEEPING TIME DURING the two campaign assemblies enabled each candidate to have equal speaking time, Dan Roach and Mary Mont- gomery watched the clock at Friday’s assembly. To the Ames High student body there is only one thing certain in life: There will always be semester tests. They are as impossible to stop as a steam roller and produce about the same effects. Sopho- mores are petrified with fear; juniors are nervous and bleary eyed: and the old gray seniors calmly observe the proceedings with a philosophical attitude that usually develops into a bad case of “senior cynicism ' by the end of the year. Those with enough energy left to open their eyes found the tortuous boredom of study somewhat abated by the myriads of colorful and catchy post- ers which suddenly appeared announcing the be- ginning of the campaign for second semester stu- dent body president. Candidates were Bob Beaty. Dick Gibson. Jim Hannum. and Bill Easton. Showers of paper airplanes, cheering students, and a barrage of fruit for one unlucky speaker marked the enthusiasm and hilarity of the nominating as- sembly. There was also a serious side to the eve- ning though with each candidate presenting his ideas for improvements to be made in the event of his election. The election assembly on Friday cli- maxed a week of vigorous campaigning. Ballots were cast, and first semester president Archie Greene announced over the sound system that Jim Hannum had been elected. 5-Day Campaign Features Rabbits, 28
