T. sponsors or should the M. T. boys elect them ? Dick Pottenger: The school should elect them. This would save an argument as the M. T. swing the election anyway. Dick McKenna: The student body should elect the sponsors because they are re- presentative of the student body. Do you advocate girl yell leaders during basketball season? Ruth Cunningham: The boys are leaders during the football season. Why not have girls for the basketball season?
