CLASS ELECTIONS OMETHING new was added to the senior elections. Frances Tenny and Donald Watson, co-chairmen, borrowed the method used at the summer session of Boys, and Girls' State. Each home room elected representatives to a nominating convention, which was responsible for choosing a set of officers for each of the two parties. The Green's candidates were Bill Carl, Jack Carroll, and Doris Widmaier, the Gold's were jack Cuff, Eddie Fisher, and Elinor Wfahlstrom. Seniors registered the day before, and a real, honest-to-goodness voting machine was bor- rowed from the Nassau County Board of Elections for the eventful day. Much to every- one's amazement, the votes for presidency were a tie. On the second ballot Bill was elected, Jack and Elinor completing the slate. 1 F1 IUNIORS-JOHN GOULD, president, band and orchestra, vice-president of Hi-Y, class president for three years, plays baseball and basketball, likes physics and geometry.- MAURICE SCHNEIDER, vice-president, Hi-Y, Lyn-News, tennis, basketball, ping-pong, bowling, likes geometry.-MARION KNIAZ, secretary-treasurer, basketball, volley ball, hockey honor team, Hi-Y.

HOME ROOMREPRESE 'HTIVES UY a ticket, please? This familiar slogan was heard repeatedly by the students when the Home Room Representatives started their campaigning for various events. Elected by student vote in each individual home room, these boys and girls were responsible for vari- ous events in which the student body was solicited. Not only tickets to games, plays, and band concert, but Red Cross drives, Class-Nite tickets, defense stamps, yearbook and Lyn Newsn subscriptions, bids to the Junior and Senior Proms and the Hi-Y Harvest Hop-all were ably taken care of by the Home Room Reps. Another of their duties was to keep their home rooms posted on dates and times of innumerable meetings, athletic events, and other activities. To aid Mr. johnson in final collection and tabu- lation of tickets and returns, Doris Widniaier and Arlene Kraatz had the pleasant job of handling and counting the money.

That seemed to be the idea the Owl Staff had when it decided to publish a year book which tells its story in chronological order. This plan has been carried out under the direction of effervescent Jo Hamburger with the careful guidance of Miss White, Miss Cullen and Mr. Johnson. During the year, the editors had the opportunity of making two excursions to- gether in connection with their yearbook work. The first was the annual pilgrimage to the Country Life Press in Garden City. This was an interesting sidelight of the staff's activities. Everything went fine except that Joan Rosenhaus had a little trouble keep- in her pigtails out of the machines. The hair grew back rapidly, however. The second trip the editors made was into the yearbook conference at New York University. They had the pleasure of hearing the famous Believe it or noth Ripley speak. Nevertheless, the staff spent long hours preparing this book and they hope it meets with general approval. Sealed-Abrams, Heller, Smith, Eichmann, Kranzcr, Tenncy.
