vi' XNVN 1 MOCK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION On February 24, 1952, the entire student body par- ticipated in a replica of a Republican National Con- vention sponsored by the Politics Club. With the aid of the offices of major candidates, vigorous campaigns were carried out within the school for Taft, Warren, Eisenhower, and Stassen. Posters and leaflets were used and a Stassen-Warren camp in the form of a tent guarded over by a statute of Miss 6HoneybearD Warren. Broadcasts, coke parties, efhgy burning and the traditional elephant adorned the scene. On convention day the students, as delegates, each represented different states or territories. The keynote address was given by Gus Kellogg and this was fol- lowed by the presentation of the party platform by John Schereschewsky. The first roll-call was next and produced the nominating speeches by Howell, Schine, Mitchell, and Gorry. jones and Koven brought forth f lla' their favorite son, Driscoll, as DeGraff and Guida spoke for Nimitz. Each nomination was followed by demonstrations given by loyal supporters. Then came the voting in which Taft led for the first two ballots, but as the Stassen-Warren coalition began to swing towards Eisenhower the necessary majority was reached and lke won on the third ballot. The convention was a tremendous success and thor- oughly enjoyed by both participants and spectators alike. A great deal of credit goes to Ray DeRidder, Director. Peter Eimas, Secretary, and to Dr. Custer and Mr. Darbee, Faculty Advisors. Campaign Managers were Leo Bretter, Taftg Harry Oppenheim, lke, Bill Bitzer, Warren, and Pat Arch- bald, Stassen. Through careful planning and execution, they were responsible for the nation-wide acclaim given this informative and enjoyable evening. wi N 'aifrmi
