To the student body, election week seems rather wild, hectic, and some- what ridiculous. But to the candidates, the election is taken quite seriously under that cover of a happy-go-lucky attitude. For the candidates and their supporters, it is a week of serious effort. Their purpose is to be elected because they believe in their school and the students, and have a sincere desire to make it a better school, a school the students can be proud of. They must decide how to present their ideas in a way that will be accepted by the majority. They work long and late hours, hoping that what they come up with will be better than the other candidates' approach. But when that all important Friday comes and the morn- ing assembly is over, the candidates breathe a sigh of relief and anxiously wait for the results, hoping that they come up on top. But win or lose, for them it v as one of the best weeks of the year. STUDENT BODY Vice-president Dave Wilcox an- nounced the results of the election over the sound system and the victorious and the defeated were left to look back on a week of memories. uuuuv
