Convention WILL THE CONVENTION please come to order? requested Larry Cope, '55-'56 student body president, as he stood before the fourth annual ASB Convention at EUHS. The students and delegates, from frosh to seniors, took their seats. All around the gym, the walls had been decorated with posters extolling the virtues of each candidate. Some signs were even hanging from the ceiling. Senator Kuchel was the out- standing attraction forthe conven- tion that year. As he stepped out onto the stage, he was greeted by a warm ovation from all the stu- dents, along with a salute from the pep band. lt is truly heart-warming to see students practicing government in their schools just as it is actually done in our own national govern- ment, spoke Senator Kuchel as he closed his speech. Soon the race was on between the candidates for each office. On through the day it continued. By afternoon, two nominees had been selected to run for each office. The convention was followed by a week of vigorous campaigning. lt was concluded as the registered student voters gathered at the polls to vote for the persons they had decided would do the best job for EUHS during the coming year of '56-'57. 24 SENATOR KUCHEL told of the importance student government plays in the future of our country when he addressed the fourth an- nual ASB Convention. ACROSS THE STAGE stood the hopeful students chosen from one of their classes to run for nomina- tion of the '56-'57 ASB offices.
