l l to the Halls of F.C. 1 Excitement surged among seniors in November as they divided into parties and squared off for political conventions and elections. Federalists Bill McFarland and Don Andry and Nationalists Everett Barnard and jim Coss shared election triumphs, journeying to the Purdue Legislature in De- cember. Steve Napier, alternate for Bar- nard, won the first Purdue Legislative award ever given in honor of his superior com- mittee Work, which included the passage of a bill introduced by McFarland. This was the first bill pushed through the Legislature by F.C. delegates. Arrival of the long-awaited class rings provoked excitement among junior Class- men. They had anticipated arrival of their rings since the placement of their orders in April of the Sophomore year. Although a few rings didn't fit, in general everyone was satisfied. mga After brief rides on jammed school buses, pupils fight their way through crowded halls to their classes. Proud juniors Cindy Lechner and Blanche Geissman sport class rings purchased in their Sophomore year.
