EU THE ISLANDER UCK Miss Esther Rice Mr. Laurence Ritchie Representative Students The Islander staff thisyear conducted a campaign of a nature which has not been known in Grand Island College at least in the memories of those now among the students. The purpose of the contest was to deter- mine Which man and which girl among our number represent to his fellow students the ideals of the typical college life. Preliminary ballots were cast by the students at large and the ten highest candidates were eligible for election. In the finals only those purchasing Islanders were entitled to a vote. Since the standards of Grand Island College are high for all students, We believe our decision implies not only that which is typical of the Ameri- can College Student, but an approach to that which is ideal. The Editorial Staff of the Islander of 1928 takes great pleasure in announcing the REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS of Grand Island College, MISS ESTHER RICE and MR. LAURENCE RITCHIE. i1qp-'are 1928
