fUudenti dune, tetulm The campaign was on! Posters, signs, tags, and banners blossomed at Ham- mond High during the month of March; the students elected their Association officers for the 1961-62 year. All candi- dates who ran for top student govern- ment positions were well-qualified, and it was difficult to decide how to cast one’s ballot. Aside from covering the marks and holes in the plaster the posters served an important function; they inform the student body as to the candidates. Although not everyone can hold an office in the Association, the entire school can help make Hammond High School’s student government an effec- tive working body by giving it support, suggestions, and encouragement. After the primaries, the number of candidates was whittled to six finalists. These smiling students relaxed after giving their campaign speeches in auditorium sessions. Front row l-r — Barbara Smith, Gayle Bohling. Pat Harding, rear — Tom Doyle, Fred Foushee, and Jim Vergin. Winners were: Jim Vergin, President; Fred Foushee, Vice-president; and Gayle Bohling, Recorder. Page Sixteen Running for an office means lots of work. These students, well forti- fied with soft drinks and potato chips, searched for clever ideas to give sparkle to the campaign. In spite of the amount of time and labor consumed, everyone who participated in the election agreed they ' d enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
