President Race Senior Steve Shores was elected Student Council president by a sweeping majority ot IHS student votes on October 8, 1958. Steve was one ot three candidates for the ottice, the other two being Roger McLeroy and Barbara Gwinn. Shores, in a speech before the student body, made campaign promises to change some areas of the constitution and to have a more enthusiastic Student Council in IHS. The losers also had ex- cellent speeches but they did not have the draw- ing power at the polls as Shores won by a land- slide. The Student Council, which sponsors the March ot Dimes program each year, collected a record amount of fISl57.l7. The Student Council is plan- ning an ugly man contest this year, however, plans were not definite when THE LAIR was sent to the publishers. To me the Student Council is the most important organization of every school, states Steve Shores to assembled IHS-ers.
