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.

l C For many years now, I've had the pleasure of knowing this man, says IHS Principal Ed Williams before he introduces Reverend Paul Fullerton to IHS students. . . . and then like any red-blooded American boy, Terry leaned over and planted a kiss right cn the pretty young thing. Well, how did you like that? grinned Terry. And the pretty young thing said, Come over Friday night, Terry . . . that's amateur night! Hey, Terry, did she really say that? laughs Joe Martin. Jon Hataway, Charles Johnson and Max Reese add their guffaws to Joe's. Rev. Fullerton Tells IHS-ers Rules of Life I came here because I believe in teen-agers . . . Life is more than a game, and you should know the rules and play accordingly . . . Team play is essential . . .You aren't the only one hurt by your mistakes . . These are meaningful words spoken by Rev- erend Paul Fullerton, pastor of the First Christian Church in Irving, who spoke to IHS-ers in September. Possessor of an excellent sense of humor, Reverend Fullerton directed several of his many iokes at certain IHS football playerseAllen Helton, Terry Urquhart and Chuck Creed. Students then heard Reverend Ful- lerton talk to them on Christianity and the importance of living with yourself and the others around you. 27
