Amid the confusion of construction paper and candy. Senior Girls could be found preparing for the games. Stu- dent Council representatives and Sophomore and Junior Class officers were elected, class rings were ordered, and the Roy alettes made over $1,300 at their first money making project — a spaghetti supper. While some students sunned and surfed, others worked at campaign headquaners. Mr. Gerald Koch regis- tered 18-year-old voters and Sargent Shriver, Democratic vice presidential nominee, made a quick stop in Cor- pus. The month ended with the National Merit Examination Board commending ten King students and naming five semi-finalists, more than any other high school in the area.
