WILBUR MOORE XEN PENCE HELEN BOXELL MAX TOWNSEND SEN ICD UFFICEIQS Q FTER one of the most heated campaigns that ever preceded a senior election in Marlon High School, Wilbur Moore, son of Mrs. Sylvia Moore, was elected president of the 1931 graduating class. Practically every candidate, nomi- nated by a petition filed at the principal's office, had his campaign manager, and publicity went thick and fast for about a week before the actual balloting. Post- ers, advertising the prowess of each student candidate, were posted on every as- sembly board and in the main hallways. The two other candidates besides Moore for the oflice of president were Paul Meyer, football, track and basketball star, and Allison Holt, associate editor of The Survey. The other three officers elected were vice-president, Xen Pence, son of Mr. and Mrs. O, O. Pence, secretary, Helen Boxell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Boxellg treasurer, Max Townsend, son of Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Townsend. The three minor oflices were as publicly proclaimed as that of the presidency. The committee appointed by Principal Kendall to handle the election was composed of Richard Reynolds, chairman, Mary Gartland, Josephine Strands, James Reed, and Robert Hardesty. Miss Gladys Lewis and V. A. Smith, class sponsors, also aided in counting the ballots, which numbered more than any ever cast by a senior class in Marion High School. Each of the four officers carried out the particular duties that his oflice re- quired. The social statis of the '31 class during the year was a result of the ef- forts of VJilbur Moore, who saw the need of such activity and appointed stu- dents who were fitted to carry out the details. Class meetings were held from time to time in the auditorium. ITACIIJS l93l
