unn and Doherty Reign Victoriously! E lection Qi-lelcshenj N. 1. The for- mal choice of a person or persons for any position, usually by ballot. This is exactly what took place three weeks into the school year. The defini- tion clearly states the obvious but does not reveal the behind-the-scene actions. Tension and frustration are two words that best provide an idea of what the days before the final voting were likej As the candidates made posters, got teacher recommendations, and prepared their speeches, the Sophies were given the opportunity to decide for themselves who would become their leaders. The race began with much anxiety and enthusiasm and continued this way through to the bitter end. After two days of voting, the election was finally over! The Sophomore Class of 1984 elected Bob Dunn and Chuck Doherty as their President and Vice- President, Shanlyn Newman as Treasur- er, and Connie Zirker as their Secretary. l 20 Sophomore Elections A freshly painted poster displays I the talents of silly Sophie Chuck Do hefty and serious Sophie Bob Dunn.

Rounded up quickly was Kathy Oldham, a stray Toro who was loose in the parking lor, The Best Place to Be time Wiseman ou're sitting in fourth hour and the whole class has been listening to your stomach growl. You're trying to keep your mind on your studies, but the only thing you can think about is FOOD! Finally, the moment you've been waiting for arrives, lunch time. Whew! And just when you thought you were going to wither away. Heading out for a bite to eat, you watch the herds of people. Seniors are casually sauntering out to their carsju- niors are arguing over where to go. And Sophies are either standing solemnly in the cafeteria line, running out to a car with that eager look on their faces, or standing forlornly in the parking lot, begging for a ride. Sometimes you end up with a Burrito Supreme, Mobyjack, or a Frosty. Today you find yourself with a McChicken, fries, Coke, and an apple turnover. mn , f ' I Looking around, you see people bbr- rowing money, mooching food, and pig- gin' out. Sounds of laughter, cash regis- ters, and bits and pieces of gossip reach your ears. The smell of french fries fills the air until you have to buy some more. So you spend your last dime and decide to take off for campus. There is only fifteen minutes before lunch ends. Dreading the start of after- noon classes, students are on Senior Hill, in the parking lot, on Sophomore Hill, by the ramps, and under the marquee. You head straight to your favorite han- gout where you meet with friends and lovers, sit back, and take it easy. You're catching up on all the latest when the bell rings. You run to your locker, grab your books, and go to class. Of course, you stop to talk and you're late from lunch again. Campus Hangouts 19
