Campaign man- agers and loyal supporters plastered the walls with posters, and handed out hundreds of campaign buttons. So election day' arrived to find most students quite eager to cast their votes. Enthusiastic Student Council members participated by working at the polls, constructing booths and counting votes. When the results were revealed the student body happily discovered that Floyd Warner was to be -the new president. His five years of experience in working on the Student Council should stand him in good stead as he undertakes the responsibilities of keeping wheels running smoothly. Michael Young came out on top for the vice-presidency, and Susan Grim became secretary. When the representatives are elected in the fall, the Student Council will begin to function under new leader- ship. A great variety of tasks will come under its jurisdic- tion-pep rallies, our lion's suit, the Christmas tree, a mock presidential election-all these and many more behind-the-scenes jobs will be on the agenda.

The aesthetic were attracted to the art room where they found paintings, sculpture, printing and all kinds of crafts, jewelry making, basketry, woodcarving and pottery. In the line of the more practical arts the home ec and the shop had their exhibits too. The girls displayed the cloth- ing they had made throughout the year and the boys dis- played a wide variety of projects including woodworking, metal work and printing.
