Mr. Lindsay was facing a tough re-election battle in the Fall, but he came through it successfully, Representing the ticket of Johnson-Humphtrey- Kennedy was a New York attorney who labored as a volunteer in the Democratic Committee to elect this slate. He extolled the virtues of these three, and they all came out on top. To culminate this series of talks, the Rostrum held a schoolwide straw vote. The results were exactly the same as those on Election Day. In the Spring Term, the Rostrum remained active. Members of the Draft Board spoke on this area of concern to all High School boys, and a member of the Youth Department spoke on Social Work in New York. Through this series of speakers and programs, the Rostrum brought areas outside of schoolwork to the attention of all Rhodesters. 81 State Senator Frederick S.
