The Election Commitee is made up of the junior and Senior class, whose job is to count the ballots which are sent in by the home- rooms of our school. There is more to this Committee than meets the eye. The staff was composed of ri group of line workers, .intl without their able cooperation the work could not he don.e There were .lCU.l.lllf' two elections. First the prelimin- .iries, in wliieli some of the candidates must be eliminated to make way for the lin.il elec- tion, when the top two c.indid.1teslin lixeef utive Committee there .ire four candidutesj would try to tt-t enough votes to make him class president or whatever office he espires to. But before the preliminaries there rnust be .tn assembly where the candidates give their reasons why they should be .ln officer of our class. After the aforementioned Pre- liminaries, the results are given out and the final elections or runoff is held. This must also he done with the election of Junior Class ogicers. There is a lot of hard work to be done but the Committee performed its duties very well.

Row 2 Roberl Svillman, S1anley Elfbaum, David Cheren, Robert Rosoff, Stanley Cohen, Samuel Childs, Allan Dreiker, Roberf Davis, Larry Goldfarb Rowl Gerald Guftell, Richard Goldstein, Harris Herman, Mrs McGrath, Allan Silverman, Irwin Rosenbloom, Richard Arisian With the kind and patient guidance of Mrs. McGrath, and also M. Aylward, a cadet teacher from Boston College, Memorial's four forums were anqinspiration to sopho- mores and juniors alike to study public speak- ing. A In addition to this, it gave the participants of the Forum a real chance to show their abili- ties in not only the delivery of a speech but also in the actual composition of the material. The success of the Forum is due to the fine training of Mrs. McGrath not only in speech and diction, but also in the methods of de- livery and presentation, The boys are ad- vised what type of topic would be appropri- ate and told how to organize data. Current events are among thetopics most discussed, but this, however, does not ruin the speakers' chances of originality, for he still has to do a great deal of research on his own. Examples of excellent forum topics are: The Voting Age Should be Lowered to Eighteenn. These are subjects which allow for good pro and con discussion in the present day conditions.
