ROYAL TWIRP COURT Robert McNeill Pe gy OPry King Darrell Johnson, Nettie Accardo, Jim Woodham, Kay Rug les and the announcer Mr Joe Redman make up the court of 1962. Twirp 'Turn-about' Hit' HAVING TROUBLE? . . . Caroline Goodrich struggles to open the car door for Edwin McCluskey during Twirp Week. uTurn-about is fair playf' cried the boys gleefully as they piled books on poor defenseless girls. The occasion was Twirp Week and the males of South Park took full advantage of those seven days. The Powder Puff basketball game between the junior and senior girls was filled with stumbles, fumbles, fouls, and falls. The knobby-kneed, hairy- legged cheerleaders added their own antics to the fun-filled game. Darrell Johnson reigned as Twirp King after being crowned during half-time cere- monies. Boys sheepishly wore frilly aprons on Friday, showing that they were claimed for the dance that night. By the end of the week, girls, broke but content, had begun to appreciate the males' status a little more.

FLYING BALLOONS . . . John Johnson catches balloons used as campaign gimmick by one of the candidates. Petitions began circulating around South Park as candidates announced their intentions to run for a Student Council office. When the petitions and filing fees had been recorded, a list of 25 candidates was chalked up. Campaigning became more vigorous as candidates and their managers combined efforts to pull in more votes. Posters and handbills covered the walls, and students Wore ribbons to signify their choice of candidates. The student body attended an assem- bly held by the candidates and heard political ora- tory thunder as candidates made their promises of office. Students, realizing their responsibilities as voters, paid the required penny poll taxes and voted for the candidates they believed to have the best qualifica- tions. Votes were tabulated and after a run-off elec- tion, a council headed by Texas Waddell rolled into office. Council Elections, Mock Olympic' I NOMINATE . . .
