Posters, cards, bands, balloons, money, and dozens of other little gadgets that cause custodians to bemoan their fate, floated around the halls. Vote for Snodgrassnl Elect Claghorn and get six months' vacation were but samples of the strenuous campaign. Color and excitement in election time surpassed even other years, as close races and recounts aided Trojans a great deal in seeing the value of democracy and governmental participation. There was even a case when a senior representative lost his position in a vote recount. Yes, democracy reigned for two hectic weeks. Candidates left no stone unturned in their efforts to get votes, and did not hesitate to make Wild cam- paign promises. But it was all in the spirit of good fun. As the results were made public, there were handshakes and congratulations.,tears and smiles, but through it all ran a trend of good Will. Under the authority of Bob Gelvin, Election Com- missioner, and Jackie Mills, Election Clerk, who were assisted by the Election Board, the election moved smoothly along. Even the lack of a jalopy parade didn't make much difference. The primary served to narrow the field, making competition just that much keener. After the thrills provided by ties and one-vote margins, the final election was an exciting ending. ,11.-M,-'-,ir.4:': from:a as::esea-fsszazseazassasaaas's' '-.L 1-f - vu. ,
