senior atudenta’ nomse, oue might
well get that impre»sion. Pilot Point
boa organized a rtudent council and
we were only trying to elect a presi-
dent.
Three Junior*, Bma Lou Burgess,
William Hilz, and Mary Lou Guns-
tead, and three seniors, J. C. Taylor,
Virginia Leath, and George Cole,
ware nominated for the student ecun*
ell presidency.
Their eampalgn managers eaw tost
there was nothing I* eking ta the ad-
vertirtng part of the campaign.
Friday morning toa nomlnoea made
their canipulgn speeches. Their cam- —-- ----
palgn managers introduced them. The abashed Mr. Wheeler prevailed

nor, some with pride, and some be-
cause it wns their duty. Everyone
seemed thoroughly to enjoy the
speeches.
Wo had a sample of O’DsniaP*
when droll George Cole, toe first
speaker, took the floor. George him
seif picked the guitar usd sang,
"That Million Dollar Smile” while hie
friend, M. B. Yarbrough, played the
violin. Little Minnie Jo Yarbrough
(Texaa Rose) was at tte piano. After
bk speech, which was an aracunt of
what he proposed to do for too bat-
terment of our school, preaeuted ta
a droll manner, M B. and Minnie Jo
played San Anto&io Rose.
Ema Lou Burgvw was quite ner-
vous as was Mary Lee Goustead, bnt
they both put over very good speech-----------—

candidate. Virginia Leath made the
boy*’ heart* do queer thhiga when
she addreraud the audlenoe ta be-
half of her candidacy for president,
but she kvasn’t. elected.
Maybe this was partly due to one
of the planka in her ptatfom which
wac entirely left out If itie had pre-
sented this plank, she might havo won
the votes of other senior students!
The candidate of all “ *

almost wept for sheer Joy.
The voting was done by secret

oted upon by the student body a sec
nd time. When the votes were conn-
ed, J. C. had &9 and George had 58.
