Treasurer
Lois King

Mary Killough
From the rock-bound coast of
Maine to the sunny shores of Cali­
fornia, you could not possibly find
another candidate with the qualifi­
cations for secretary as Lois King!
About this time of the year, the
senior high holds its elections for
the people who will run Milne’s
senior student council next year.
This year the juniors nominated
Lois King and Carl Eppelman for
the position of secretary.
At Milne the treasurer holds one
of the most important jobs on the
council. He must pay the bills, be
able to keep records neatly, and
has complete responsibility for all
the council’s money.
Before going into the many, many
excellent qualifications and abilities
of my candidate, I would first like
to make it known that Lois is very,
very handy at keeping pencils sharp­
ened, and “man” can she clean type­
writers. Now I ask you, what more
could anyone possibly want from a
good secretary? You say you aren’t
satisfied? I’ll give you a secretary
that can type at an amazing speed,
take notes in shorthand faster than
you can talk, and is the chief typist
for the C&W. This person has also
had a secretarial job during the
summer, and guarantees, without a
doubt, that the minutes of all meet­
ings of the senior student council
will be out on time. (That is, if
she is elected.)
I have the privilege and pleasure
of being the campaign manager for
Carl Eppelman. Naturally, you, the
voters, are interested mainly in the j
attributes that my candidate can
offer for the job.

years, from the seventh grade up,
and in all these years he has par­

ties throughout the school. I have
known Epp only to do his best at all
times and to sincerely try to over­
come any obstacles that may be in
his way.
Still, you may say to yourself,

field? We know that he can write,
