Paul Cohen, Campaign Mgr. | Tripp May MAY 26, 1955 CRIMSON AND WHITE PAGE 2 Secretary Treasurer Lois King Carl Eppleman 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. I I have known “Epp” for five years, from the seventh grade up, and in all these years he has par­ ticipated actively in various organ­ izations and extra-curricular activi­ 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, what actual experience has Mr. Eppelman had in this particular field? We know that he can write, This candidate also hjis all the but so what.
