Treasurer
Igor Magier
Larry Kupperberg
The treasurer holds one of the
most important jobs on the council
as he has complete responsibility for
all the council’s money. He must also
pay the council’s bills, and be able
to keep neat and accurate records.
Running as a candidate for the
position of treasurer of the senior
student council is Larry Kupper­
berg.
I feel that you could not find, in
the entire Milne school, a person
who combined all the attributes of
honesty, sincerity, and school spirit
with the amount of experience of
my candidate, Igor Magier.
Secretary
Katie Simmons Jane Arms trong
“Here’s the thing of it,” says
Eloise! “Do you want to have the
best possible secretary for the senior
student council next year? Well
the girl for the job is KATIE
SIMMONS!”
I suppose you’re all wondering
just what “Eloise” has to do with
this campaign. We chose “Eloise”
as the theme of our campaign be­
cause she has definite ideas. “Eloise”
is also a very intelligent little girl,
who knows just what she is talking
about, and when she says, “there is
absolutely no other person for the
important job of secretary, but Katie
Simmons.”
Katie Simmons has been a very
active member of the class of ’58.
In the seventh grade Katie served as
a representative to the junior stu­
dent council. This was the begin­
ning of Katie’s experiences with
working for the council. In the
ninth grade Katie worked for the
junior student council once again.
But this time she was the secretary.
Since Katie held this important
position, it is easy to see that she
is well qualified for the job. Her
record in working for the junior
student council was one to be proud
of. When Katie was in her sopho­
more year, she once again served as
secretary. This time being secretary
of her class. Aside from her past
experiences, Katie received A’s in
typing, which is an essential quali­
fication for the office of secretary.
She also receives A’s in English
and takes accurate and sensible
minutes.
I think that you can easily see
just how qualified Katie is. Through
her previous jobs, she has made it
clear to the faculty and to the stu­
dent body that she is a very capable
worker.
7th Grade—Homeroom president
Choir
Even though Igor entered Milne
this year, he has already made so
many friends and has been entrusted
with so many jobs that he was given
the great honor of being nominated
for treasurer. Of course, friends
were not the sole reason for his
being nominated, as he has many,
many excellent qualifications and
abilities.
Larry has had experience as an
officer in various student organiza­
tions.
In the eighth and ninth
grades he was his homeroom presi­
dent, and was a member of Hi-Y
and International Relations club.
Now he has spread his time between
Adelphoi and the senior student
council. In the latter organization,
he has been active for two years.
It is because of a fondness for the
student council that my candidate
is sincerely the best for the office.
His fondness will be directed to the
particular love that the treasurer
must have in collecting, feeling,
spending, and even perhaps saving
of our lucre. He has maintained
an excellent average in mathema­
tics, and is a good connoisseur of
figures, or a connoisseur of good
figures.

I feel that Jane Armstrong is the
person for this important job. She
has served as secretary of the
M.G.A.A. council and also Quin.
This means that she has had ex­
perience as a secretary. She fulfills
all her obligations eagerly, efficient­
ly, and effectively.

Janie can type and also takes

sary for the-efficient running of any

all the whys and wherefores of the
job of secretary and knows how the
student council functions I’m sure
Jane Armstrong is the best for the
job.
Place your vote for Jane Arm­
strong, and remain confident that all
the work and events of the student
council will reach you quickly, effi­
ciently, and with your wants and
interests in mind.
