POLITICAL RALLY SET
FOR PALMER GYMNASIUM TODAY
The game of politics, complete
with campaign promises, stump
speeches, behind-the-scenes vote
shuffling and all the attributes
of the favorite indoor American
sport, will be played in Palmer
High School this week.
The stakes are offices on the
Palmer Student Council. The
game will reach election eve
pitch today, when the campaign
assembly is scheduled, and will
be played to its ultimate con
clusion at home-room elections
immediately following. Students
will ballot by classes, on regular
printed ballots, and will hear the
score announced at an early
hour on Friday.
In keeping with regular elec
tion procedure, candidates were
announced for each office, and
names were posted on the high
school bulletin board this week.
Students then were given the
privilege of adding new names
through a petition signed by 20
Palmer enrollees.
The original list fo office can
didates included:
Henry Anderson and Edward
Cope, president; Edison Thuma
and David Vigdahl, vice-presi
dent; Helen Stenvall and Bar
bara Hecker, secretary; Roberta
Hemmer and Harvey Hiber,
treasurer.
However the list had hardly
appeared, when office-seekers
began shuffling for position.
Backers of Helen Mae Stenvall
petitioned for the inclusion of
her name on the presidential
slate. Dismayed at the thought
of feminine intrusion on such
sacred masculine territory, Ed
ward Cope promptly announced
his withdrawal from the race
and the switch of all his backers
to Henry Anderson.
Helen Mae, in order to aspire
to presidential honors, announc
ed her withdrawal from the sec
retarial field, thus leaving Bar
bara Hecker unopposed.
So it is that this afternoon
will find it a battle of the sexes,
with both boys and girls of Pal
mer High School prepared to
fight a last-ditch battle for the
coveted council seats.
The stream lined campaign
assembly, which is to include
other features of entertainment
aside from stump speeches, has
been intrusted to the manage
ment of Joanne Dragseth.
