Streamlined politicking (voting machines, cigars, and a p.a. system—not to mention stump speeches and political rallies) gave the non-frats a clean sweep of all the student body offices for the coming year in the election last Thursday. : : -| Hal Dekle expressed himself, at 5:30 Thursday afternoon after the voting machines had shown the results of the balloting, as well pleased at the prospect of presid- ing over the student body in the coming year and thanked his campaign chairmen, "Ferdinand" Dyson and Bob Gunby, for their aid and support. They responded in hoarse tones through a haze of cigar smoke. Bob Barnett came out over Frances Hammond, Progressive candidate for vice-president by a substantial vote; while Helen Hooks and Bearden Cunningham, for secretary and treasurer respectively barely nosed out Sara Elizabeth Clark and Mildred Brown for those offices, Cunningham winning by a single vote. Ward Hunter, Progressive candidate for president, thanked publicly all those who had voted for him. He stated that his friend Dekle would make an excellent president. 'm\ Nominating speeches for the various candidates were made in a student body meeting over which Horace Bills presideid Thursday morning. Voting began at 1 p.m. o'clock in the art room, and lasted until five. The two voting machines were secured largely though the efforts of Neil McMillan, a DeLand boy, who borrowed them from city officials. These were glad to let thc student body vote on the machines so that they would learn how to use them in the future. Wednesday night the two parties held big political rallies. The Non-frats convened in Hulley Gym and listened to several speeches and the music of the Half - Mad Hatters, a campus swing group. Progressives (formerly Frats) lit several bonfires and paraded through the streets. Signs bedecked the campus on Thursday morning and handbills extolling the virtues of the various office-seekers appeared in chapel. Politicking was clean, largely because the party leaders did their utmost to make it so. Voting went on steadily at the polls all afternoon and the results were announced to a waiting crowd at 5:25. The public address system was rigged up by Francis Knorr and Bill Wimberly. Swing music was played when the politicians were not speaking on behalf of the non- irat candidates. Public interest ran high, and altogether 591 votes were cast, making this the largest election in. Stetson's history. Seniors Have Their Day Under the guidance of Don Frison, president ,and his capable committees, the seniors had their day of glory, last Friday. Beginning with a breakfast at eight in the Commons, and progressing through an entertaining chapel program, to a picnic at Daytona Beach, the "upper" classmen, thoroughly enjoyed their day of respite before beginning the last long grind of examinations. Dr, W. S. Allen served as toast- master for the breakfast honoring the seniors, and also, gave the welcoming address. Dean Charles G. Smith, offered the invocation, and Dean Paul E. Raymond made the address to the seniors. Don Frison, as president made the response to President Allen's welcoming address, and a Harp solo by Bonnie Sammonds, together with a violin solo by Caesar Gonzales constituted the musical program. The program closed with the singing of Alma Mater by the entire group. At the beginning of Chapel, the rest of the students stood up while the seniors marched in and took their reserved seats. The main part of the program was the reading of the Class Will, by Harmon Harper. Music was supplied by a "Modern Chamber Music Trio," consisting of Lawrence Hartsfield, Lester Spear, and Bob Roberston; and by a saxophone duet by Dick Simms, and Lawrence Hartsfield, accompanied by Ruth Dentler. Tom Cobb, Harmon Harper, Lester Spear and John Griffith, were the committee in charge of chapel ceremonies. After chapel, the seniors were excused for the rest of the day, and made their way to Daytona Beach for their sand, hot dogs, and cokes.
