A meeting of the senior home
room presidents was held Octo
ber 20. They decided that there
would be two ballots. The first
was a nominating ballot, and the
second was to be the final ballot.
On the nominating ballot every
person would have an opportunity
to name any person he wanted for
a superlative. There was no re
striction on the number of times
a person could be nominated on
the first ballot. This vote was
taken October 27. Because some
of the homeroom presidents failed
to return their ballots it was
necessary to have a re-vote the
following morning.
The people nominated for each
superlative were listed and the
number of votes each received
was tallied. It was decided at the
meeting October 20 that four peo
ple’s names would be placed on
the final ballot in each category.
One person could not run for
more than one superlative. The
person would run in the category
in which he received the most
votes on the nominating ballot.
Final Ballot
Those who ran on the final
ballot were Most Courteous: Bob
Buchanan, Jimmy ^ullock. Bill
Robinson, Dennis Saunders, and
Sandra Boyles, Jean Waters, Con
nie Waynick and Ann Winchester;
Friendliest: Roger Lewis, Hamp
ton McNeill, Bill Starmer, and

History Honor Society Presents
Pa nel of Six Foreign Students
Six college students represent

pnel discussion as guests of the

Robert Fredrickson, both of the
history department, moderated
the panel with Shirley Truitt,
Sandra Bargamian, Charles Tate,
and Ain Turner, senior members
of the History Honor Society, also
taking part.
One of the questions poseed
dealt with the student’s first im
pression of America. Steen’s
(Denmark) answer was that he
had been exposed to America
gradually and did not have to face
a great shock. He had worked on
a ship one year to get to Amer
ica and felt he had become some
what accustomed to the difference
between the North and the South,
feeling that the North was in too
big a hurry. As he puts it, “It’s
dangerous for foreigners to walk
around. The South seems to take
it easy and I like that.”
One of Georgette’s (Jordan)
first impressions was that Amer
icans ate nothing but sandwiches.
Peter (Canada) felt that tour
