the 1975-76 semesters at

Warrenton, defeated Joy Brown
and Randy Garr Roupe for the
office of freshman class

secretary of the freshman class.
In sophomore class elections,
Debbi Lewis of Elizabethtown
won the office of president by

defeated Jay Cee Sanders.
The offices of treasurer and
secretary were won by Jo Anne
Gentry and Fran Bridges
respectively. Both were unop
posed. Jo Anne is a native of
Yanceyville while Fran resides in
Sanford.
The key note of the elections
once again was the apathetic
attitude of students towards
student elections.
Out of 217 sophomores 193 of
them voted. Even worse was the
freshman turnout, 124 of 371.
