Stonestreet Twins
Chosen To Serve
As Co-Treasurers
Charles Brown,, an outstanding
Junior, won over Neil Efird for
president of the student body
next year.
Kenny Furr will serve as vice
president; Janice Hearne will
keep the records straight as sec
retary; and Johnny and Jimmy
Stonestreet will be co-treasurers.
Due to an unusual circum
stance, To-treasurers, instead of
one treasurer will serve the stu
dent body. Johnny and Jimmy
Stonestreet, twin brothers, were
nominated to run against each
other as treasurer. The two, un
willing to compete against each
other, talked to Mr. Cashwell,
asking if they could serve as co
treasurers. If not, they would
like to withdraw. The two boys
were elected by a motion from
the floor during the assembly for
campaign speeches.
Candidates running on slates
selected in convention held two
weeks ago were Charles Brown
and Neil Efird for president, Ken
ny Furr and Mike Wolfe for vice
president, Janice Hearne and
Sherry Pegram for secretary, arid
Johnny and Jimmy Stonestrefet
for treasurer.
Campaign speeches were made
at a special assembly on Monday.
Each candidate was represented
by a campaign manager, who
spoke for his nominee and intro
duced him to the students.
Serving as campaign managers
were Jimmy Miller for Charles
Brown, Woody Durham for Neil
Efird, Lois Shaver for Kenny
Furr, Edith Smith for Mike Wolfe,
Jimmy Kluttz for Janice Hearne,
Shelia Harris for Sherry Pegram,
and Roger Smith representing
the Stonestreets.

Mrs. Carter, faculty advisor,
and the annual staff along with
the new editor, Elaine Morris, and
business manager, Eddie Lefler,

Several radical changes were
made in the “Crossroads” begin-
nine: with the cover. Contrary
to the traditional blue-white
backs, the annual staff felt that
since there was a modern, new
school plant, a feV old traditions
should be broken to make way
for the newer, morq modern
trGnds.
Therefore, a contemporary gieen
on white cover was planned.
A theme was chosen to corre
