Student Council Election Today
Dave Wilson
Looking for a president? Don’t
consult the classified, here's your
man, “Dave Wilson for President!”
The job of president of the senior
student council requires a man with
all round ability. Hardly a phase
of school life has been left un-
touched by this man about the quad.
“Weird he go?” one would have to
ask to keep up with Dave. Scholas-
tically he has been top man on the
totem pole, averaging straight A’s
through high school. This year he
received the sweater award for his
participation in varsity basketball,
and tennis. When in his freshman
year, Dave reached “Eagle,” the
top rank in scouting and proved his
leadership ability ‘as senior patrol
leader for three years. Just recent-
ly he received the God and Country
award for his fine work for the
church,
“Mr. President”
Dave's middle name. For the past
two years, his classmates have
chosen him to be their class presi-
dent, He also has been homeroom
president since his “freshman year.
could well be
But, first come first serve. With all
his ‘other activities for next year,
“Mr. President” must limit the
number of presidencies he can take.
Already he has been elected next
year's president of the Albany
youth council and president of his
fellowship. So if you are looking
for a man with a great background
of presidential leadership ability . . .
“Age, grade, size, sex
here’s the place to put your X.”
DAVE WILSON!

President
Paul Howard
Fellow students of Milne, I offer
to you my candidate for the office
of president of the senior student
council, Paul Crawford Howard. It
has been my privilege to know Paul
for five years. During this time he
has shown me that he is a hard
worker in anything he intends to
do.
Paul has the needed qualifications
for the office which he seeks. He
was vice-president of the junior
student council in his freshman
year, so he knows what the council
functions are. He is a member of
the assembly committee this year,
and has taken part in numerous
other activities in the school. He
was chosen by his classmates as
their choice to be one of the repre-
sentatives to the Citizenship Day
conference at Syracuse university.
He is a member of Adelphoi
(Theta Nu_and Theseum: DON’T
HOLD THIS AGAINST HIM). Paul
is sports editor of the C&W where
he works very hard, (His name
won't appear more than 20 or 30
times, next year.)
Paul has time to do a good job
if elected, as his activities are lim-
ited to a few. Aside from bombing
around town in his DeSoto, he is
never too busy to talk to anyone.
His friendly manner is a great asset
to him (just don’t slap him on the
back too hard; there’s a limit to
everything).
For these reasons, and others too
numerous to mention (see me in the
hall sometime and I will give you
a one hour discourse on my candi- |
date), I ask you to vote for PAUL|
HOWARD for PRESIDENT.
Paul Cohen, Campaign Mgr.
Vice-President
Ruth Spritzer
NOW HEAR THIS... NOW
HEAR THIS... and you don't have
to be a sailor to hear and appreciate
the fact that Ruth Carolyn Spritzer
has been nominated for “Veep.”
What do YOU want in your V.P.?
Is it leadership? What about new
ideas? Perhaps you'd like integrity,
too. And how about a real desire
to work “like a dog” to make the
’55-’56 student council “Class A”?
I know that’s what I want
that’s just what my
Ruthie Spritzer, has.

Fl
Tripp May
Say hey! Vote Willie May! This
is the cry that has been ringing
enthusiastically through the sacred
halls of Milne. You have undoubt-
edly heard this phrase from some
of Tripp’s many(?) backers or pos-
sibly in my candidate’s own words
(more than possibly).
Tripp's the people's choice; his
and mine. Incidently, if you have
been wondering how we came up
with “Willie May,” Tripp’s full
name is William Benjamin May.
His athletic appearance often re-
sembles the giant center fielder, too.
They both bat right handed.
To cut the clowning for a few
lines, I deeply believe Tripp to be
the man best suited for the office of
vice-president of the senior student
council. If I didn’t think this, I
wouldn't have backed him. Come
to think of it I didn’t, During the
nomination, I yawned when the
president of our class said, “All in
favor of T. May raise their right
hand.” As you can see I am still
clowning. However, Tripp is a good
man.
Elected as treasurer of the Hi-Y
club last year, he has done a com-
mendable job. Another of his activ-
ities includes active participation in
the debate club. He is also a mem-
ber of Theta-Nu. This is not a
handicap as the candidate (Tripp
May if you forgot) can boast a good
number of friends in all three org-
anizations and also the sororities.
Because of the ease in which he
makes friends, I believe he will do
a tremendous job on the assembly
committee. So I say to you—ALL
THE WAY WITH TRIPP MAY.

. . Seeretary
Lois King
From the rock-bound coast of
Maine to the sunny shores of Cali-
fornia, you could not possibly find
another candidate with the qualifi-
cations for secretary as Lois King!
Before going into the many, many
excellent qualifications and abilities
of my candidate, I would first like
to make it known that Lois is very,
very handy at keeping pencils sharp-
ened, and “man” can she clean type-
writers. Now I ask you, what more
could anyone possibly want from a
good secretary? You say you aren’t
satisfied? TI'll give you a secretary
that can type at an amazing speed,
take notes in shorthand faster than
you can talk, and is the chief typist
for the C&W. This person has also
had a secretarial job during the
summer, and guarantees, without a
doubt, that the minutes of all meet-
ings of the senior student council
will be out on time. (That is, if
she is elected.)
This candidate also has all the
attributes of a good secretary. She
has stick-to-it-ness, a sense of
humor, a chihuahua dog, a driver's
permit, and is sincerely looking for
ward to serving our school in some
capacity.
Why look anywhere else? You've
got her, hold on to her, Lois King,
that is.
You will find Loi’s school record
to be well above average, especially
in her business subjects. \If she has
been capable of doing such excellent
work steadily, in her years at Milne,
you may rest assured that Lois will
do just as good work in the position
of secretary of the senior student
council.
Place your vote for Lois King, and
remain confident that all the work
and events of the student council
will reach you quickly, efficiently,
and with your sat ction and in-
terest inm ind.
Vote row K all the way!
Carl Eppleman
About this time of the year, the
senior high holds its elections for
the people who will run Milne’s
senior student council next year.
This year the juniors nominated
Lois King and Carl Eppelman for
the position of secretary.
I have the privilege and pleasure
of being the campaign manager for
Carl Eppelman. Naturally, you, the
voters, are interested mainly in the!
attributes that my candidate can
offer for the job.
I have known “Epp” for five
years, from the seventh grade up,
and in all these years he has par-
ticipated actively in various organ-
izations and extra-curricular activi-
ties throughout the school. I have
known Epp only to do his best at all
times and to sincerely try to over-
come any obstacles that may be in
his way.
Still, you may say to yourself,
what ‘actual experience has Mr.
Eppelman had in this particular
field? We know that he can write,
but so what. What has he done
that would seem to justify your vote
for him?
1 was elected by th
°56 to be their class secretary for
three years in a row. Ever since
we started having class officers
(ninth grade), Epp has been elected
secretary. This shows what a great
job he must have been doing keep-
ing the minutes to be elected to this
post three years in a row. Besides
being class secretary for three y
Adelphoi has also elected him’ their
“keeper of the books.” I don’t think |
you can find anyone that has more
actual experience than thi
ss of
T also had thé pleasure of working
with, Epp this year on the student
council. He always gave forth with
his ideas, many of which blossomed
out into various ways of making
Milne a better school.
Mary Killough
At Milne the treasurer holds one
of the most important jobs on the
council, He must pay the bills, be
able to keep records neatly, and
has complete responsibility for all
the council’s money.
I feel that Mary Killough is the
person for this important job. She
has taken care of the spectator
buses for the past two years. This
means that she has had to collect
and keep a record of well over $20.00
| per bus.
Who do you think collected and
kept a record of the $450 for the
M.G.A.A. banquet? Mary, of course!
She gets good math marks, keeps
neat records, and has a good sense
of money value. These are all es-
sential characteristics needed to be
a good treasurer.
Mary has been student council
representative from her homeroom
for many years. She attended the
workshop at B.C.HLS. and was editor
of “Le Scoop,” the paper that Milne
put out for the federation of schools.
Mary was also elected by the
junior cl. to attend the Citizen-
ship Education conference held at
Syracuse university.
As you can see, Mary has had
excellent training for the office of
treasurer. She can be trusted to
keep neat and accurate records of
all the money that is in her care.
She certainly knows all the whys
and wherefores of money and how
it should be handled for a large
organization.
Since she knows so much about
the council and how it functions,
Tm sure that Mary Killough is the
best one for the job.
These are the reasons that I hope
you will elect CARL EPPLEMAN
secretary of the senior student]
We want Mary Killough
Our money she will billow
And when she’s finished
Our debts will be diminished.
Treasurer
Mike DePorte
Got a minute? Here’s a word to
the wise. Have you seen a 6 foot 2
mass of muscle strolling around the
quad? If you have, there is no
doubt in my mind, that this could
not have been Mike (he is 5'-8” and
weighs 135), so don’t bother voting
for “it.”
Mike entered Milne in the seventh
grade and has made his presence
known ever since (ask any junior
Mike is now editor of next year's
yearbook, a job which requires the
handling of over $1600.00, which is
no petty sum. Besides this, he is
a member of Adelphoi and Hi-Y.
He also lent his talents to the C&W.
the M.B.A.A., Debate club, and his
athletic interests to the tennis team.
Why should you vote for Mike?
I have asked myself this question
repeatedly, and have found several
good answers. In the first place, he
has an average of 95, which is made
up by, among other things, the A's
he has: received in seventh, eighth,
and ninth grade math, as well as
those obtained in geometry and in-
termediate algebra. A conscientious
and willing worker, he will always
work for you, the student body.
Furthermore, Mike is well liked by
his classmates, and has proven his
capability by working hard on class
projects like the alumni. ball. He
has recently been appointed chaii
man of the membership and hospi-
tality committee at his fellowship.
All this goes to show that my
candidate is your best bet for treas-
urer. He has brains and personal-
ity. So remember, today, when you
see a lifesaver with a hole in his
head, that, MIKE DE PORTE, my
“|man for treasurer,
