Joe Steph Wins
Cheer Leader Post
Joe Steph sophomore from
Abilene scored a clear-cut vic-
tory for cheerleader position place
four in a special Student Council
election Wednesday in chapel.
Steph ousted Jim White and
James Martin by polling 653 of
the 1025 votes cast. White re-
ceived 248 votes while Martin
tallied 125.
Need for the special election
was created when Joe Howington
who was elected for the position
last spring had to withdraw be-
cause of other activities.
Steph White and Martin were
in the race last spring and were
nominated in accordance with the
constitution. In order to speed
up the election procedure the
Student Council voted to submit
the names of the three as the
nominees for this election.

ers for this school year. He is a
member of the H-SU tennis team.

sang "Bye-Bye Blues" to close
the show.

Gene Hester was in charge of the
arrangements for the show and
presented the prizes to the win-
ners at the close of it.
From Odessa
The winning act from Odessa
was a daffy sort of running battle
a la Dean Martin and Jerry
Lewis. Without question. Kenneth
is the better part of the Day-Hill
combination chiefly because of
his remarkable resemblance to
Lewis the movie favorite. Their
timing is well done and their
comedy fresher than most offer-
ed during the show.
Miss McErath gave an unin-
hibited reading concerning two-
kids and their reactions to the
Saturday cowboy matinee feat-
uring their hero Sloppy. Her
mobile face and antic gestures
gave the necessary punch to the
narralive she told.
The blazing baton of Miss Clark
was perhaps the most spectacular
thing on the program. The act
done in almost total darkness
was eerie in its perfection.
With a voice that is almost a
whisper and slides easily over a
melody Miss Hix gave the third
winning performance.
