Immediately following the nomination of the five seniors for the office, ardent supporters of each candidate began to gather forces and launch a political attack against the undecided members of the student body. Black boards in all class rooms were hourly filled with such sloagans as "Vote for Vinson" only to be replaced the following hour by "Vote for Gray" or some other candidate. The library and gymnasium were spotted with huge posters and drawings.
The campaign reached its peak when on Wednesday morning September 22, each "president prospective" addressed the student body from the stage during the chapel period. Even though each candidate expressed his desire to be elected, the real keynote of each speech seemed to be, "May you choose the person best suited an qualified to fill this office."
Ballots were passed out Thursday morning to the student body during home room period and votes were cast. At the counclusion of the voting, a committee composed of a representative from each class tallied the casting. Vinson headed the list with Hopson following second.
