Dee Lowder was voted, acclaimed, pronounced, chosen, chos-en, selected, and declared president.

October 7 was a fateful and happy day for Dick North, for he was elected SAM president. Remember Re-member the last basketball game he played? Never was a game more exciting. October was a month of surprises. The "B" football foot-ball team won its first game.

They worked; they slaved; for what? As if we don't know. There was Lyle Ert-man, Ert-man, wrapping up tablecloths; there was Joyce Morrison, selling toys; there was Ernest Poulsen.

Then came February the month of Fur Values at Dupler's, Hudson Bay, American Fur Company, Panek's, and all other little department de-partment stores that sell furs.
