to Lead Juniors William Cahill, '39, was elected president of the Junior class at the elections held In Mal"!lile Alumni hall on Monday noon, October ll. Bill Is admirably suited for his position, having successfully filled the office of president o1 the class in his freshman year h.,-e. He now holds down the post of Sports Editor of the VIATORIAN, conslstently turns out a very good sports page. His closest competitor was Pat Blmmerle, '39, one of the most popular men on the campu~ and a full back on th.e football team. Ray Lyons , '39, the genial gen tleman from Fenwick high school, r an a close thlrd. Al Monahan, '39, the s tar center on t he basketba ll s quad and one ol the fines t men on the camp us, lost to Sandqulst, '39, by the very narrowest of margins in the race fo r the office ot vtce·president. John O'Byrne, '3~, more commonly known. as "Zephyr", Is the secretsr y of the class. defeated Will Watson an1 J•, .. ttson for the po~\ of secretary. .• Bob Lenahan, '39, another hero of the grid-Iron was elected to the office of treasure r. His closest rival was J . Emmett Back, '39, Robert Regan, '39, former treasure r of Cisca, ana Elmer Pepin, '39, the only day s tudent to be nomina ted, ran third and fourth respectively. The officers have no definite plan as yet. but s ince Cahill will be at tbe helm of the activities of tht Junior class, we look tor something entirely out of the ordinary and diffe rent ! rom a.nytblng we've ever had here at the college.
