Any student in any class may be nom inated by the purchase of an 18.75 Bond, which starts off the nominee with 1,875 votes. Students may cast votes for candi dates by investing in Bonds and Stamps. Every penny spent is worth one vote; thus a 10 cent Stamp equals 10 votes, and a 25 cent Stamp equals 25 votes. Class scores will be kept separately, and the highest ranking student in each class, after the all-college winner, will be in the Bond Queen's Court of Honor.
