Laird, Secreta TOM CURRAN STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT For the first time in many years Abilene high school has elected a student body president in the person of Tommy Curran. The idea was presented by principal Erle W. Volkland in a general assembly early in the fall. Mr. Volkland suggested having a senior who would be capable of filling the job, file for candidacy with one of the Stuco sponsors, C. B. Tice or Eugene Carlile. If the student body had a choice of candidacy, a petition was to be passed among the pupils for signatures. Twenty names were required on the petition for a candidate's eligibility. The two senior candidates, Dwight Vogel and Tom Curran, were both nominated by petition. The nominees presented similar platform speech- es to the student body in the election assembly, September 22. This was a busy year for the student council . . . . . they worked on a new constitution . . . . . chose twelve boys for jr.
