At the first of the school year they attend the elections of the class officers. These elec- tions are run by the students, the nominations being made from the floor in individual class meetings. A week of intensive campaigning follows, concluded by a ballot vote. This year the sophomores elected Carl Long to serve as president of their class. The junior and senior classes elected Bob Andrews and Amos Schwartz, respectively, as their presidents. The freshman class election was held in the middle of February, and the returns showed William Yamanaka, president.
