Maurice Rector, for whom this page is reserved, was chosen the most rep- resentative student for 1926. In former years, popularity was the determining factor in the election. This year, however, it was necessary for the student to be of excellent scholastic standing as well as popular with the student body. Each class put forth its utmost efforts to have its own candidates elected to this honorable position. The enthusi- asm was strong. The Freshmen class displayed wonderful organization and campaigning ability, causing the Seniors to work with the greatest possible determination. Maurice, has during his four years in high school, been a leader in everything he has attempted. He starred in both track and baseball and captained the football team for two years. He was elected editor-in-chiefofthewahoo. I-Ie has also ranked well in his studies. The entire student body should feel pleased to be able to bestow such an honor on him. 9 A N -ill llkiiiaf
