Who's Who honors contribution in Congress and class affairs In his three years at Seaholm, Bill Canning has been a leader. Serving as sophomore class president, Bill was one of the people who worked hardest to develop the personality of the class of '67, Bill proved himself again while representing the junior class in the Senate. As vice president in his senior year, he worked behind-the-scenes and assisted his class in moving smoothly toward graduation. Bill's interest in Seaholm's government and student body won him a place in the delegation to Boys' State. Upon re- turning, he used what he had learned in Congress and was elected president of the organization during the second se- mester. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bill led a re- sponsive, productive Congress. His outstanding leadership places him in the Who's Who section. Working closely with Bill Canning as Congress vice president was Tom Gardner. Tom spent his sophomore year playing football, observing his class and school, and deciding his goals. ln his junior year, Tom ran for class president and successfully obtained the position. As president, he organized many activities of the school, including Civic Control Day, in which he served as the only iunior representative. In his senior year, Tom again attended Civic Control Day, this time as a commissioner. Tom also participated in Boys' State be- fore his stay in Sweden as a YFU exchange student. With ex- perience behind him, he became Congress vice president and head of Senate. Leadership and service such as Tom Gard- ner's deserve recognition in Who's Who.
