E,XE,CUTlVE, f Student President SAM WALTON 'lThis concludes the program for the morning, and you are now dismissed to go to your first period class. Thus is the assembly ended each Friday. Presiding over assemblies is just one of the numerous duties of our president, Sam Walton, affectionately known by his many friends and classmates as 'lSammy. ln addition to his routine duties, the president serves as our official host at school, and as our representative when away from it. This highest office in our democratic form of student government goes to one who earns it by his leadership, service, and ability. Sam Walton has gained this distinction.

Student Government E HAVE just finishedour Hrst year under a new system of student government- the point system. lt was introduced in order to gain a more equal distribution of student offices. Its success, as well as its introduction, has been questioned. However, during this year many more students have been given opportunities for training in leadership and for receiving the honors offered by home rooms and clubs, lt is true that some difliculties have arisen, but they were mere inci- dents, such as the case of the boy who had to choose between the presidency of two clubs because he already had too many points. If any real objections were to be raised, they should be against our conservative interpretation of the system. Yes, by all means distribute the offices, honors, etc., but do it whole- heartedly! Reduce the number of points allowed, and hold an election every quarter. Elect a new student president and new class oficers. Make leaders of the perpetual followers. Why should we consider Utopian the desire to give an opportunity to those who seek it?
