Student Body President EDDIE SHERRILL Eddie7s delightful personality and outstand- ing leadership ability led to his election as stu- dent hody president. Three years, service on the student council and two years in the Na- tional Honor Society may well have accounted for his qualifying for this office. As one of 240 Mr. Mcliinneyis assistants, Eddie has taken part in helping with just about any odd job that needed doing around the school. After graduation this May he plans to enroll at ASM College.

To be eligible, a student must have and main- tain a high C average and is asked to submit a letter stat- ing why'he wants to run for office and a petition bearing the signature of five members of his class. A screening committee composed of the principal, counselor, c l a s s sponsors, and other faculty members review the appli- cants. Those passing the screening committee present a short campaign speech and are voted on by the entire stu- dent body.
