Toby Elected AHS President
ROY GRAY
"Well it's kind of hard to ex
press myself," Roy said
thoughtfully when queried a
bout the benefits of sports as
applied to the office of student
body president.
"Participation in sports de
velops your character and per
sonality. You learn to under
stand people better and to get
along better with them," ho
added.
Koy feeis that through the
participation in sports you de
velop certain personality and
character traits which help
you in activities other than
spoi Is.
Through his duties as stu
dent oody president, Roy has
learned to work with other
people and to listen to sugges
tions of others and use them
forming his own opinions.
"Toby," Roy feels is well qual
ified to carry out the office of
student body president.
Roy stated that the best ad
vice he could give the newly
elected officers is to "do the
best job you can in the best
way you know how."
Mlei graduating from Ore
gon State College, where he
plans to major in engineering,
Roy plans to cither go into
YMCA work in a mission field
io go out as a missionary
individually. Combining his
engineering with his knack of
getting along with people, Roy
should be a success in this en
deavor.

JACK TOBIASSON
Grinning and leaning one
arm against the lockers. Jack
Tobiasson or "Toby," gave his
opinion of sports and his new
job of student body president.
When asked how he felt par
ticipation in athletics develop
ed a person's personality and
prepared him for his future
life. Jack answered, "I think
they are a large part of a per
son's character. If he is going
to be a good sportsman, he has
to be co-operative with his
team mates and his coach and
put plays into action with the
calmness you need to think
straight." Toby also stated that
you learn that a good sports
man does not show off but puts
the team first."
Questioned on his opinion
of how sports could prepare
him lor carrying his presi
dent's duties, Jack replied
"that there is always a conflict
between the two, especially if
one allows sports to come
first. Jack, however, plans to
make a balance between the
two. "If I find sports are tak
ing too much time from the
time I should spend on my du
ties as president," Jack stated,
"I would give up sports rather
than give up being president."
Learning to speak in front
; of people, to balance tjse bud-
'get, working with the princi
pal and other persons are bene
fits which Jack expects to re
ceive from being student body
president.
