At first glance the average person might gaze with fearful apprehension at the powerful 103 pound frame. When one found out that senior Jim Webster is not just a varsity wrestler but also Brotherhood president only then would one's fear turn to relief.

Vibrating with nervous energy, Jim finds release in a variety of activities. Among them is Brotherhood. After being elected to Brotherhood by the student body last year, Jim was elected by the Brother­hood members as this year's president.

But Jim doesn't stop there. He is also a member of Maine's Student Council. Showing an interest in student government, Jim is also a Central Suburban League delegate, an organization which meets once a month to discuss common student council problems. Although there are exceptions, each school in the league is usually represented at these meetings by one student delegate.

Jim does not confine his activities to academic fields. He has been wrestling for all four of his high school years and received his varsity letter in the sport during his junior year. Wrestling at 103 pounds Jim has come up with a respectable record of eight wins, six losses, and two ties for this season.

Not limiting his sports interests to wrestling, Jim also was the football team manager during his freshman, junior, and senior years. Like many athletes Jim feels the minor sports are underrated. He would "like to see minor sports get more spectators and as much publicity as the major sports."

After graduation Jim plans to attend Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. He is not sure what he wants to major in. Here at Maine Jim majored in math and history. For college he considers education as a possible major. Not fazed by the prospect of "big league" competition, Jim intends to continue wrestling in college.

"It's taught me organization and how to work with others. I've learned the value of time and to appreciate the responsibility of being president of a group. Not many people realize the work involved. Certainly I have much more leadership ability than I did before I was elected," replied Tom Barrett when asked what being president of Brotherhood Society had done for him.

Tom, a 5'9" senior was elected to Brotherhood Society his sophomore year. He was elected as president and served in that office his junior year.

When asked how he felt when he was elected to Brotherhood Society, Tom answered, "I felt honored. It's really a great feeling because you know you've gained the acceptance of your classmates. It's the biggest honor I've ever received because it's sort of like having the other students say, 'You're a good human being!'

One of the biggest arguments against Brotherhood Society is that the elections are only popularity contests. When Tom was asked if he felt Brotherhood Society was a popularity contest, he said, "To some extent, yes, Brotherhood Society elections are popularity contests; but it's only natural that it should be that way. It's a good reflection on our society that the kids who promote brotherhood should be popular. The kids are popular because they are friendly and do promote brotherhood."

Tom's pet peeve is people that are phony. He says that as a person gets older, he sees through more and more people as being insincere.

When Tom has spare time he works or sleeps. His other activities include an active part in Student Council, Ski Club, and his church youth group.

Tom's future plans include two years of study at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus and then transferring to Northern Illinois University for courses in business administration.

"Get involved, because being a part of a group teaches you how to work and get along with other people. Getting along with others is important no matter what you do" is Tom's advise to Maine students.
