Voice of Leadership
By: Noah Landreth
It takes a particular type of person to lead the masses. The leader walks in front, speaking for the majority and sharing the burdens of the people. A leader has to make the right decision for the masses while being sensitive to the concerns of the individual.

In her role as student body president, Williams gained a unique perspective working with both staff and students. She was impressed with the school spirit this year, however, feels concerned the students care less and less about learning.
