The election of A. F. Walker to fill the
position of president, rendered vacant
by the resignation OF President Rine-
hart from the presidency of the Santa

he may succeed to Rinehart's position as
president OF the entire system.
President Walker was the only new
officer elected, the remainder being
simply reelected to Office.
