Wally's sophomore class is holding its elections this Friday. Each of the four home room classes is submitting a slate of candidates, two for each of the positions. After Tooey nominates a proud Lumpy for president, Eddie, on a lark, nominates a reluctant Wally. Ward and June don't mind too much that Wally seems disinterested in the job, but things change specifically for Ward when Fred Rutherford gloats that Wally has no chance of winning against his Lumpy. Ward talks Wally into treating the election like any politician who wants to win would. Although doing such is outside of Wally's comfort zone, Wally ends up relishing the glad-handing and the thought of potentially being president. How will his classmates react to the new Wally, who is acting like a career politician, versus the old Wally, a casual, fun guy?
