Seattle Times staff reporter
Between completing college applications and hawking candy out of his locker, Ingraham High School's Candyman is looking for a successor to replace him when he graduates.
The North Seattle senior runs an underground candy business at school to raise money for charities — spurning the Seattle School District's strict no-junk-food policy.

Reader Response
The Candyman reported that business picked up after The Seattle Times ran a story about him — without identifying him — in November. Teachers look the other way, and some even buy from him. But he used to use regular "bathroom breaks" from class to run to his locker and fill classmates' orders.
"Now since everyone is aware, when I ask for bathroom breaks, it's harder to get them," he said.
And while principal Martin Floe faced some criticism for not cracking down on the Candyman, most of the response has been positive, Floe said.
"The district's sense of humor seemed to grow as time went on," he said.
The Candyman said his replacement should be an underclassman with people skills, humility and a commitment to academics.
"A balanced Candyman knows when to work and when to sell," he said.
