Last Thursday, we were called into the gymnasium for a common event– an assembly for a speech made to the student body. Usually it would be difficult to keep one’s eyes open. However, these speeches were made by the candidates for SCA officer positions, so it was a somewhat different matter. Some candidates endorsed their accomplishments, some spoke of what they wanted to accomplish, and some were honest enough to admit they just wanted to put the title on their resume. But all these speeches were confident professions of students who wanted to give back to their school and knew they could. Anyone who heard the speeches could have said it was anybody’s race.
The next day, when the ballots were counted, recounted, and the votes were tallied, the winners of the election were announced over the intercom. However, this announcement was missed by most of the student population and many of us remained ignorant of who was representing us in student government. So to clear up the matter, we’re printing the names of our new SCA officers here.
President– Niklas Lofgren
Vice President– Will Neil
Treasurer– Skye Callen
Secretary– Jack Kelley
These student leaders will be in charge of planning at least one event every month, according to SCA coordinator Ms. Moretti, and will actually be organizing four events in the month of October alone. For those who are wondering, we can look forward to the Homecoming dance, the Homecoming wall decoration contest, the crowning of Homecoming court at the football game, and the events of Homecoming week in October. The heavy responsibility of all these events is definitely in the right hands but more help will be needed. “We want to encourage everyone to help out and contribute to SCA,” says Ms. Moretti, “especially homeroom representatives and those who ran for office but weren’t elected.”
We should acknowledge everyone who campaigned, and those who won, but remember that student government is a community effort that requires all of our support in the upcoming year.
