S,S., JO ' becoming a class officer re quires a competitive spirit com- bined with intense dedication. On the first day of school, each student who wished to campaign for a position attended a leader- ship seminar for 2 hours after school. Led by former class offi- cers, the students were advised of the proper leadership techniques necessary for achieving future goals. Speaking to their respective classes, the candidates presented their qualifications, goals, and past experiences in order to convince their classmates of their leadership abilities. But that is not all the campaign drive encompas- sed. Posters and political propa- ganda were spread throughout the halls to capture the students ' eyes and their votes. Once elected, the officers com- menced organization of Field Day. They concentrated primarily on the unification of each class. Although sophomore John Bur- leigh acknowledged that Field Day preparations were hectic and time consuming, he added, It was one of my best experiences as class president. Prom and Sadie Hawkins were next on the agenda for discussion. Although To be a successful and respected leader it ' s necessary to possess great communication skills, responsibility, en- ergy, patience, and most importantly, determina- tion.

As a class officer, one must listen to the suggestions of his or her fellow students. As Sophomore Vice Presi- dent Leesa Miller elaborates, 1 feel good about myself for helping other students.

Senior Class President Mitch Fischer describes student leader- ship as something which a person can benefit from. It relates to many things that I find every day.
