The three candidates for the Presidency were Samantha Honig, Evan Koenig, and Karen Levy. Candidates for Vice- President were Robert Chang, Wendy Epstein, Kevin Friedman, and |onathan Harris. The open positions were taken by President Samantha Honig. and Vice- President Jonathan Harris. There was a great deal more competition for the Freshman Class offices because all candidates were en- couraged. Those running for President were Kim Buchbinder, Jennifer Cohen, and Chi-Won Suk. Candidates for the office of Vice-President were Tamar Davir, Sari Leichter, and Meri Sachs. Those running for Secretary were Betty Amirian. Jennifer Halpern, Amy Markowitz, and Lisa Pollard, and those for Treasurer were Doug Baumstein, Julie Brecher, Erin Miller, and Nancy Soleymani. After all the votes were cast, the four winners were declared — Chi-Won Suk for President, Sari Leichter for Vice-President, Lisa Pollard for Secretary, and Doug Baumstein for Treasurer. Hopefully, the elected students will fulfill their responsibilities and make significant strides in getting a good head start in raising money for the Prom.
