SGA's purpose is to carry out school activities such as dances, homecoming, and pep rallies. SGA se- nior Jenny Jurasek said. Co-sponsor Wanda Harris said that this is her first year as co-sponsor of SGA. SGA is similar to drill team; school spirit is our purpose, she said. Harris is also the sponsor of drill team. She said that sponsoring both is easy because of their similarity. Senior Shelley Baker said that this is her fourth year to be in SGA. The activities that SGA are involved in are important to student life such as dances and homecoming, she said. We have to put forth a lot of effort or else the work won't get done. SGA senior Patrick Miller said SGA's purpose is to let student's voices be heard and represented by the students chosen to be leaders by their peers. I think the majority of our members are dedicated and give a lot of effort, Miller said. Co-sponsor Beth Smith said that SGA is a very close representation of the student's feelings and ideas. We’re responsible for the changes that better suit the students' needs. she said. — by Darryl Hampton LET’S EAT. Before school started in September.
