After guiding the student body through another suceessful year, the Student Government Association fulfilled its lead ership responsibilities. The SGA was set up to serve the entire student body. With less than fifty offices and over two hun- dred candidates, it was a tribute to the students who won, because there was such a wide selection. The number of candidates that ran for office proved just how much Magnet students love to get involved and every group on campus was represented from the preps and sophisti- cated to the blue-jean coeds and from the intellectually elite to the less inclined stu¬ dents. Since SGA was the chief governing body, its sole obligation was to the stu dent body. Junior Senator Shatarshea Anderson commented, “In my opinion, SGA is the schools leader, it is the schools forward. When I say forward, I mean its leaders, like us, to make our school a spirited, but well-rounded aca demic school. I ve always complained about the things I didn t like in my fresh men and sophomore years. I’ve always said if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Therefore, I ran for senator. Whether it is school spirit or fundraisers, President Rod Caston and Vice-President Bryan Pat terson were elected through school-wide elections. They appointed members of the Executive Board, which includes Monica Viso, secretary; Linh Nguyen, parliamentarian; Rod Caston; Jocelyn Washington, assistant secretary; and Bryan Patterson. tudent government association leads the way Ellected through class voting, the number of senta- tors was based on the total population of each class.
