- «« r:- ;, oL •: - - GETTING INTO the student body She ran for a student body of- fice because she wanted to give something bacl to her school. She gave her speech and tried to convince people to vote for her. Her competition was tough, but she didn ' t give up. She wanted the job, she wanted to prove herself, and she wanted to take on the challenge. Sixth period all of the can- didates gathered in a small room to learn the results. There was tension in the air, self-conscious tension. And the winners were . . . but she wasn ' t one of them. Disap- pointment rushed over her. It was as if the whole school said that they didn ' t accept her. She had given her best, and she had been rejected. Losing was a lonely world, a world where the winners shouted for joy, and she wondered why she had even bothered. Running for a student body office or class office wasn ' t all fun and games. It involved a great amount of work and time. I spend anywhere from eight to twenty hours a week perfor- ming my job, said Student Body President Michelle Brown. You have to be willing to work, work, work, and not give up. You have to want to do it for the school and not just your transcript. The respon- sibilities of these positions varied from simple tasks like working in the Student Store to more complicated ones like planning the prom. They handled assemblies, dances, and taking inventory. They created scrapbooks, dress-up days and contests. The list, of course, went on and on. by Michelle Hewn It is not all fun and games.
