Future servicemen (clockwise) Barber. Meaden, Salone. and Krone discuss their career plans When I decided to run for Student Representative to the Board of Education, I was not quite sure what I was getting into. Like most people my age, I had never attended a Board meeting, so I was uncertain just what to expect. I soon discovered that the Board of Education is a very important part of the school system, making decisions from the hiring firing of personnel and the choosing of textbooks on up to planning a budget for the upcoming year. Although I don’t have a vote on any issues, I have been asked students1 opinions and reactions to such matters as the cancelling of the fall play and the resoddmg of Loman Field During the meeting, lam given time to tell of happenings here at the high school as well as the athletic and scholastic accomplishments of the students. I consider my experience as a Student Representative to the Board worthwhile and feel lucky to have the opportunity to represent the students' interests Julie Rice 6 Studenl Life
