A willingness to serve is displayed by students during elections On the stage, eleven people rose and promised to serve Grimsley faithfully. They were the newly elected sopho- more members of Student Council, but this was not the beginning for them. The beginning came when each indi- vidual decided to run. Then came hours of preparing campaign banners, speaking to people, suffering stage fright, and worrying the night before elections. Not everyone can be elected to an office, but everyone can display a willingness and enthusiasm to serve, whether peddling pencils, participating in a pep board skit, per- forming in the band, or playing on a team. Not all services gain the student body recognition. Some students serve in small ways: by helping a student gather dropped papers, listening to a friend's problems, helping a new teacher quiet a class, or simply smiling at a stranger. These are the things which help to develop the character of an individual and a student body. Some students fabovej go to extreme heights to push their favorite candidate to the top of the ballot. Voter registration frigh U is a time-consuming task, but worth the effort fora smooth-running election. Time and work put into a campaign by a candidate and his supporters sometimes bring a victory.
