Although sever- gi al of the students will be leaving next year, Hoover said, Next year should be better now that I know everyone and will be able to organize everything better. Also, the stu- dents will know what I expect. Hoover con- tinued, The fact that I was new was a disad- vantage at first but everyone pulled together to make it a super year.
