Class Council for 2006 - by Melissa L. '06

The class council election results are in for next year’s senior class! Stephanie P., Joe S., Eric M., Josan J., and Aisha H. were elected as the new class council for the class of 2006.
A long junior class meeting was held in the auditorium of Union County Magnet High School from 8-9AM on May 27, 2006, where every student had the opportunity to hear the promising campaigns of each candidate. Each candidate was given time to give a brief speech on his/her ideas for the upcoming year. Afterwards, the junior class audience had the chance to ask any questions pertaining to the future class council’s objectives.
After the class meeting, each student returned to his/her first period class and voted. Stephanie won against Lauren B. for Senior Class President, and Stephanie believes it will be a promising year for the graduating class of 2006. Eric won against Michelle M. for Senior Class Treasurer, and Josan and Aisha, who were both unopposed, won for Secretary and Class Representative. Joe, who won against Melissa L. for Vice President, made a compelling speech about his ideas on the upcoming year.
“I want our class to have the best senior trip ever,” exclaims Joe. “We deserve it. My goal is to bring out class together and raise enough money to have a decent trip that we can all remember.”
The decision on who the future Senior Class Historian will be is still pending, and the candidates are filling the halls with their colorful posters, hoping for a spot on the council.
“I love taking pictures,” says Kirk I., a candidate for Historian. “And I also want to make a difference. It’s my last year, and I want to help my class by giving them something I’m good at – taking pictures.”
Kirk is currently running against Sasha T. and Lauren B. The results for the future Class Historian should be in by the end of this week. Hopefully, this new class council will be able to reach their goals and bring the class of 2006 together, making their graduating year a year to remember.
