What’s Poppin’ with Student Council

By Habsa Dia

The secret organization that you hear so little about is rounding up the year with a couple events. One is the spring rewards. Just like last semester’s rewards, it has the same qualifications to participate:

* Two or less tardies to class.
* Only one unexcused absence or tardy to school.
* No major referrals.

If you meet all these requirements, you will be taking part on a voyage to Jimmie’s Rolledrome on Friday, May 22nd during 5th and 6th periods. If you need a reminder on this information or just a colorful place to look instead of staring at blank walls while walking, I recommend you go see the wonderful posters around the school located in the front lobby, in the bubble between Graves Avenue and second hall, and in front of the attendance office.

Also for senior student council members out there wanting some of that college cash, be sure to apply for the LMHS Student Council Scholarship. It’s due by Thursday, May 14th to our overseer, Mrs. Lawson. So please stop by and pick up an application. The only seniors that received an application, during our last meeting for this year, are the organization leaders and our newly appointed king, senior Sarah Singleton.

As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end.” But in this case, all great things must come to an end. Noble leaders must step down and let the next era remain in their shadow, never to outshine them. Great leaders have to move on up to higher challenges and take on the world. They shall graduate and leave behind a superb legacy.

This era of greatness is truly meeting its end, seeing that even our amazing overseer has decided to step down. While the magnificent Mrs. Lawson plans on resigning from her position to focus on other school functions, our king speaks for us all when she had said, “It was pretty fun with Lawson. It wouldn’t be the same with any other teacher.”

To the group of officers that will chase the reins of Student Council: Good luck. Even though all of us are soon going to go our separate ways, as Mrs. Lawson splendidly puts it, we will always be the “koolest kats in towne.”
