Presidential candidates offer major qualification
What is your major qualification
for the office you are running
for? Why?
I believe that my major quali
fication would be National Hon
or Society Commissioner. Hold
ing this office has given me a
great sense of responsibility to
ward the students of Grant high
school. Serving as Program
Commissioner, I am not only re
sponsible for the smooth run
ning of each meeting, but also to
the society itself.
Also an important qualifica
tion to me is the spirit, pride,
and respect I have in my school.

would be to help stimulate a
spirit of loyalty, respect, and
pride in our students.
—Joanne Obinger
This term strife has arisen be
tween the General and Executive
Councils. One of my main ob
jectives will be to bring these
councils closer so that the road
to government will run smooth
er. This can be accomplished
with able leaders who can com
municate both ideas and friend
ship to this representative body.
—Kimberly Patterson
The experience I gained in
serving as a student body offi
cer last year has given me the
proper perspective on the Stu
dent Body Presidency. I worked
with the council and learned
that cooperation is important to
get things done. The President’s
job entails accepting and some
times placing responsibility, and
the weakness of past councils
has been the inability to com
plete worthwhile tasks. I would
like to see a council of “doers.”
—Mike Hoffman
I think the best qualification
I have is an active interest in
student government, and a reali
zation that there is a great deal
wrong with it. I think I have
demonstrated both these qualifi
cations with active participation
in Boys’ League and the General
Council. I have entered student
elections and have held mem
bership in interest clubs. These
qualifications plus a plan for
strengthening student govern
ment are all I claim.
—Brad Owens
The major qualification I have
for this office is my experience
in the affairs of student govern
ment since my freshman year.
As Sophomore Class President I
worked very closely with the
Student Body President and
Vice-president on all matters
concerning the Executive Coun-
cil, especially the important
Spring Carnival. My positions of
leadership, I believe, indicate an
ability to successfully and re
sponsibly extend the superb
work of the Fall Executive

This office affords one of the
greatest chances for a person to
show initiative. I have always
felt this way and this is one of
my reasons for running for of
fice. I don’t believe we are in
need of great changes, it is the
small actions that make the dif
ference.
—Andy Gill
The General Council is not a
farce. Much of the legislation
initiated in this body is killed or
I feel that the problem of stu
dent body government at Grant
cannot be improved by specific
changes. It functions quite well
now according to the way it op
erates. The main improvement
that I would strive for is to try
to improve the communication
between the student and student
government.

drastically modified in the Exec
utive Council. As president, I
would seek modifications in the
Constitution and general attitude
so that General Council legisla
tion would have a chance to ben
efit the student body.

Student government will nev
er be effective unless the stu
dents recognize the lack of pride
in our school. Grant is worthy
of an undying spirit because of
many reasons. If elected Vice-

I know enough little parlia
mentary tricks that I’m sure I
could eliminate much of the con
fusion of the present meetings.
And with a stable basis to begin
with, I could probably make one
of the most progressive General
Councils in some time. It could
act as a unit. —Jack Mishler
What have you done for the schol that makes you qualified to run for office?
I have tried to participate in
as many things as possible. Until
this year, I have not had much
responsibility in leadership posi
tions, but I have enjoyed it thus
far. I feel I have a little exper
ience in the workings of the
school.
—Nora Mumford
As sophomore Girls’ League
President and also working with
Girls’ League, I have learned the
activities of Girls’ League and
the responsibilities of its Presi
dent. I also feel that being Art
Staff Co-chairman and junior
class treasurer gives me back
ground.
—Nancy O’Brien
My participation on the as
sembly committee, on the Stu
dent Guidance Commission, and
in Girls’ League has made me
aware of what Grant is. Having
worked on these committees in
the past qualifies me, I believe,
for the position of Girls’ League
President.
—Mary Parker
