lone Middle School casts ballots
By Rhonda Wilhelm

for the school.
The candidates for president
were Amellia Peck and Adam
McCabe. The w inner was
Amellia Peck. The candidates for
vice president were Cameron
Krebs, Til Tullis and C aitlin
Orem. The elected candidate was
Cameron Krebs. The candidates
for treasurer were Cayle Krebs,
Jeff Hunt and Jaysi Bennetto. The
votes were close, but Cayle Krebs
won. The candidates for secretary
were Diana McElligott, Sarah
Barrow and Billy Gates. The win
ner was Diana McElligott.
Before the votes were cast,
Salli McElligott made a speech on
how the votes were important,
how they affect the middle school
and that voters should not vote for
someone because they are popu
lar.
The speeches were presented
appropriately by the candidates.
All the candidates running had
campaign managers that were
aggressive. They had posters and
signs; some even had stickers that
the voters wore.
Everyone had fun in this elec
tion, trying to get people to think
a certain way and vote for certain
people. The votes that were cast
were all close. "It was a very
worthwhile learning experience,”
said an IMS student.
