Congratulations to the newly elected officers of the senior class: president, Kaelee Stuchlik; first vice president, Emily Polt; second vice president, Adam Geiger; secretary, Meghan Vogt; and treasurer, Chelsea Atkins. New student council members from the senior class are Heather Wachter, Joey Koehn, and Jadie Kallhoff.
A meeting for senior graduation will be held October 22. Jostens will be present to discuss ordering class items like announcements, class keys, caps and gowns, memory books, and tee shirts.
Junior Class Meets by Meghan Vogt
The junior class held their annual organizational meeting with sponsor Mrs. Crystal Bauermeister on Tuesday, August 18. The meeting of 56 juniors was held in the high school commons area where Mrs. Bauermeister said, “several topics were discussed.”
The first topic was voting for class officers. Class president is Tanner Dickey; vice president, Briana Adams; Brady Bretschneider is secretary, and class treasurer is Nate Hoferer. Megan Gerteisen and Kristin Canaday head the prom committee. There were no nominees for student council, so no new juniors were added at the time of the meeting.
Next, Mrs. Bauermeister led the discussion of the annual soup supper, put on by the junior class to help raise money for Prom. Each student is required to sell tickets or pay a fine. Most other classes are responsible for paying class dues, but by selling soup supper and raffle tickets, junior dues are covered.
The junior class is also in charge of Prom, the third topic of discussion. Each junior is required to attend at least two planning meetings to be allowed to leave school to decorate on Friday before the celebration.
Vice president Adams said, “The prom theme was voted on last year, but we don’t know results of the voting yet. Decorating will probably be a lot of chaos.”
