Eerie correlations found between 97-98 class presidents

Two out of fliree rising class presi
dents listened to tbe New Kids On Tbe
Blockinthelrfonnativeyears.Experts
disagree m what tbis will oieao for
Mo«ditb’$ future.
Rebecca Huffstetler of Mount
Holly, NC, will be next year’s Senior
Gass President. Huffstetler said ber
interest in Meredith College can be
traced as far back as tbe eighth grade,
who¥ sbe picked Meredith to research
for a project on colleges because she
‘'liked the name."
"Tbe more I found out about
(Meredith), tbe more I found out it
suited my needs. Meredith really pre
pares you for tbe future,” Huffst^er
said. As f(v tbe senior class' future,
Huffstetler plans to help her class “go
out wilb a bang,” and enjoy its last
months at Meredith. Immediately af
ter ^adnatioo, HuH’stetla may pursue
a master’s degree, but whether she
cboosestooTDoi, she will“teachmiddle
sdiool, DO matter wbat.”
Huffstetler’s years before East
Gaston High School included a brief
affection for the New Kids On The
Block, involving the purchase of thdr
ture. “Junior year is a big year—get
ting our lings and all. I want to get a lot
of people involved with Comhuskin',
tbe ring dimier. I thinlc as we get closer
aod chose Meredith to achieve her
goals because of its size, and because
she diought “an all-womao environ
ment would be fun.” Hudson notes

first and second albums.
Thejunior class will be led tlirough
the year by Richmond, Virginia’sGin-
ger Hudson. Hudson was exception
ally enthusiastic about her class’ fu
to tbe end. we’ll get more excited and
involved,” she said. Hudson, a child
devebpment major, plans to get certi
fied to kindergarten through sixth
grade. “Hove children,” sheexplaioed,
sbe’s “never beard a bad thing” about
Meredith, and that only encouraged
her selection. Wben sbe's not leading
her class to great things, Hudson may
be found playing lacrosse for N.C.
State’s club team—no easy feat. Less
easy is believing Hudson also listened
to New Kids On Tbe Block in middle
school, and even went to an NKOTB
concert with her dad, who “had to sit
through all three hours of it”
Alison Flood of Havelock, NC,
will retain her position as her class
president as it progresses to sopho
more. Flood hopes, “for this year as
for last year,” to “continue unity and
pride in the Meredith community.”
Flood “enjoys hearing concerns and
being involved,” and plans to continue
running for office to keep working for
Meredith and her class. She picked
Meredith because it is “a smaller
school,” with a lower scudent-teacber
ratio. “Meredith has a great name, and
is known as a good school throughout
North Carolina,” Rood said. She laid
no claim to the New Kids, but men
tioned she listens to Irish musical ge
nii The Pogues, which, as Flood said,
“may not be embarrassing, but people
look at me funoy when I say it”
