May Day is a great undertaking for any one student or
committee. I think that most of us realize this. Henceforth,
in order for GHS to have a successful May Day, we must
have the complete cooperation of countless students. Many of
you raised your hands when the Student Council members
a^ed who would be willing to help. Would you really? We
certainly can’t plan such an important occasion only on prom
ises.
Spring elections will be coming up sooner than you expect.
You juniors and sophomores be thinking seriously about run
ning for some office in your student government. If you want
to do something for your school and lellow students, here’s
here’s your chance. You’U hear more about how to apply to
run for an office later this month.
Let’s remember the third point of our Honor Code. “To
respect school property”, and don't forget to use it in our
everyday life.
