Congradulations, Mr. President

This year, the SCA attempted something new: instead of just voting for SCA president in an SCA meeting, they would elect two candidates to run for office and be voted in by the student body. This year, the candidates were Isaiah Addair and Mitchell Cook, both of the junior class. This year’s winner was Mitchell Cook, and he shall be the SCA president for the 2015-2016 school year.

Isaiah and Mitchell both gave their speeches on April First, or April fool’s day, which was also the day voting took place. No, the votes were not a joke. Mitchell won against Isaiah in a close race, and either candidate was amply equipped to handle the job. Mitchell had already started a chess club for next year, and Isaiah also planned on adding some new clubs. It just so happened that Mitchell was elected, and I would like to personally congratulate him.

After finding out he had won the election, Mitchell jested: “Now I just need someone to be my Marilyn Monroe.” Oh dear, Mitchell, that’s a very large request even for Rural Retreat High School’s SCA President.

Again, congratulations, Mr. President. May your years in office be numerous.

P.S. I’ve recently discovered that SCA president only works for one school year, being that next year Mitchell will be a senior. May your year in office be good, Mitchell.
