Highacres Coll
These are a few of my
immediate goals. I will do
my best to do whatever is
best for Highacres. lam open
to suggestions, and will try
to make the activities of
S.G.A. known to all students.
I ask for the support
of the students, especially
in activities planned for the
students. Nothing will work
without everyone becoming in
volved and helping out when
help is needed.
I know that all the rep
resentatives you elected are
willing to work and are very
interested in the well-being
of Highacres. For myself and
for all the others you elected
to S.G.A., I want to thank you,
the students, for giving us
the students for giving us
the chance to serve you.

The following is a state
ment from Ricky Nork, the new
ly elected President of S.G,A:
I will promote more activ

dents closer together.
I will continue to fight
to keep the public off the ten
nis courts if the matter is
not resolved before the end of
this year.
I will try to stop grades
from being sent to parents,
but rather have them sent to
the students themselves.
