Belinda Lieba (9th grade): Skittles on a bagel with chips.

Cory Franklin (9^th grade): A melon Gatorade, and a chocolate brownie.

 Stephanie Sosa (9^th grade): Bagel, cream cheese, hot Cheetos and nacho cheese.

Paige Connell  (12^th grade): Crushed up dry Top Ramen on a bagel with cream cheese.

   Interested in becoming a school leader and expanding your high school experiences? QHS will soon be holding ASB and class officer elections. So what is ASB all about.
   The student government at Quincy Junior Senior High School is made up of a governing body called the Student Congress, and all student body officers are collectively known as the student council. Class and club officers are voting members of student congress and attend all meetings unless in the case of an excused absence.
   In order for student congress to conduct official business, a quorum must be present. A quorum consists of 51% of the voting members of Student Congress. The voting members are: all students body officers, all class and club officers, and all fifth period representatives.
   To run for any Student Body office one must follow these guidelines:

·          Achieve at least a 2.5 GPA at the third quarter.

·          No “F” grades from the third quarter.

·          Enrolled at Quincy High at the time of the term of office.

·          No Student Body Officer may hold another body, class or club office   during his/her term of office.

   There are five different ASB positions: the President, Vice President, Secretary, treasurer, and the Student Body Representatives. Duties of the President include, but are not limited to: presiding overall ASB meetings, and organizing and directing activities of the Student Body.
   As Vice President one’s duties would include planning and presiding over all pep assemblies, and presiding over all pep assemblies. Also the VP is responsible for taking over, if the president is absent.
   One duty of the secretary is keeping attendance figures of all meetings.  He/she also keeps a file of all Student Congress minutes, voting records, and attendance figurers for the President, and Vice President, and the Student Body.
   If you are interested in being a Treasurer, here are some of the duties you will be responsible for: keeping the Student Body financial books accurate and updated, always recording all of purchase orders, and for issuing checks and paying Student Body bills.
   Don’t forget grades are very important. If you receive an “F” or fall below a 2.5 GPA at any quarter following the election, you will loose your office position.
   All classes elect four officers: President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. The nomination of the class officer is held the Monday immediately following the ASB election and the election results are submitted to the Student Congress Advisor the following Friday. To be eligible to run for or hold a class office position, a student must meet the same requirements as those running for a Student Body Office. Duties of class offices are similar to those of the ASB Officers, but they apply only to the specific class. Class officers are also responsible for organizing class homecoming activities and other events during the school year, including dances and fundraisers.
   Being an ASB officer can be hard, but it can also be rewarding. To rephrase what John F. Kennedy said, ask not what your school can do for you but what you can do for your school!

QHS WANTS YOU to be involved in ASB!
