The Associated Student Body, or ASB, has had three advisors over the past four years and we sympathize with them for that, but they’ve dealt with the challenges of filling in a new advisor before. The time for them to step up and prove they are leaders is now.

ASB can be commended for some of the events they have executed in the past. Playing music and lunch time activities get students involved and prove to be a good time.

Now they appear to be slacking because they do not have an advisor. It is easy to call yourself a leader, but you have to be able to deliver.

Since they are the Leadership class they should take charge. There isn’t an advisor here who can help them like before. It is up to them to try and get things together. To do this, they would need a team they can count on. There are 54 people in ASB, so there is more than enough people who can help to execute events.

In order for things to go smoothly, communication is key. They need to make sure the juniors and seniors are communicating with the freshmen and sophomores and vice versa. It is also important for them to communicate with the students as a whole.

Sophomore Lexus Applon said that ASB is unorganized and that people have been acting up. To prevent scenes of people acting out, we think that there should be a pre-screening process for potential ASB students.That way, teachers can determine which students are serious about wanting to help plan events for the school and which ones are just looking for an easy A. Applon said that when former ASB teacher Michelle Canfield left, she had the paperwork needed to plan activities.When she left, the paperwork got disorganized and could no longer be used. Paperwork is needed to get things done and the substitute isn’t properly trained to work with it.

Freshman Alexis Villagomez said “When Canfield left everything fell apart. Every time we plan something it doesn’t come out successfully. Our family fell apart.”

When ASB does have events planned and needs to sell tickets, they need Corene Lugo here to handle the money. However, this is difficult because when Lugo isn’t here it’s hard for ASB to function.

When teachers are out they have substitutes to fill in for them. Well, we suggest that there be another person on campus who is authorized to handle the money that ASB makes from selling tickets and what clubs make from fundraisers. So that way ASB can sell tickets or do whatever they need to do that involves money. By next year ASB will have a new advisor — the fourth in five years.

They have pulled off events under an advisor before and it would be inspiring to see them do the
