BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE CLASS OF 2018

By JACK PALMER

Most of the future graduates of the Class of 2018 at Washingtonville High School have been fortunate enough to see each and every one of the amazing events and shows that the student council has miraculously been able to pull off.  Endless gratitude is owed to the four students who have helped make the 2017-2018 school year one full of laughs, smiles, and memories.

Maya Diaz, the president of the Class of 2018, has been the ringleader of all of the fun.  She was the driving force behind all of the senior class events that brought smiles to the faces of everyone lucky enough to be part of the school.  Maya stated, her greatest memory as President is “having the chance to create all these amazing shows for everyone here at Washingtonville.”  It takes more than one to do the job, and Maya wouldn’t be able to pull off all of these amazing activities without help from the rest of her council.

Alexa Siciliano, Maya’s right hand woman, has been there to give a second approval on all of this year’s events and presentations that have given enjoyment to all of the students this year.  Alexa’s favorite part of this year was, without a doubt, “serving under the greatest President that Washingtonville has ever seen and being a part of the greatest class Washingtonville will and has ever seen.” 

Tony Witte, the money man, also known as the treasurer, made sure that all the events were paid for and fully funded.  Tony tried his best to ensure that students could enjoy all of the events and that everyone would go home happy and with a full wallet.  Taking part in some of Washingtonville’s fun filled activities, Tony exclaimed his all time favorite was none other than “being able to host the Lip Sync Battle this year and perform up on the stage one last time.”

Last, but certainly not least, Lauren Merchant is the one who keeps everyone in check.  Lauren makes sure that the rest of the members of the council stay on top of things, while also staying on top of her own duties.  While Lauren does not have one favorite moment from her senior year, she expressed, “Whenever we are all together, it shows how the Class of 2018 truly is a family and how we can all come together to be one WizardNation.”

When asked what the four members of the student council wanted to leave as a lasting memory here at Washingtonville, they all agreed, “We want to leave behind this feeling of togetherness.  The school pride that the class of 2018 has is something that needs to be continued and hopefully become bigger.  We are all Wizards at heart, and that is something that will never change.”  For the classes that come after 2018, be sure to come together as one, and make memories that will last a lifetime.  The Class of 2018 sure did.
