President and senior Jed Straessle said, \u201cI\u2019ve played a big part in the senior year of so many other people. It has been a big responsibility, sometimes stressful and exhausting, but mostly rewarding and so much fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vice President and senior Ben Bauer felt that his leadership role primarily impacted his point of view of the school. \u201cBeing a class officer has definitely kept me busy this past year. It has also given me an appreciation for all faculty members who do so much for the school behind the scenes,\u201d said Bauer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were so many exciting events that the officers developed this year for the student body. From No Shave November to the Intramural Tournament, they were certainly busy. However, the event that they are proudest of was this year\u2019s Homecoming in October. Straessle said, \u201cI think the Western Homecoming was my favorite thing we pulled off. It was our first big test as Officers and we worked so hard for it, so when the dance was finished &#8212; I felt a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that this school year is rounding to a close, the 2022 officers are hanging up their hats for now and leaving the job ready for next year\u2019s seniors. However, they cannot say goodbye without sharing what they learned this year with next year\u2019s potential officers. \u201cIf you win the election, try to do the most for the school, but also have as much fun as possible,\u201d said Bauer. On the other hand, Straessle emphasized the importance of decision-making. He said, \u201cDon\u2019t get bogged down by the people that don\u2019t support your decisions &#8212; there are absolutely going to be those people, but it\u2019s important to just keep your head up and stick to your decisions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-opinionstage-embed-url=\"https:\/\/www.opinionstage.com\/api\/v1\/placements\/3498975\/code.json\" style=\"display: none; visibility: hidden;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the school year comes to an end, it\u2019s important to acknowledge a few of the many people that kept it moving along.
