Of NHS and the Right Candidate
In the crazy world of Hopkins High School today, with its vastly diverse and dysfunctional Student
body, staff, and architects (*cough, fireplace), we can all agree that worthless organizations and
clubs are a waste of time and money. While many clubs are for the enjoyment of the members, some
have become merely College application pads. I believe that, as of right now, NHS is a application
pad. It is a worthless club whose members sit and do nothing, but look good doing it. The
presidents of yesteryear, and candidates for this year are setting up for miraculous mediocrity, in
that they will accomplish nothing, and do jack shit for our school. They will walk out with a
pretty college application, and leave NHS to the worthless teachers' ends. Now, after talking to
Ben Abrams, who plans to run for President, I am convinced that Ben is prepared to take this
cesspool into the 21st century, and produce an influential, worthwhile club that will actually make
a difference in Hopkins. Ben has expressed many progressive ideas for NHS, such as a reformed
application procedure, NHS sponsored debates, the return of Toilet talk (A necessary supplement to
HS life). These changes will, no doubt, significantly help the school for the better. While many
run solely for their own ends, I believe Ben has everyone's best interests in mind, which will pay
off in the long run for all of us.
