When
I began thinking about what it would be like to be the
Senior Class President, I really didn't know what to
expect. I did soon realize that, even though it sounded
nice and looked good, it isn't the title that makes it
important. What does make it important is the fact that I
know I can get things done the way our senior class wants to
get things done. To make it short and sweet, I believe
08-09 should be all about you. I am Amy
Boone and I'm running for president of the Senior Class of
08-09. When you think about your last year in high school,
what will you remember the most? Whatever it is that you
hold most memorable, I will make sure that it happens and
happens smoothly and correctly for you. I envision
2009 as a memorable and exciting year full of fun and
memories – and of course our senior prom. Currently, we do
not have the sufficient amount of money to fulfill our
expectations. But we do earn most of our money during our
senior year. I am dedicated to the responsibilities and
jobs as being president that will change our current
situation and help us to have a profitable and enjoyable
senior year. I have had
previous experience with homecoming preparations and other
organized events. I also have great rapport with
administrations which will come in handy during our senior
year. As president, I will put forth my best effort to get
things approved and working fast. I want this to be a fun
and exciting year just as much as every one of you does, but
I can’t do it by myself. Remember I
don’t want to be your class leader but I want you
to have a fun and an awesome senior year. By electing
me Senior Class President you are putting some
one in office that is going to take your
suggestions, your ideas, and your
interests and put them into action, not just do everything
that a minority of the seniors wants to do. I will work to
accommodate everyone’s ideas and opinions as President of
the Senior Class. So, as you vote for Senior
Class President of 2009 – keep this in mind: Remember, it’s
all about YOU, it’s all about us and it’s all about
08-09! If you want it to be about YOU; choose
Amy Boone 2009 Senior Class President. “If you
vote for Amy Boone, you’re voting for what you want.”
Danielle Whitmore
Last
year, as a junior class officer, I really enjoyed knowing
that I made a direct impact on the progression of our class
towards our senior year. This year I would like to make an
even greater
impact
by becoming your senior class president.
I’ve come to realize that by just changing a few small
things, a huge, positive difference can be made. Firstly, I
believe that no matter where an officer goes, they should
carry themselves as a representative of their school and
class, and should be held accountable for their actions
outside of school. I strive to put my best foot forward
wherever I go because I am proud to be a MacArthur High
School student, and it is this attitude that will get our
class and our school well
earned recognition. Secondly, I will make sure that I listen
to everything that you tell me about our class, and that
your comments are voiced among the other officers. I will
also make sure to reiterate any guaranteed decisions and
changes about our class back to you, my fellow classmates. I
think it is very important that you know all that is going
on. Lastly, I think we should have open class meetings
periodically through the school year so that those others
than officers are able to voice their opinions as well.
These decisions and changes affect the whole class, and
should largely be based on the needs and great suggestions
of the class. I believe that the abilities to listen, to
organize, to influence and relate to other people and
situations are behaviors that reflect a good leader, and are
qualities that I possess. I will use these qualities to
voice and implement the changes necessary to make our last
year at MacArthur the greatest one yet!
Esteban Silva
The
notion of equality has been vastly overestimated in our
lives and strangely enough in our schools. We take for
granted the idea, assuming that we are all given the same
equal opportunities, entitled to the same rights, and
following the same rules, but I am here to tell you that
that is unfortunately far from the truth. I see a problem in
this situation that we can rectify as a student body. I see
a positive future, one in which everyone is equally
represented and an era of good citizenship and prosperity
thrives through the halls of Macarthur. My name is Esteban
Silva, and I'm here to revolutionize* the way you think of
your president.
Vice President
Bethany Maynard
I’m
Bethany Maynard and I am running for our Senior Class
Vice-President. I would like to be your Vice-President
because I really
want to raise as much money as possible for our Prom. I have
been a class officer for the past two years and would like
to move forward and become Vice-President. I will better our
grade and help us to have the best prom this school has ever
seen.
KeKe Ransfer
Hi
my name is Keke Ransfer and I am running for the class of
2009 Vice-President. Throughout the process of finding
student and teacher supporters, one question has numerously
been asked, “What can I do as vice-president that the other
candidates can’t?” My answer to that is very simple,
NOTHING! All of the candidates can do the same things, just
in different ways. The thing that separates me from the
other candidates is my ambition. I can’t assure the class
of 2009 that they will dominate the school and every rule
they feel is unnecessary will be changed, but I can assure
them that our senior year will be one they will never
forget. As a member of Student Council, MacArthur Choir,
PALS, Big Brother Big Sister, The Dallas Academy of Black
Arts and Letters Youth Chorus, MacArthur Band TA Intern, and
a Teen Court attorney, I know what being a leader is all
about as well as the responsibilities that come along with
it. That’s why I am asking you to vote for me on Election
Day as vice-president, because knowing that I will take part
in making our senior year so spectacular, I will strive to
do all I can. I will listen to my fellow class mates and
their opinions on what they feel our class should do to help
raise money for education opportunity’s involving colleges,
our prom, and raising money in general for the class of
2009. I will try in the best way possible to get approved
fundraisers that our class will be excited to take part in,
ones that aren’t “the usual”; something new and outside of
the box. I will stay determined until the last minute of
every school day, I will stay committed to my duties, I will
keep a positive attitude, but most importantly I will work
hard alongside the president to help come to a compromise
with the students, and principals on issues that seem a
little shabby, or there is always a hassle about. So once
again, help me to help you have and enjoy the senior year
you’ve always wanted by voting Keke Ransfer for the class of
2009 Vice-President.
Lauren Robbins
Hello
Macarthur Cardinals, class of 2009! My name is Lauren
Robbins and I'm running for Vice President for our senior

Melissa Baros
I would
like to be Vice President of the senior class next year
because I believe it would be an amazing experience. Knowing
that I was a part of what made our class as great as it is
would be an honor that I am egger to be a part of. I was an
officer last year and I really enjoyed it and felt like we
really accomplished a lot and would only look forward to
making it even better next year. I am honest, courteous, and
understand the needs of others. I will respect the decisions
of others in our group and express the many activities I
might have in mind to raise money for our class. I know that
there is a lot of work that is required when applying for
this position and I am willing to put forth the time and
effort that is needed to make our class the best it can be.

this year with great memories of the many experiences we
have together. By the end of the year I would like so say I

deal of money because I want one of the best proms ever.
