After a selection of short speeches from candidates and a vote from Student Senate members, Ania Naso ‘25 was chosen as Student Senate vice president Tuesday morning. 

Naso wants to focus on better food and drink at dances, especially homecoming. She highlighted the importance of providing food and drink for underclassmen, which she said would make the dance feel a little more special. 

“I feel like it’s really depressing that [the underclassmen] only have water at homecoming,” Naso said. “They don’t even have water cups. They have to drink it out of the fountain,”

“I wanted to run for vice president because there are a lot of changes that I want to see made, and I had my opportunity,” Naso said after the election. “I’m actually pretty surprised [that I was elected].”

Unlike the senior class president elections, where only seniors could vote, anyone who showed up to the student senate meeting could vote for vice president. This is in line with the elections for secretary and treasurer.

The decision to hold an election for vice president is an unconventional shift from the norm. Usually, candidates for senior class president run with a running mate. However, Nick Tran chose not to select a vice president last spring. 

That said, Tran was pleased with the outcome of the election.

“[The outcome of the election] was pretty good,” Tran said. “[Ania and I] will talk and work things out together.”

But the vice president election isn’t the only vote on the recent docket. All City High students are able to vote for this year’s homecoming theme, and next Tuesday, elections for secretary and treasurer will take place in Mr. Tygrett’s room at 8:15 am.
