SBP Jeremy Weprich and SOH David Chiang know each other well enough to see each other’s flaws

What are your goals as SBP?
My main goals for SBP are closing any obstructions that separate the Cabinet and the House and trying to work more together as one body of student government and to accomplish the different events and goals at our school more productively. I definitely want to work towards improving the relationship between Cabinet and Senate and working together as one student government organization instead of a divided one.
What do you feel you can bring to the table as our new SBP?
As SBP I feel like I can bring three years of getting to know a large portion of the student body which is definitely helpful in organizing events and working together when I know a lot of people from different groups. I think I’m really friendly and knowledgeable about a wide array of things that involve student government so hopefully the combination of those things can lead to a good leader.
Do you feel you and David will be able to work well together?
David and I go way back, and we’ve been friends, classmates and members of orchestra since the sixth grade, so we definitely know how to work together and how to have each other to lean on, what faults we have and our strengths and weaknesses.
What ideas do you have for the 2010-2011 school year?
I definitely want my senior year and the years of everyone else at CHS to be remembered not only as a year where we made groundbreaking achievements, school records or record attendance at events, but also a year where people have memories that are actually going to last because of how well-executed events are and how well the student body is incorporated, and making sure no one is singled out.
Tips to start a business

Businesses are difficult to manage for anyone, let alone students. Students need to not only make sure their business is a success, but also learn the qualities it takes to be a good business person and boss. According to business teacher Joy Law, there are many steps a student should take to ensure his or her business is successful.
“First of all, students who are really interested in starting their own business should try and take as many business classes as possible,” Law said via e-mail. Then they should look for their target market, basically, the customers to whom they are trying to sell their product. Once students know their target market, Law said students should do research on how to reach these customers. Utilizing the radio, television, magazines, community events and mailings would help students reach these customers.

When did you learn to play chess?
I used to play chess when I was six with my family when I was bored. I joined a school chess team. I then took ten years off from playing chess. Then, I started coming to Chess Club.
How can someone improve his or her chess game?
That’s an easy answer. You just have to play more games. Every game teaches you something.
How have you improved Chess Club?
We’ve obviously done in-studio announcements. We’ve also done pizza days. Recently, we had a March Madness tournament where the person with the most accurate bracket won a free chess board.

By Erum Rizvi
When did you first start dancing Lessons?
I started dancing around four years ago. I guess starting in gymnastics first led me to transferring over to dance. For example, we did ballet dancing in gymnastics and that helped me with dancing later on.
Is there someone who inspired you to dance?
Not really anyone in particular, but I spend a lot of time on YouTube watching videos of dancing and some of the choreographers in those are pretty inspiring.

<rwarshawsky@hilite.org>
How did you get started?
I first became interested in playing table tennis in fourth grade when I saw my relatives playing for fun. I convinced my dad to buy a table for our house, and we played together a lot. Also, I saw table tennis on the Olympics and aspired to be somewhat like those players.
Why do you play?
I really enjoy the fast-paced play of table tennis. Also, I enjoy the game because it is cerebral; I have to think every point and use my brain a lot to analyze what the opponent’s next shot will be.
