With the Twilight Club not having met since “before (winter) break,” its status remains unchanged. “Nothing’s changed,” club sponsor Wendy Gerardot said. As for what she thinks will happen, Gerardot said, “Pretty much the clubs done, I would guess, because I haven’t talked to (Jamelynn “Jaymo” Callahan, president and creator of the Twilight Club and senior).”
Regarding the lack of communication, Callahan said, “I need to really get on this, I feel really bad about it, I keep thinking about it, and I’ve had several people come up to me and ask me whether or not we are going to continue the club or if it’s canceled or what’s going on, so I really need to talk to (Gerardot).”
She said she attributed the current situation to conflicts with her schedule and difficulties regarding her senior year. “I’ve had really bad senioritis, which is a ridiculous reason not to do anything, but it really kicked in and I’ve had my job and I’ve been preparing for softball season to start up as well, and I also have the whole senior thing where I’m trying to plan my senior graduation party and applying to colleges as well,” she said.
“I think Jaymo just enjoyed the last part of the senior year,” said Gerardot.
With the relatively little amount of time left in the school year, Gerardot said more meetings seem unlikely.
“At this point they’re not going to do anything because there’s just not much time left,” she said, “I’m sure that (Callahan) could get a couple people to come and get together but the only advantage is that if she got something going again then those people might want to continue it next year, but I don’t expect anything to happen.”
On the continuation of the club, Callahan said, “If I were approached by (people wanting to take over the club), then I would like to hand it off to them so they could maybe make the club better if they even wanted to take it over.”
Regardless of what happens, Callahan said she does not plan to officially end the club. But in the opinion of Gerardot, “It’s just done.” By Maxime Berclaz <[email protected]>
