Impeachment brings new leadership By a unanimous vote of 21-0, the Senior Class Council elected Kris Pugliani President of the Senior Class. Former Class President Jim DeMarte was impeached for not attending Council meetings and failing to carry out his Class Council responsibilities. He had not shown up for a meeting since November nor had he helped with the Senior Class sponsored Beach Party or the special project for Lutheran General Hospital. Mrs. Schreiber summed up the situation with her comment "We had no leadership." The Senior Class Council is responsible for many all-school activities including Homecoming, the Beach Party, and the special project; the Council is also responsible for many senior functions such as Senior Superlatives, Senior Breakfast, Senior Prom, "Senior Week," emceeing Senior Honors Night, and speeches at Commencement. The impeachment process used by the Class Council followed the Class Council Constitution as well as due process laws and student rights. Section 6 of the constitution, which deals with the replacements of officers states that "an officer who misses three or more meetings and is in school for those days may be replaced by a majority vote of the members present and voting, providing notice has been given prior to the last violation." DeMarte had been sent two warning letters before any steps towards his impeachment were taken.
