Officer's
Minute
Eric Yao, a candidate in this year's state elections,
answers questions about the process.
I plan on continuing my Latin
studies through college thanks to
my teacher, Mr. Ward. When I
started Latin in middle school, I
planned to stop after fulfilling my
minimum reqs, but thanks to him
I was introduced to a whole
community of people and a whole
new love for the language
What’s your favorite TV show?
Well, until "Game of Thrones"
returns, my favorite show would
have to be "The Good Doctor." It's
really funny and has caused me
to stay up way too late on many
school nights haha.
Finally, do you have any tips for
future editors?
Do your best to communicate
with everyone that will help you
make the publication. It is most
definitely not a one-man job. I
made that mistake early on and
caused me to make some pretty
bad publications. Also, do your
best to not procrastinate. Take
pride in your work, and other
people will see it too.
THE BREAKDOWN
How would you describe
what you do ? Do you have any personal
goals for the coming year?
I’m in charge of creating the
local publications. My co-
editor, Oliver Long, and I
work together to make a full
publication every two
months detailing the events
that happen in our local
chapter. I also submit an
entry to the state publication,
the Alae, everytime that it is
published as well. I am planning on running for
state office at this year's
convention! I have been
assembling my portfolio
since last semester and hope
to make a bigger impact on
the state level.

Will the classics be a part of
your future? How did you
first become interested in
them?
