Anthony Lopresti is this year’s Sergeant-at-Arms, who began his time as emcee at the year’s first pep rally. He feels that the school’s reaction to the pep rally was pretty positive and that the pep rally was great.

“I feel like it went pretty well, but we had to cut out a few games because of technical difficulties,” said Lopresti.

His main job is to help organize and carry out any events having to do with spirit. As well as looking forward to the future pep rallies, he also can’t wait for homecoming set up since he will be in a  major leadership role. Many of the SCA members run cross country and won’t be able to make it, so the decorating will be in the hands of the decorating committee of 30 hand selected students.
