High Five: Dream date
Columist
By the power of Grayskull, we made it through another year of Trivia! I could have sworn half the campus was sleepwalking on Monday, including yours truly! I am sure you remember that I refused to align my trivial mind with any one team, but I did stay awake for the duration of the contest as a show of support for those who did. And I did it all the natural way by dancing to my little heart’s content.
While my sleep schedule has returned to normalcy, I am afraid there is no rest for a busy Point student. Between preparing the story of my superhero friend, making arrangements for graduation galas, broadsword training, assigning humorous pet names to all of my friends and keeping up with the growing number of High Five commitments, I’ve been getting stretched pretty thin. If it wasn’t for Avra’s signature, patent-pending meditation and relaxation techniques, I just can’t say how completely willy-nilly I’d be by now!
However, I, of course, have news for you, dear readers. Surely all of you are well aware the 2009 Division of Communication Awards Banquet is fast approaching. And I’m sure you are equally aware that I will being presented with a very prestigious award at the ceremony. What most of you don’t know is that you could potentially accompany me to this momentous occasion! High Five is proud to announce the “Be Steve Danger’s Date for the Comm Banquet” contest!
Yes , this invitation is being extended to all of the fair maidens of UW-SP and beyond. The winner will accompany me to the ceremony at the Stevens Point Country Club on May 3, free of charge, thanks to a very charitable donation from the High Five Worldwide Fan Club. They’ve even factored in the price of gas for when the lucky lady is picked up by Sheila and me the day of the event. A great time to be had by all is virtually assured!
All parties interested in applying for this prestigious position can seek out the event on Facebook, e-mail me or simply drop applications off in “The Pointer” office. All applicants are expected to provide their name as they wish to be called, a phone number they can be easily reached at and any other information they feel is pertinent to increasing their chance of winning. The winner will be chosen this Friday, April 24 at 11:30 a.m. Good luck and ooh la la to all entrants!
Before we part this week, I’d like to spend a few minutes thanking all of you for reading this year. Sadly, my time at “The Pointer” is drawing to a close, but there are great things in store for the future! First of all, my good friend Jacob Mathias has been chosen as the next editor-in-chief and there couldn’t be a more qualified or more handsome man for the job. I almost wish I was hanging around just to get to work with him. However, where I may not go, my friends can! Jake is still piecing together his staff and is in dire need of personnel. Can you write clearly, concisely and in accordance with AP style? Would you like to learn how and earn a little money in the process? Join “The Pointer!” Unfortunately, the space currently allotted to me has already been filled, but there are plenty of real jobs still available! You can be the voice of this campus! Applications and interview times are available and all you have to do is come visit Jake in our fair office. Don’t worry, he’s a li’l friendly teddy bear!
