The results of the elections were posted at Wadsworth House and newly elected marshalls were also notified by phone yesterday afternoon.
"I was really thrilled," Lee said. "It was a cruel thing to make us wait over the weekend."
Lee said she hopes to boost attendance at senior events this spring. She said she also hopes to plan several new events.

Cahn said another goal is to rethink the way in which the class gift is presented.
"One thing we can do differently is instead of giving a lump sum of money, is to direct it to...something more specific to our class," Cahn said.
