“Every day you meet someone new who’s done amazing things,” he said. “You learn so much from them.”
DeAngelo said she has wanted to be a Class Marshal since her freshman year. “I love tradition, and I love the fact that Class Marshals have been around for a long time,” she said.
The Class Marshals were picked from a group of 63 seniors, which was narrowed down to a field of 16 before the final eight were chosen.
Nearly 1,000 seniors participated in the final round of voting, according to an email from HAA coordinator for student outreach Clint Ficula, and about a half an hour before polls closed, he said that only two votes separated the candidates for first and second Class Marshal.
Rounding out the list of class marshals are Oluwadamilola “Dammy” Akinfenwa ’12 of Cabot House, Matthew J. DaSilva ’12 of Adams House, and Barthalomew “B.A.” Sillah ’12 of Eliot House.
