Hi everyone,
The glitches that have plagued the website for the past few weeks have finally been fixed! Our layout is back to normal, and our post uploads should return to their usual speed. Again, we apologize for the interruption and thank you for you patience as we dealt with these issues.

Menlo JCL Webmaster
We leave at 2:00, so tell your teachers that you have to get out early. That is E block that we miss.
The most important things are the cheers. We are taking them from the Sea of Gold cheers. We learned them during the meeting but if you were not there find somebody who knows them.
They are:
Let’s go Menlo (pump with the clubs)
I believe (pointing, requires lots of energy)
Rollercoaster
Then one new one:
Conductor: Who are we?
Everybody else: Menlo?
Conductor: What do we want?
Everybody else: State, state, state, state … (while getting pumped and jumping around).
Convention
Voting delegates: Carla and Ellie
We leave Friday at 2p.m
We need spirit items for 32.
T-shirts and togas for everybody.
Waffle sale
For once we had extra batter and extra strawberries.
We made $438 at the waffle sale.
Banquet
Most likely May 25th.
For the past 2 weeks, the software we use to upload blog posts to the website has been having glitches. As a result, we have switched to a slower but more reliable means of uploading. In addition, the styling for the site has been slightly affected. All content is still up, and the majority of the site is still functional.
We apologize for the issues, and are working on getting the site back up.
