Jukebox Blues
November 24, 2009
Alone and unused, the Jukebox sits in the cafeteria. Jukebox? Yes, Neuqua Valley has a jukebox, but it hasn’t been in use in several years. The graduating Class of 2002 gave the Jukebox to Neuqua as a senior gift in hopes of making the school a friendlier place.
The Jukebox required too much work; maintenance, repairs, and buying new CDs would cost too much time and money. The administration was not willing to resume responsibility for it, and so it stays unusable and without maintenance. As of now, the jukebox has better chance of ending up on Craigslist then being fixed up and used.
Yet, it seems a shame to let such a fun gift go unused. Student Council President of the Junior Class, Mia Akers, agrees. “With a student council as strong and as large as Neuqua’s, it would be a tangible task to take over,” Akers said, “It would be a great idea and something that would make Neuqua more fun.”
