long history of over fifteen years of Model U.N. excellence. Secretary General Chris Pellegrini and Under Secretary General Chris Kiley served as delegates on the Security Council, Derryfield’s first appointment to this illustrious position at Harvard. After over 26 hours of committee sessions over three days, and letting off steam at the delegate ball, the Security Council was awoken at 1:00 a.m. to attend to “an arising crisis in the Taiwanese Strait.” Fortunately, war was adverted and we were allowed to return to our rooms at the early hour of 5:00 a.m. The full delegation includ‑ ed Eric Spierer in Historical GA, Taylor Scott in Legal, Claire Churchill in World Health Organization, Ashley Travis and Jess Pritchard in SPECPOL, Alan Raff in Disarmament and Inter‑ national Security, and Doug Lindner in Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural. This year was a great success and we hope to further our fine reputation in the world of international diplomacy under the leadership of next year’s offi‑ cers, Secretary General Taylor Scott and Under Secretary General Eric Spierer. – Danielle de Pazzis
