Campaigning Gives Juniors Experience In Goverment

"It Is the best possible way of informing high school students about their county government. The campaign gives the student true-to-life experience of" what lt would be like to run tor an office in the county government," commented Shari Freed senior, when what she thought about county government which begins Dec. 1.

Kathy Llerley, senior, said: "It Is very good because It acquaints you with county government."

Mr. Wayne Glidden says, "Of all the areas of knowledge about the area least understood is the county. This Is unfortunate, because county government affects us more directly tban any other unit ot government. It Is our purpose in this study to become better acquainted with t h is locale of government."

Donnie Jones, a junior who Is looking forward to county government this year, said, "It's going to be a lot of fun and an easy way to learn about county government.''

This yeal' county government will run somewhat different. From Dec. 1 to Dec. 7 American History students will attend lectures condncted by Mrs. Clara Dunn, Mr. Glidden, Mr. Bert Speece and Mr Dick Winchell, aU American History teacpers. During the week ot Dec. 11 the students wil l be tested over the lectures. start their cam· paign, and have the election.
