Don Ritter and Sheri Miltenberger pose for a picture. EHS involved itself in the excitement of politics by enter- taining visits from the area’s two candidates for this 100th Congress and by sending four students and a teacher to Washington, D C. to participate in various programs. Students this year were able to see first hand the cam- paigns of the two candidates for Pennsylvania’s 15th district, Don Ritter, the incumbent who won the election, and his op- ponent Joe Simmonetta. Both candidates came to Emmaus and spoke to the senior class. Several Emmaus individuals also became involved in politics at a different level. Dan Dex and Sheri Miltenberger both attended Presidential Classroom, a program in Washington D.C. in which students from all over the country and world learn about American politics and government. Dan and Sheri agreed that although the seminars were sometimes boring, meeting people from all over made the program worthwhile and a lot of fun. After only a week you become so close to the people in your section that it’s really hard to say good-bye, commented Dan. Two other Emmaus students, Kim Martin and Matt Glassman along with Mrs. Moyer, spent a week at the Washington Journalism Conference in Washington D.C. — a program that emphasizes the media’s relationship with the press. Speakers included Dr. Carl Sagan, Sara McClendon, and the press secretaries for presidential hopefuls George Bush, Richard Gephardt, and Jack Kemp. Mrs. Moyer attend- ed the conference as an instructor and was able to go somewhat behind the scenes to see the actual life on Capitol Hill. It proved to be an exciting and educational experience be- ing around the hub of much of our daily news.

THE MODEL UN Zimbabwe casts an emphatic yea vote — closing the debate on South African apartheid in the Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian Committee. A large group of students from the European Studies Honors and both AP History Classes attended the Model U.N. at Mora- vian College. For two days students became delegates from Bulgaria, Romania, Byleorussia SSR., China, Congo, Nicaragua, USA, and Japan. Discussion in the various committees ranged from Human Rights to Star Wars to drug trafficking as juniors and seniors from schools around the Lehigh Valley aimed to solve the problems of the world. Closing the conference was a special awards ceremony in which Brian Dieterich and Joe Car- dinale walked away with the honors of Best Delegates of their committees.
