POLITICIANS Any stranger who walked into the Little Theatre on April 10th and 11th would have thought that the bigwigs in Washington had chosen Lake Braddock for the site of their Democratic Con- vention. After further investigating the matter, they found that the can- didates, the delegates, everyone in- volved were... teenagers. What was go- ing on? Every Presidential election year, all the government and history students of Subschools five and six par- ticipated in a mock convention. What better way to learn the processes of a political convention than to be in one? The students were involved in everything from planning and forming committees to acting as delegates and candidates. The only role that was not enacted by a student was that of the keynote speaker. For that role, a public figure from the Washington-Virginia area was invited to participate. When asked about the effectiveness of having the convention, head co ordinator Judy Colocotronis replied 'The mock con- vention is a really good hands-on ex- perience. The students get a lot more out of actually doing than they would by reading a stack of books. After donating a pint of blood for the blood drive.
