Hard at Keeping Busy .1 sv., ws? .ff , 1.ge:igsi1 ' This past year was a busy one for the Fifth and Sixth grade. Only a few weeks after school began, the class had already participated in a roller skating party at the Skate Ranch, and a fund raising program for the New Mexico Museum of Natural History. During this program, class sponsors Mrs. Heggem and Mrs. Bowra led the students through a fossil fest, a musical where the class danced and other people passing by threw pennies into a guitar case, a great commemoration of street-corner performances. They were excited to participate in the museum fund-raising program which was new to Albuquerque and a fine awakening to cultural awareness. The United States had not held any fund raising program for a new historical museum since 1890 and the city was the first chosen to help in the program's reiuvenation. lf that was not exhausting enough, the class held a booth at the Bazaar, a dino dill sale and other activity- oriented issues such as field trips, special reports, and a Spring Week. The field trips all focused on History and different interests such as, weather, ornathology and geology. A Spring Week was held during Spring Vacation where the class made up: imaginary govern- ments, designed clothes, anthems, and even their own flag! For a little group, the 5th and 6th sure kept busy. 2-CLOWINING AROUND, Sixth graders Tom Ebel and Chris Gonzales indulge in some harmless fun during recess . . . 3-SUPPORTING THE ARTS, Sixth graders Lowell Williams and Robert Mathews sample the cookies at a fund raiser for the New Mexico Museum of Natural History.

Charge Ahead Unemployment Sways Voter s Decisions the major issue of the '82 election year. With the nation's iobless rate hovering at the IOOA: mark, dissatisfied with Reganomics and the Republican party in general, cast their votes in the opposite direction. Democratic party, which suffered staggering loses in the 1980 election, made strong showings at the polls. upon Republican mistakes and focusing directly on unemployment, the Democrats gained 26 house seats their margin there to lOl seat. ln addition they picked up seven governors. The Senate, however, the same, with the Republicans maintaining a slight edge. Voter turnout was also at its highest since l974 an estimated MM: of the eligible votes going to the polls. Mexico held some close races of its own, Manuel Luian, the Republican, incumbent congressman, ran his closest ever edging challenger Jan Hartke. The governor's race was also close with Democrat Toney Anaya emerging 'over Republican John lrick. The most publicized and heated race though, was the senatorial campaign Republican Harrison Schmitt and Democrat Jeff Bingaman. Schmitt, who held a sizeable lead early in the ampaign, saw it wither away, thanks to a series of ads based upon inaccurate information. These ads, along with ingaman's tenancious campaign contributed to Schmitt's loss. he current state of affairs in the 1982 elections influenced voter decisons and made them turn away from the epublican party, and look for new direction and hope for the future in the Democratic party. if Lisa Schwarz . f I l V lg V Lynn Shontze Amanda Stern f ' 'N gf Qi' M, 5- K, .
