Election unit stirs political, civic interest lVlore young people should be- come involved in their government. This was the message that lVlr. Elwood Hillis, Republican Congress- man from the fifth district, tried to relay to the social studies students gathered in the auditorium two weeks before the election. He and his opponent, Democrat lVlrs. Katie Williams, elaborated further on their stands regarding the war in Viet Nam, abortion, amnesty, and mari- juana. Anderson High School invited these two candidates and several local candidates to speak in partial fulfillment of the pre-election unit required by the Indiana Election Law. Class discussions and films helped raise student interest while meeting this law. lVlr. Jack Nicholson traveled with 35 students to Washington, D. C. during spring vacation. They visited Nlount Vernon, the Kennedy Center, the foreign embassies, and the White House. Far right: Mike Pope finds that the physical features of China can be learned through labeling maps.
