Mock Election Ofl977 The Social Studies department offered a wide variety of classes, ranging from required courses such as American History to elective courses such as Minority Groups. Three courses were dropped from the curriculum while a new government teacher, Mr. Bondurant, arrived on the Lewis scene. A big success sponsored by the Social Studies department was the mock election held in Enrichment. Six senior classmen were chosen to represent the candidates for President and Vice-President of the U.S. The Enrichment program was enjoyed by everyone including the candidates. Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter won the election at Lewis by a narrow victory over President Gerald Ford. 3 1. Students work very diligently on social studies lab sheets. 2.
