Contrary to the national election Mr. Wallace ran second with 32% and Mr. Humphrey a close third with 27% of the vote. Campaigning for these major candidates were, re- spectively, Marsha Poyser and Wayne Hazelrigg, John Lea- mon and Tom Ownby, and Don Steers and Harry McCoy. While voting in this mock election, Tom Ownby and Ellen Haddock experienced a priv- ilege and responsibility of adult citizens. Young Politicians Voice Choice For the campaigners typical problems arose, writing speeches, winning votes, and trying to stay calm and col- lected. Each of the three major presidential and vice-presidential candidates were represented, as wer Illinois' candidates for governor, lieu, governor, senator, and 20th District representative.

 And now, for 12 points, who is the only present U.S. Senator that drives a Volkswagon ? More than memorizing memorable moments in the history world, B.H.S. history and civics classes match mind against mind each week in Miss Danglade's current events quiz. Discovering all the knowledge it takes to become a good citizen covers a lot of area. In the Problems of Democracy class' study of world and national problems, students analyze personal, social, econom- ical, political, and international problems. While history seems to repeat itself, U.S. History helps students benefit from the hardships and victories of others. For students who want the benefits of world- wide happenings World History is offered. Miss Martha Danglade, carefully correcting World History exams, finds how much of the global past her 20th century students have absorbed. Aw, lets watch cartoons. Despite their preference, B.H.S. Problems class is kept constantly tuned to current affairs. 20

Clarifying Richard Albers' misconceptions about proportions, Mrs. Louderback explains the relationship between the means and the extremes. Mrs. Louderback pauses momentarily to explain the duo- personality of her huge paper-weight. This rock, a gift from her geometry students, symbolizes Mrs. Louderback's heart-of-stone and their heads . Alpha, Theta, Beta, and other Greek letters be- came important symbols to the trig students as they represented mysterious unknown quantities and angles. Geometry students operate on plane figures and discover how logical thinking will reveal the step- by-step solution to even a seemingly insoluble problem. Second year algebra class mastered the quadratic formula and the binomial theorem to supplement their procedures for revealing x . Algebra I students discovered linear equations thus launching them on their endless search for the quantity x . 2X2? Well, according to mine it's approximately 4. Senior trig students Joe Tunget and John Leamon find that working a problem mechanically by means of the slide rule brings rapid and, with practice, accurate cal- culations. 22
