Dlfon any students in Blue Springs are interested in politics and what the effects will be on their lives. So when Mr. and Mrs. Galen Ericson, campaign coordinators for Blue Springs. heard Senator John Danforth would be in the area, calls were made to schedule an appearance. The most logical place with the greatest impact was the htgh school. Senator Danforth came to Blue Springs for a press conference on January 13 in the Media Center. The Junior Statesmen. debaters and any other student interested in politics, could sign up to attend. Dr. Ted Lewman, prtncipal. felt that it would be more appropriate to have a select group rather than an open house. We felt it was important to have politically interested students. said Lewman. Senator Danforth came prepared to answer almost any question that could be asked about his experiences, ranging from being the Missouri at- torney general for eight years to acting as a U.S. Senator for twelve years, He fielded questions on SDI. the Persian Gulf, trade policies, Supreme Court nominations, Judge Clark, the ClA and the homeless, After the conference many com- pliments were mentioned by Danforth concerning the students' manners and questions. l was greatly impressed with the students. said Danforth. lt was by far one of the best experiences l've ever had with a high school audience. .00 a picture with Dr. Ted Lewman and school board ofllclals Watson by Lisa Belcher tudents scurry to the center of the gym to hold their candles in a Christmas tree design, The lights are dimmed. a voice rs heard singing i'Srlent Night to a guitar Students begin to loin in and sway to the music. and the Christmas spirit is felt by everyone rn the gym This tradition was started seven ugraduatesvfrom BSHS years ago when Dr Blaine asked Gene Watson if he would like for the student body at Christmas time Before moving to Blue Springs. Gene. his wife. and two kids were on a religious radio pro- gram which Dr Blaine had listened to one time and this led him to ask if Gene would like to sing for the students and faculty Gene Watson moved from Clarksville. Arkansas, to Blue Springs in 1976 He has worked at the high school for ten years and commented that he has a great time with the kids l love young people and love to talk to them Muddy-buddy. which means A-1, is a name Gene gives to all of his friends. He got this name from a club his son used to be involved in during high school Gene has made a lot of friends while working at the high school and said that graduation is always a sad time of year because he will never see most of those kids again He does, however, keep in touch with many kids whom he's met over the years, and commented that he still receives letters from kids who graduated as lar back as 1980 from Carrie Hubbard and Lori McDaniel. Even though Gene enjoys working at the high school and being around the kids. he plans to retire after the IUXT-88 school year Gene ts still un- sure about what he will do after he leaves his job at the high school He may return and do sub work or go back to Arkansas When asked if there was one thing that he would never forget. he replied tts all been wonderful Gene will be missed not only by teachers and admtmstration but also by many students
