VOTE VOTE Sign my petition ... no sign mine! I am representing the Gold party and we. . . The Blue party, if elected, will. . . Petitions and campaign promises, what does that signify? That’s right, the annual B.H.S. Junior Officials program. This is the program in which B.H.S. seniors run for town and school positions and, when elected, assume office for one day. The entire program runs from the beginning of January until the end of February. The towns of Bloomingdale and Butler alternate yearly in sponsoring the program. The seniors, by taking part in this program, have a chance to receive first-hand experience in local govermental procedures. The students are active in petitioning to get on the ballot, attending seminars, writing platforms, campaigning, presenting an assembly and assuming office for one day after the winners are named. Underclassmen also benefit from the Junior Officials program by being given the chance to listen to speeches and make intelligent decisions who to vote for. Experience in using an actual voting machine is another one of the benefits of the program. This year’s program was fortunate enough to have N.J. Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick as its guest speaker. She gave a wonderful speech and was an inspiration to everyone. Perhaps in the years to come, some of today’s Junior Officials will be on the Presidential ballot.
