Being an election year, four enterprising CHS students stepped up to podiums for a mock debate on October 23, 1984, in the Lloyd D. Sweet auditorium. Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Walter Mondale, and Geraldine Ferraro were represented by members of Penny Lind's American History and U.S. Government classes. Representing the views of the 1984 Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates were Juniors Vivian Prid-geon and Beth Ortner as Ronald Reagan and George Bush, respectively, and as Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro were Seniors Willie Pyette and Bonnie Ortner. These students put in many long hours of detailed research. They were assisted by other members of their classes in obtaining the necessary information so that they could present knowledgeable views at the debate. Each student gave a five minute introductory speech which he had prepared prior to the debate. Then each candidate had the opportunity to rebut his opponent's speech. The foursome then answered questions pertaining to the nuclear arms race, composed by both the audience and by the moderator, Greg Jergeson, Blaine County Democrat. Who won the debate? According to Penny Lind, All four students were winners! 20
