72: propositions, politics; seniors cast first ballots Seniors voted! Seniors who were eighteen on November 7, 1972 voted for the first time in a Presidential Election. In March 1972, the California State Legislature followed the dictum of the National Government and gave the vote to eighteen year olds. Required government classes assumed new meanings for Seniors as speakers dealing with the candidates and issues of the election came to address the new voters. Abortion, farm worker's rights, gun control legislation, the legalization of marijuana, and coastal preservation were key issues in the election. Speakers for the classes included candidates Pete Stark and Lew Warden, vying for the Eighth Congressional District seat. TOP: MARY TUGGLE emerges from the voting booth for the first time.

‘72 senior play raises over six hundred dollars This years senior play, ‘Father of the Bride’’ was most successful as it coined over 600 dollars for the senior class. The 1951 play was a hilarious comedy depicting the hassles the Banks family endured in preparation for their daughter's wedding. Mr. Cotter directed the production with the cast spending many long hours of rehearsal in preparation for the performances held on November 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Special guests were the 1959 cast of “Father of the Bride”.
