As Gov't — Econ Analysts Seniors Pick Presidential Loser But Stock Winners The National Election was the big focus for government classes. Students participated in simulated debates between Reagan, Carter, and Anderson. They fought for their point of view for or against such propositions as ‘‘8”’ (the peripheral canal) and ‘‘10’’ (smoking and non-smok- ing sections in public places.) Students also participated in a ‘‘Straw Vote’ taken in all the government classes. They chose Carter over Reagan for President but were right on the money when they for- oo the results on such issues as Props. ‘'8’’ and Many guest speakers came to share their views with the seniors. Mayor Corica, Superintendant of schools, Mr. Kline, and director of Parks and Recreation, Grant Main- land, sounded off on civic, educational, and recreational issues within the city. On the economic side of government, the seniors turned ‘‘bullish’’ especially after hearing the investment boys from Merril Lynch, Pierce, Fenner, and Smith, who promoted energy stocks. BELOW: MR.
