Election '79 As the students at Forest Lake High School enter adulthood, many got their first chance to prove to the community that they are now involved in decisions made concerning our local and state government. But why be surprised when so many new people are involved in the elections! In our own county, students helped elect Jim Trudeau, and in our state, many also helped elect Al Quie as governor and new senators, Rudy Boshewitz and Dave Durenberger. For as future decision makers, we have started out as a very strong force and have the power to influence the country. Who knows, some day the seniors of Forest Lake High School may be electing one of our class members to be a community or statewide “somebody ”. 1.
