Forensics When I first got the forensic club as an assignment the first thing that came to my mind was Dead thingsn. It is however far from that. A proper name would be de- bate club. It involves elequently read po- etry to a hard core arguing, not to men- tion comedy. Green Mountain has a well rounded and active debate team with high hoped for this year. With the drive to do better than last year. With the drive to do better than last year when 3 of the team went to the National finals. The team is held and criticed by Mr. Shepard. With his help and the drive of the team Green Mountain has become of formadi- ble foe to all who face them. The team like all the clubs and teams is organized mostly by the students in the elections held within the team itself. They chose a President, Vice-President, Secre- tary, and a Treasurer. They are as follow- ing: President Gerald Smgson, Vice-Presi- dent Amy Young, Secretary Ed. Knight, Treasurer Jenny Kitely. Forensics is not Dead Things in any way but is a live and Vibrant group of people having fun at what they do best . , . talking and growing. Forensics officers: Jenny Kiteley, Amy Young, Gerald Singson and Ed Night. Dmitry Chernyak and Kent Bradford practice. Kent Bradford acts out his part.

Their lst activiity was a trip to IMAX and the plan- etarium, Their 2nd trip was to the Feder- al Center for the Bridge Building Contest. This consisted of taking balsa wood struts and Elmer's glue and designing a sturdy bridge which would support about 700 pounds. Impossible? Not really. Science club member David Rodenbaugh com- mented, It's great and it's not just for science lovers, anyone can get into it. There was a boom in membership but this sharply dropped about'October, but that didn't stop them. Other planned activities include a trip to a nuclear reactor and a trip to see Zap! , the electricity show.

Who Will Run Government in the hand of the stu- dents, is it a good idea? At Green Moun- tain it proves to be a very good idea. Mrs. Gunther and Mr. Perault were the sponsers of the club this year. Chris Hol- lop, president, Andy Kerr, V. Pres., Heike Scholz as secretary and Amy Tirre as treasurer. There were twenty-two stu- dents in the club. With the Presidential election they were especially busy help- ing with the precinct reporting for chan- nel 4. When asked what the purpose of gov- ernment club was, Mrs. Gunther replied, To get the students aware of state and international issues. Also to promote community awareness of politics to the people. They have special events this year other then the precinct reporting for channel 4 in the presidential election, many events just for students throughout Jefferson county. Youth in government The Country? runs from Dec. 12 through Dec. 14 spon- sered by the Y.M.C. A. at the state capi- tal. This is where the kids get a chance to pass bills of their own in their own legisla- ture. Next they have a mock trial which is a youth in law program. In a mock trial students simulate an actual trial. Lastly they have the mock United Nations Gen- eral Assembly. Each student gets to re- present a different country and discuss the topic picked for that year. This was Government Club's 5th year at Green Mountain. Each year it seems to get more popular. The meetings were held every Thursday morning at 7 a.m. before classes started. Each member en- joyed Government Club this year. There was a mutual feeling between each mem- ber that there was something to be gained from the club. I think we can rest easy knowing that people like these may one day, be part of our government. Molly Vickrey prepares to argue a bill. Amy Tirre and Heike Scholtz playing around before the meeting begins. Chris Hollop conducts the meeting. Government Club listens to the bills being presented. 116 Government Club
