His hopes to remain in the White House were crushed. He called Ronald Reagan and made his con- cession speech before Reagan had eaten his dinner, according to the November issue of Newsweek. Mr. Pat Pruitt's classes chose candidates from both second and third period that they felt would do the best job. The second period class elected Keith Hughes as presidential candidate and vice- president Darren Hooker, on the conservative ticket. And the third period class chose liberals john McPherson as president and Darryl Anderson as vice-president. Keith felt voters should primarily be con- cerned with inflation. He felt a few ways to solve this problem was to balance the budget and cut back on federal spendings. Keith also felt that increasing the military budget would make the military stronger, and making better use of our nuclear energy for the next 50 years would bring an alternate source of energy. john supported all the methods of switching to an alternate source of energy. is Exercising the 18-year-old right to vote, Cory Hawkins votes at North Oaksjunior High.
