I-IERE'S TC US U-46 COMMUNITY November 4 meant not only the national election, but also the referendum for U-46. Many meetings were held both for and against the referendum, including a debate in which Mr. Charles Burnidge spoke for passage of the ref- erendum and Mr. Eugene Devitt spoke against. Four Lar- kin juniors were very active in the fight for the referendum. They spoke with classes, attended meetings, and attended the debate. Thanks is given to all Larkin students and faculty who helped U-46 pass the referendum and insure quality education to U-46 students for years to come.
