Confetti, Balloons, Signs, Convention. Confetti, balloons, signs, slogans and speeches were all part of the two day stu- dent conventions held October 2 0-21 in the gymnasium. This year, as done four years ago, the student body held mock con- ventions depicting the Democratic and Re- publican Conventions. Set up and run by Mr. Delp with the aid of his conventions class, these conventions were made as realistic as possible with campaign speeches, minority reports and national issues. Running on the Democratic ticket were Mike Byers, Dina Izzo, Dan Kristoff, Tom Shumaker, Rob Faranacci, and Sue Hagan. Seeking nomination from the Republican party were Russ Fowler, Don Andrews, Tom Locke, Bob Nichols, and Sharon Sweeney. The Democratic convention, held Oct- ober 20, was run by Tony Incorvati assis- ted by his secretary, Steve Rozick. The Republican convention, held the next day, was lead by John Sutherland and his sec- retary, Mark Fay. Both the conventions formed their plat- forms on very controversial issues such as abortion, E.R.A., gun control, capital punishment, and the legalization of mari- juana. These issues were argued hard and long between the delegates by means of minority reports and speeches. The Democratic platform finally decided upon was against abortion, E.R.A., and the legalization of marijuana. Following strongly opinionated minority reports, the Republicans decided in favor of abortion, E. R.A., and gun control. After the electoral speeches for candi- dates, the Democrats chose a Mike Byers- Dino Izzo ticket. The Republicans over- whelmingly chose Russ Fowler and John Sutherland as their choice. As in the na- tional election, the Democrats won with Mike as president and Dina as vice- president. 26
