i The close up experience CLOSE UP. Was it an educational exper- ience? CLOSE UP sponsored state and local programs about government in many communities through out the coun- try. For a full week during the school year, students and teachers put aside their textbooks and traveled to Washing- ton, D.C. for intensive, firsthand study of their government. CLOSE UP’s three members and sponsor from McCluer North went to Washington, D.C. Feb. 13-19. Those who went are Jane Klein and Falishia Harrold, sophomores, Cheryl Reese, senior, and Mr. Rick Gwy- dir, Sponsor. To afford this very expensive trip, CLOSE UP started early in the school year and sold M M’s to raise the money they needéd. The rest of the money came from the members’ own pockets.

Once in Washington, according to Jane, they sat and talked about current events and spent a few days sightseeing. A dance was held the last night to give the kids their kind of fun and relief after sitting through six days of boring lec- tures and seminars. The trip caused some people anxiety. They missed not just a week, but more than that. “I was so excited | gave up Christmas and Birthday presents so | could go. I couldn’t wait,” said Falishia. The CLOSE UP members came back from Washington, D.C. with a better under- standing about our government and first- hand knowledge about what the govern- ment officals do at the White House.
