Constitution Contested ' By Derek Koehl Resolved: the United States, in 1787, is in need of a strong, centralized government, su- preme over the governments of the States, to unify those States into a strong nation. The question whether the Constitution of the United States as presented by the Consti- tutional Convention of 1787 is an adequate system of government was the topic for which the Middle Township debate team had to supply an answer when they argued the affirmative position with regard to the aforementioned resolve in a debate with Lower Township on December 3, 1987. Emerging from the contest triumphant after having demonstrated the Constitution both sufficient and necessary, the debate team composed of James Moore and Derek Koehl secured for Middle Township a position in the debate finals held in January. When asked his opinion of the debate, James Moore replied, The subject matter was quite interesting. I learned much more about the Federalists than I ordinarily would have. It was definitely a learning experience. The debate team with Robert Murray fill- ing in for James Moore faced Wildwood Catholic High School in the final debate. Mr. Ed Zebedies, who, as advisor, has played a valuable part in the team's success, was con- fident of the team's chances in the final com- petition as Middle Township argued the op- posing stance of States Rights.

Students Take Over On December 3, 1987, seventeen Middle Township seniors participat- ed in the annual Youth Appreciation Day. Sponsored by the Optimist Club, Youth Appreciation Day pro- vides high school students an oppor- tunity to become better acquainted with their local government and their school administration. Each student represented a differ- ent official for the entire day. Acting as Mayor was Reynold Wang, Com- mitteeman, Amelia Spaulding, Com- mitteeman, Margaret Hsieh, Town- ship Clerk, Allison Harveyg Treasur- er, Bill Watson, County Clerk, Chris- tine Heck, Tax Collector, Delia Adri- ang Construction Official, Harry Wo- zunkg Police Chief, Chris Chase, Ad- ministrative Assistant, Laurie Weimerg Recreation Department, Scott Suppleeg Superintendent of Schools, Angela Dell'Oreficeg Assis- tant Superintendent, Abby Fagan, High School Principal, Ron Hudan- ichg Assistant Principals, Michele Jost and Christin Dodd. The students accompanied their counterparts throughout their daily routines to familiarize themselves with the responsibilities of the var- ious positions. All the participants were treated to lunch at the Avalon Country Club. That evening, the acting Mayor, Committeemen, and Township Clerk presided over the weekly Township Meeting. This proved to be an historic event, for it also happened to be the first time the newly constructed court room had been used. Youth Appreciation Day emerged a political and educational success. The students agreed that they had fun engaging in this learning exper- ience. This was indeed a memorable, firsthand exposure to the world of government, one that the students can certainly boast of later in life.
