Lisa Mal- loque gives a campaign speech for Bob by Gomez, candidate for Greenlee County Sheriff. Local social studies students joined with over a million other elementary and high school students throughout the country in a national mock elec- tion. In addition to the candidates for president and vice president which appeared on the ballot, Arizona stu- dents voted for state and local offi- cials. With the exception of the race for U.S. representative, Morenci students voted in accordance with the out- come in the national election. Al- though Mondale and Ferraro actually carried Greenlee County in the gener- al election, MHS students went along with the national majority by giving Reagan and Bush the edge. In local races, students gave super- viser Jackie Cooper an overwhelming margin of victory, while giving Katie Clonts a slight edge over Alice Cas- taneda for the office of county re- corder. In Arizona, Republican challenger Jim Kolbe beat incumbant Jim McNulty by a narrow margin for a seat in the U.S. House of Representa- tives. Showing the strong Democratic influence in Greenlee county, Mor- enci students favored McNulty in that race.

With only $469 in their account at the beginning of the school year, they estimated an additional $1500 was needed if they were to have enough money to spon- sor the kind of prom they wanted. One of their most successful fund- raisers was the Haunted House at the Halloween Carnival. “There was a steady flow of people going through the maze all night,” remarked class president Grace Franco. “Between the Haunted House and the proceeds from the breakdancing exhibition, we took in over $400. Added to that was the $90 donated to us from the booth sponsored by the superintendent’s of- fice, so it was a profitable night.” Class sponsor Linda Willard was impressed with the hard work of the juniors. “I haven’t seen many classes where so many people are willing to work,” she remarked. Putting on the Windex shine, Grace Franco cleans a windshield at the junior class car wash. Representing their class during Home- coming festivities are Becky Peru and Daniel Lopez. Juniors-23
