Burnham, J, Rink, B. Rainville It is great that Mt. Abraham students have the opportunity to investigate the workings of the Federal Government, through par- ticipation in the Washington D.C. Close-Up government studies program. This is the sixth year that Mt. Abraham has been invited to take part in the program. Students will be traveling to the capitol in May. Every year, Mt. Abe students come back with many fine things to say about this unique opportunity. What is Close-Up (It is not a toothpaste)? Close-Up is a chance to learn about govern- ment the way it really is. It’s a chance to meet people from other parts of the country, and it’s an opportunity to learn about yourself and your views on the American System. While in Washington, Mt. Abe students will be able to meet with their Congressmen and Senators; be part of a nationally televised Close-Up program; attend seminars and enjoy a wide variety of social activities. The Close-Up program is open to all students in 10TH, 11TH, and 12TH grade. Fellowships are available on a limited bases. Students who can’t afford the full cost are able to earn money to go by participating in fund-raising projects. The Close-Up club wishes to thank all those parents, students and faculty who have given generously to support their trip. Thank you. Doug Paterson — Advisor 59
