This group is re- ferred to as Close-Up. The students learned quite a lot about U.S. and international af- fairs. While in Washington, the students visited the Supreme Court, sat in on the Iran-Con- tra hearings, and watched Congress in ac- tion. Aside from learning about their govern- ment, they enjoyed shopping in George- town, visiting monuments, and seeing a play at the historical Ford's Theater. On the last night of their stay, students from Central had a chance to party and attend a banquet with students from different parts of the country. During the year, Close-Up does many things to sponsor their trip. Among these are the printing of the Buzz Book and candy sales. Kraus said, The only qualification to go on the Close-Up trip is that you must be a student who is interested in the govern- ment. gcsfbfge gm .Muff 'YZ 432' M., Tracy Reichman, Kim from Seattle, Bill L'ecuyer, Donna Easter, Sarah Cooper huddle outside a restaurant before going to Ford's Theater.

NFL sponsor, Donna Ross, says of NFL, Free debate is the essence of democ. racy because it is the best way known to expose all sides of important issues. Central's forensic team was very success- ful in 1986-87. They earned six trophies along with other honors. The team also placed third in the St. Louis Metropolitan Bar Association Mock Trial Competition. Central went on to qualify five people to represent the East Missouri NFL district in Cincinatti. With these awards, it is easy to see how the Parkway Central NFL team has been nationally recognized and is one of the best in the state.
