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.
