This seemed to be a question asked by many before October 28, the date of the political faire held every other year. The senior civics and economics classes careful- ly planned and organized the faire. Such organizations as Right to Life, League of Women Voters, Planned Parenthood, and the Sheriffs Department displayed their services and expressed their opinions. Re- presentatives from the Young Democrats, Teenage Republicans as well as liberal and Independent candidates came to gain favor for their causes. I thought the faire was pretty interesting, remarked Kim Ches- terfield. Political propaganda was available for the public to view in the quad area. The debates attracted the most varied crowd at PHS during the faire. Shah Cheema stated, The debates were very in- formative and successfully portrayed the views of candidates. The overall turnout for the sixth political faire was good. The community as well the students involved put in their best ef- fort. Jamcs Fitzpatrick commented, l thought it was a great success.

A few choice Saturday nights at University Towne Cen- ter lce Chalet, the Class of '87 met to play broom hockey. Roger Love commented, It was fun! I wish we could have used the entire rink and had two big teams. The best part of the night was when I scored the winning goal in the final gamef' However, winning wasn't everything, survival was the name of the game. There were few injuries, from bruised bones to bloody noses. Tami Marko recalled, My mom told me to wear a face mask. Though I hurt my nose, at least I didn't break it. It was all worth it ! I had a blast! Then, there were those that enjoyed the physical part of the event and got into playing hock- ey, and not just standing around doing nothing.
