Getting Down to Debatable Facts No doubt the l984 ReaganfMon- dale Presidential race was a memora- ble one for many reasons. The taste of campaigning even descended on Sacred Heart as a whirlwind of events increased student awareness of voters' responsibilities. Mrs. Reed's junior American histo- ry class conducted their own mock campaigns. Committees were con- vened to cover all aspects of the election. To make students more aware of the various campaign is- sues, classes enacted their own Presidential debates. The high num- ber of registered voters in the school reflected the interest students had in both Reagan and MondaIe's cam- paigns. Enthusiasm reached its cli- max on November 4 as students overwhelmingly voted for Reagan as their Presidential choice. In Spring, several juniors also took part in a week-long Washington seminar on Capitol Hill. They sat in on sessions of Congress to learn first-hand about the legislative branch of 'our government.
