NOVEMBER A Time for all Kinds of Change November 1980 not only brought changes in the weather from sort of warm to really cold - but with the Presi- dential elections came a change over in Government. Springfield took an active part in the elections. Although most of the students were too young to vote, a mock election throughout the school elected another term for President Carter. Springfield students lost out in the real election when President Reagan came out victorious. Local candidates came to visit in the resource rooms giv- ing students and teachers a better in- sight to local and state government. Another change came when the fall sports season ended and the winter sports began training full force. The girls and boys basketball teams sponsored a Donkey Basketball game to help pay for new shooting shirts; It was a hilarious success. Top Right: Senator Weaver makes his point. Center: A great big MILLERS sign encourages support for the rival Springfield-Thurston game. Be- low: A happy President Reagan who “loves Oregon’ and opponents Carter and Anderson. Bottom Right: Mike Walser loses to the Donkeys.

DECEMBER Christmas Cheer and Holiday Spirit. December brought with it one glori- ous day of snow and two wonderful weeks of vacation. The first weeks were busily spent with the music department spreading around Christmas cheer. The marching band covered the streets of Springfield in the annual Springfield Christmas parade.
