Active Campaign Leads to Another Federalist Victory FEDERALIST: FRONT ROW— Mark Miller, Denise Page, Betty Rennard, Mary Ring, Steve Cala, Paul Toms, Concetta Raimondi, Debbie Maudlin. SECOND ROW— Carolyn Eshelman, Byron Spice, Jim Downing, Dan Taylor, Diane Williams, Barbara Bone. THIRD ROW— Bill Brown. Not pictured— Laura Reasoner. Mark Miller, Federalist candidate, was elected governor of the State of Howe in the annual mock elec- tion. The hard work and imagina- tive campaigning of both Mark Miller and Rex Barrett, Nationalist candidate for governor, made this year ' s election an exciting and very close one. The mock election was set up in 1940 by the Howe social studies department to give students a chance to learn the ways our gov- ernment operates. Each social studies class is a separate city; the classes of one teacher comprise a county; and all classes are consid- ered as the State of Howe. All students enrolled in a social studies course are eligible to vote. Miss Mary McLane and Mr. Ron Finkbiner are the respective spon- sors for the Federalist and National- ist parties. v - t State Chairman Bill Brown announces the nominations for governor. )anet Dunn is puzzled with the many and ingenious campaign signs. .. .
