W 'liar' Queen Rachel Vizcarra was elected not only for her striking beauty but also for her many contributions to school activities. A songleader for the past two years, an honor student, and a rally club member, Rachel has kept busy pro- moting spirit throughout the school.

oters Exercise Right November 7, 1972 will be remembered as the first time eighteen year olds were allowed to east ballots in a national election. Many TO stu- dents were eligible to vote and they took full advantage of the privilege. Each vote for or against a measure or candidate was carefully considered as those eligible took their new responsibility seriously. Students not yet old enough to go to the polls did not let their age deter them from becoming interested and active in the election. For the first time a political rally was held on school grounds with representatives from each of the major parties speaking. Campaign buttons were seen frequently around campus and political discussions often erupted in elass. On election day itself students watched the poll results with interest. Each initiative that passed or failed was the subject of much scruti- nizing and argument. The responsibility of east- ing ballots was a heavy burden, yet students accepted it gladly as a step towards adulthood.
