Mayor Betsy Cavendish initiates the discussion Kevin McLinn speaks from the floor Youth-In-Government builds civic responsibility Each year through the combined efforts of the Upper Arlington Civic Association. Upper Arlington city officials, and student coordinators, a program known as Youth-In-Government is launched at the high school. This year’s student chairmen. Chip Barnes. Nancy Chrissos. Dave Hsiao, and Carson Reider, collaborated to produce a meaningful experience in municipal government for the senior class. The twenty-seven senior homerooms were divided into two parties, the Black party headed by Melinda Harmon and Molly Matthews, and the Gold party chaired by Lisa Carpenter and Chris Young. This year after a week of rigorous and fun-filled campaigning, the traditionally victorious Black party met a sound defeat with six of seven council seats being filled by Gold party candidates. Many students appointed to YIG positions enjoyed a day in the field with their counterparts before participating in YIG Day which was highlighted by a mock city council meeting. After much argument from the floor, the YIG City Council passed a series of ordinances at the November 17 meeting. Ordinances dealing with a permanent blood donating center and the Lane Road Park passed. On the other hand, the construction of a high rise building and bars in Arlington met defeat. Upon adjournment. YIG participants gathered at LaScala for a recognition banquet which brought to a close months of preparation for this successful performance in “UA on Stage.” BOTTOM ROW Chip Barnes. Nancy Chrissos.
