ELECTIONS 'l thought the whole experi- ence was a blast. My feet were killing me, but I learned a lot, stated Martha Henderson, sen- ior, following the Close-up Seminar in Washington, D.C. in December. Funding for the trip was provided by businesses and individuals in the Topeka area, and was sponsored by Mrs. Lee Kinney, social stu- dies instructor. Close-up participation was only one of the special activities sponsored by the social studies department in an effort to make governmental learning more realistic and fun. Other govern- mental-related topics included candidates presenting their views election debates. Mr. Mike Nasterfs students held their own elections, gave individual electoral votes to Presidential candidates, and at- tended trials at the courthouse.
