And winter winds that start to blow. We wait for warmness of Nebraska spring, and to wake-up hearing, the robins sing. Lori Wegner 11

County Government: Day Stirs Political' Interest County Government Day is a state-wide activity sponsored by the American Legion to encourage student awareness of and involvement in the process of county government. Each year, schools within Cuming County hold fall elections to select the participants who attend the County Government Day program. WPHS conducts one of the more ambitious procedures to select its participants. The Social Studies Department has two first quarter County City Government classes which study political parties, nomination and election procedures, voting behavior, and citizen responsibilities. Toward the end of the course, each class becomes a political party and organizes primary and general campaigns and elections. Following State Law, exactly, the students become aware of registration and election procedures by duplicating legal requirements in registering voters, running elections, and county ballots. This year on December 16, 1981, nineteen WPHS students who survived the election appointment process attended the County Government Day activities at the county courthouse. Civics Teacher Mr. Carmody. Visit to county courthouse by Mr. Black’s county government class. 13 Social Studies Teacher Mr. Lang,
