TOURING WEST STUDENTS TOOK A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF OUR FEDERAL D GOVERNMENT, AND SPREAD MUSICAL GOOD WILL Heading East, Rose Sanoski, Janice Trumbull, Cook, and Ken Elbert got a close-up view of Liz Tonkins, Marcie Hassebroek, Paul Brown, Washington, D.C. and our Federal Margery Goldgehn, chaperone Mrs. Ray, Art government. 1 y fa! f' J Between the dates of April 21 and 28, 1979, eight West students made the long trip from Fairbanks, Alaska to Washington, D.C. in connection with the nationwide Close-Up program. The Close-Up program involves high school students and teachers from all over the United States and presents them with the opportunity to become acquainted with the mechanics of our Federal government. The program caters to the cause of promoting greater student understanding and participation in government. Students are encouraged to take an interest in current political issues and to gain a more complete understanding of governmental concepts. Because of this program, eight West students under the guidance of Mrs. Doris Ray Cthe group's chaperonej, are now better informed and hopefully more interested in the workings of our Federal government. Perhaps for these fortunate West students, government is no longer distantly removed, but is rather close and familiar.
