REAGAN WINS PRESIDENCY WHS elects Carter Once every four years the United States of America elects a new president. On November 4, 1980, voters across America cast their ballots for the candidate of their choice. Running for the Democratic party was Jimmy Carter, president of the U.S. Ronald Reagan, former governor of California, took the Republican seat. John Anderson ran as an Independant. It was a tough battle. The polls clearly showed that either President limmy Carter or Ronald Reagan would be in office for the 1980-1981 presidency. As the votes rolled in November 4, newscasters declared Ronald Reagan to be in the lead. Later in the night, the new president of the United States was announced. Reagan had won by a mere 10% of the popular vote. Westlake High School students also had a chance to cast their ballots on November 4. Social Studies teachers, John Duhon and Ray Miles, sponsored a mock presidential election, and students voted during lunch period. 41% of the student body at Westlake High School voted. But Westlake High proved to be no trend setter. Re-elected by the student body was President Jimmy Carter. 28 Student Life
