Election day draws near for Wawasee candidates

By SCOTT DAVIDSON Staff Writer

The candidates have been the policy strategy is being finalized and the candidates are preparing for their election day that is now less than a week away. No I’m not talking about the national election or even the state or local election. The election in question is Wawasee High School’s “mock election,” to be held next Tuesday, Nov. 8, which students have been preparing for since early October. The Democratic and Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates at Wawasee were chosen last Wednesday, Oct. 26, during the party’s separate conventions. The candidates for the Democratic party are seniors Kris Hickey (president) and Brian Tallon (vice president), while the Republican running mates are seniors Brad Gerstner (president) and Brian Neff (vice president). The candidates from the two parties are now working to finalize a support team for each side, according to Wawasee Economics Teacher Ron Corson, one of the teachers overseeing the project. He added that the individual support teams consist of eight students from each party; the president and vice president candidates, the national party chairperson, the national party platform chairperson and four others from the party that are selected by the presidential candidate on each side. Corson said that the majority of the parties preparation now is for a press conference for the candidates that will be held throughout the entire day at

Wawasee this Friday, Nov. 4. He added that the candidates along with their support teams will be involved with a press conference during each of the seven class periods during the school day Friday. “The candidates will be exposed to approximately the entire student body (about 950 students) and they will be allowed to make an opening statement, ask each other one question and then take questions from the members of the class. The vast amount of the work for the mock election is being conducted outside of the classrooms, according to Corson. “I think that the students involved in the process this year are really interested in the platforms of the two sides and not just in completing this project because it is part of a class,” remarked Corson. Although the seniors at Wawasee comprise the two political parties and constitute the election board for next Tuesday’s election, Corson commented that the other three student classes are also involved with the process to some extent. He added that the junior class is learning about the political process in their history classes while two of the sophomore teachers at Wawasee are also very involved with the mock election. Corson said that since this is the first year that Wawasee’s freshmen class has been involved with the election it is hard to guage what their feelings are concerning the election happenings. After the press conference on Friday, the student led campaign will have only one more day (Monday) to try and convince the student body that their platform should receive their vote on Tuesday. Corson commented that the election on Tuesday will be con-

heading into next week’s election at Wawasee, Corson concluded, “It’s hard to tell who the students will vote for at this time but I think that the press conference this Friday will determine who the students want to support after they are able to hear the candidates speak and are allowed to ask them questions about their opposing platforms. ’ ’

Some of the students got their first experience of riding the big yellow school bus. During the ride to the farm, the children were encouraged to look for signs of fall along the roadside and in the fields ahead. The pumpkin farm was filled with “fall fashions.” Some of the children’s favorite scenes at the farm were Snoopy, penguins and the Flintstones. Upon returning from the trip, each class was given a small pumpkin from Charlie Pumpkin. The classes looked at the different shapes and colors and felt the different textures on the gourds. They also discussed the changes brought on by the fall and enjoyed all the wonderful uses of pumpkins.
