The White Falcon - 26.01.1973, Blaðsíða 8

H.S. student voted for White House
After a long Christinas vaca-
tion followed by a two week se-
mester final studying period, the
"Mahan Messenger" is once again
keeping you informed about what
is happening at the high school.
This week's article will not
pertain entirely to Mahan's in-
ner-school activities, but in-
stead to a beneficial and educa-
tional activity sponsored by the
student council. The activity is
the Presidential Scholarship Pro-
gram.
The program enables one or
more students from various high
schools to attend the White House
for seven days. It's designed
solely for educational purposes.
The participating student is ex-
pected to use his seven days to
educate himself about the United
States' governmental procedures
and functions.
By Karen Noble
Bill Norris, a junior, is Ma-
han's representative in the pro-
gram. He was selected by the
Student Council. Bill will visit
the White House March 17-24.
During that time, he will be
meeting senators, attending clas-
ses and listening to governmental
debates and speeches. He possib-
ly could meet President Nixon.
The schedule is quite full, leav-
ing Bill only one free afternoon.
When he returns to Keflavik,
he'll be equally busy delivering
speeches at school and to various
organizations on base concerning
what he learned during his stay
in Washington.
The month of March will be
full of activity for Bill, and
the students and faculty of the
high school wish him the best of
luck during his stay i n the
presidential home.
