Morrow County Heppner, Oregon
Students in fifth and sixth
grades at Heppner Elementary
School have been acting like
adults across America. They
have been learning about can
didates, measures, parties and
how to make informed deci
sions about the future of our
country.
The three teachers, Dave
Gunderson, Bill Ewing and
Jannie Alen, divided the young
people into three study groups.
Gunderson went over the
Oregon measures, Ewing, the
candidates, and Allen, the fun
damentals of the two main
political parties.
Instructional assistants Angie
Hanson and Rita Britt created
three voting booths for the
junior electors to use when
they cast their ballots. Among
this group, Dole was elected
president, Gordon Smith to the
U.S. Senate, Bob Smith to the
U.S. House of Representatives;
Kevin Campbell as Oregon Re
presentative; Jerry Peck as Mor
row County Commissioner,
and Gayle Gutierrez as Mor
row County Treasurer.
The measure best known to
the young people was Measure
38, the Clean Stream Initiative.
This ballot measure was defeat
ed by a margin of 45 votes.
"The votes of the fifth and
sixth grade students may not
have always been true to the

America, but they made well-

Constitution to vote," said
Allen.
