Debuted Question Could ;Teenagers Vote?" (by Jim MacDonald) That was the ` question posed to his world and, the opposing view a panel of six senior students at. was that students, of today are .1 an .Assembly : held in the High School ,auditorium on Thursday ' morning. > The panel was composed of three Grade XIII students: Sharon 0 - 'Donnell, Dan , Dalton and Keith Kaiser and " three Grade XII stu- dents: "Cookie" . Gibson, Donald Hodgins and Jim Anderson. Jim. MacDonald acted as. moderator. The first question put to the panel was: "Are teenagers of eigh teen responsible enough to vote or not?" Immediately '.an argument ' en- sued as to the difference between, "responsible" and.."responsibility.", It was ' generally` agreed that by the time a teenager . has reached the age of eighteen he. has as- sumed many responsibilities which adults of voting age would : think burdensome.. It is ' logical there- fore; to 'think' that . a teenager of eighteen, assuming such respon- sibilities, ` would be a • responsible voter! . However, . no definite an- “should the voting age be lowered swerwas given to this Problem. .• • • t ?" The results were: too involved in their • studies to keep ,up ' with national• and, world.. affairs.. It was . ' also pointed Out that there. are many' teenagers who. have left school . to earn . their own way: What 'about them? How well, are they : informed? During the .'_course of the dis- cussion many other interesting and worthwhile questions came to light but ' time did not permit a "lengthy discussion , of . these,; The ' panel . did 'not attempt to form conclusions to the questions asked, their -main purpose ° being to express opinions and to inform the student body viewing • the dis- cussion i -cussion of the many aspects of the. question : of ` voting : -at the age; of eighteen. • To show the. interest aroused' in the: student body, Mr. Hall was persuaded . to allow a discussion of:" the question by his Grade.XI. class during one of the classes. At 3:30. the'e student body.•was. asked. to vote one the question:, The next question was:"Would they . be influenced by their ' par- ents, •.political views or would they form their own opinions?" In reply to • this, one of the panelists humourously pointed out that • most teenagers are usually in sharp disagreement. with their parents in the majority of. cases. However, it was pointed out that parental influence is always great'. in : these formative years. "Do they . know 'enough about national 'and world .affairs?" The two main viewsstated here were: mass news presentations to : True, great-grandmother didn't • the general public and history ' have . all those labor-saving • de-. lessons taught in the schools keep vices. But then : again, she didn't the modern teenager well inform- (: have to go out and get a job ed as to what is happening in ; in. order to pay for them. • Grade 1.2 A ..... •:12 B 11 10 A' 10B• 9 A .. 9.B .
