ELECTIONS
The 1988 elections saw a break with tradition at CCI. For years we had experienced a rabble-rousing assembly, watching the various candidates appear, carried on the shoulders of their supporters, arriv- ing in a sleigh or simply walking in wearing a toga.

Mr. Moore and Mr. Liotta came to calm the group and to encourage everyone to return to class. On the following Monday, they were given their chance to voice their opinions at a noon-hour gathering. A small number showed up to continue the debate . . .
