      On Wednesday, Jan. 25, 12 Mount Michael juniors and seniors left for San Francisco, California to participate in the Harvard Model Congress. The HMC, which is also held at Boston, Massachusetts in March , is a program designed to allow high school students to work as congressmen and go through the process of turning bills into laws.
      The students who attend the HMC were juniors Kelson Hedderich, Tom Kenny, Stefan Sawtelle, Jack Pritchard, Jack Horgan and seniors Tim Prost, Scott Durrie, Yifan Li, Matt Goldsmith, Chris Daley, Sam Weitkemper, and Kyle Buschelman. All of the students believed the HMC was a learning experience.
      “The congress was a very fun way to learn how our government works. We were actually able to participate in a live congress, which was pretty cool,” said Sawtelle.
      Teacher Terrance Buschelman was the proctor for the event. He was a faculty advisor at the HMC and gave help to the committees whenever he could. Article by: Jack Horgan
