Election Day is here.
And, as usual, political season has been in full swing in more ways than one — punches are being thrown in all directions.
It’s why they call it silly season. But, let’s take the focus off the national and local politics of today and step back in time to the 1970s and politics as it was with RFH students and teachers.
