52 HOSTAGES RETURN FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! The U.S. Embossy in Tehran was taken over by Iranian militants on November 4. 1979. A number of Americans were released soon after the takeover, but for 52 of the hostages, the ordeal lasted 444 days. During this time, the Carter administration held numberous negotiations to release the hostages, all of which were unsuccessful. An attempt to rescue the hostages in April of 1960. ended in disaster. Finally, through the combined efforts of Deputy Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Algerian officials, the terms for the release of the hostages were settled, and on January 20. 1961. the hostages were officially released. Many Americans were upset over the way the situation was handled, yet all were glad the long nightmare was over. ’ Some people ore saying that this is the end of an era. but whot we said before still stands-the eighties will be a beautiful decade. John loved and prayed for the human race. Please remember that he had deep faith and love for life and that, though he has now joined the greater force, he is still with us. -Yoko Ono December 1960 LEFT: Activities Board members tie o traditional yellow ribbon around the flog pole at Alton High.
