EE Presidential election is an important experience in the high school years of any student, and AHS students of 1952-53 took no chance of missing the fun connected with politics. Students discusssed the two platforms in class, campaigned for their favorite nominee, and rallied to the call of party prin- ciples. After registering in their class precincts, they enjoyed balloting on November 3. Most fun of all was the political rally staged by Miss Rece's American history classes. Stuffed-shirt politician Harry Todd quoted from the Gettys- burg Address and led the audience in the Star Spangled Banner. Speakers jack Smith, Dugan Smithers, Bill Knight, and Barbara Massad represented civil rights, the veterans vote, labor, and women's rightsi Ronald McNeil and jerry Wayne Brown portrayed General Eisenhower and Gover- nor Stevenson in a skit touching present-day government administration. Mike Thomp- son, with the aid of his effective chart, gave a soap-box appeal urging everyone to vote. To think of politics, campaigns, or questions involving American history is to think of Miss Rece who planned and sponsored this rally. It proved to be one of the assemblies of 1952 in which students found most originality and fun. Q' 'ba 1.-A 3 MISS MUNCY RECE
