Teen-agers forceful The spirited presidential election of 1960 affected not only the adult world, but also a vast majority of the teen-agers. Students took a sincere interest in politics as they firmly stood up for the party of their choice or the man they felt could best lead the country through trying times. Party platforms, candidates, and campaigns headlined the discussions carried on in the halls of AHS. Everyone had his own opinion and ex- pressed this opinion, sometimes quite forcefully. The youthfulness of the two presidential candi- dates, Richard Nixon, Republican, and John Kennedy, Democrat, was appropriate. At the top of the teenage TV Trendex were the heated debates between the two men who fought out one of the closest elections the United States has ever seen. AHS band and students join townspeople at the courthouse to hear the then-presidential candidate John F. Kennedy during his nation-wide Whistle stop campaign.

A student photographer catches the scene of the blazing Church after it was transformed into the ap- pearance of an ice castle by the freezing gallons of water thrown upon it. The First Methodist Church stood as a land mark since 1900 until De- cember 22, 1960, when an arsonist set it on fire. 18 Firemen and the Yearbook photographer stayed up through most of the night, the former battling the flames, and the latter recording' their efforts. .si-Aga' I7
