Impatiently they wait for the clerk to bring their own ring. Fun, Facls, Friends. Teenagers chose various hobbies. They re-ar- ranged car exteriors and tore apart the car's motors. Gathering at one anothers' houses, they spent long evenings concentrating on cardplaying. Whether it was bridge, hearts, or old maid, these zanny parties usually ended up in a noisy clatter of chatter and the clanging of the plate of pizza being passed from one to another. Teachers often dispensed with their hard sched- ule of teaching to join the publication staffs for cof- fee second hour. The fads this year consisted of switching the horned-rimmed glasses to contacts, occasionally re- placing the usual daily apparel for the Sunday best, and girls hemming up their skirts. Fun seemed to sum up the whole year's activity at Adams. Tired of the every day atmosphere during lunch hour, these boys have decided that the dinner aire suggests a pleasant change. Are you worthy of respect? , is the question posed by the Eagle Ethics committee in their pageant of respect. 'I7

From Niagara Falls to Reno, students pay for sentimental marriages and quick divorces at the Senior Carnival. JJ Campaign demonstrations for senior class oflicers are both noisy and colorful. These three are supporting their choices. 'I6 Activity lills that final year of high school. The senior year climaxes all that has come before it. Elections began this year for the class of '6O. Noise makers, banners, and speeches won votes for nomi- nees at the senior class rally. A midway, side show, and circus rolled into one big carnival expanded the class' treasury. As students, officers, and members, seniors snatched time for study between meetings. They donated time to Adams Hours. Tests, college bulletins, job applications, and interviews, faced sen- iors considering their future. Announcement order blanks and cap and gown receipts hinted that gradu- ation was near. Swirling at the prom marked the end of class activities. Mr. Crowe is happy because he thinks he knows the answer to the who-dun-it mystery. june Rosenstein chooses this moment to ask for a pass from study hall.

There have been some changes made. Jim Daniels, an Adams alumni, takes part in welcoming new teachers and Frosh to Adams at the Back to School Assembly. Adams improves its tradition. The 1959-60 Al- bum is a combination of the new and the old. A changed shape comes together with the traditional cover. New freshmen joined three year senior vet- erans. New ideas circulated through the halls. The clubs began new projects. Students thought up new pranks such as pushing the classroom intercom but- tons. A new purpose was found for the auditorium: feet formally dancing in the Little Theatre, sock hopped in the gym. These little changes were overshadowed by mod- ern machinery. Twenty-one classrooms, more office space, and a language laboratory met students in September. Progress continued. Adams promises more changes both those brought about by students and by building projects. Mr. Rothermel stands agaze at the vast new structure, the new wing, which last summer seemed only to be a . . '3 .... ll--.l f . dream. 18 fe i.::..
