Students Enliven Rally Democratic band, parades for Stevenson Wayne Nottle speaks for Stevenson As part of the social studies program last fall, both the Demo- cratic and Republican candidates and their platforms were discussed in P. D. and American history classes. By November students had become acquainted with the backgrounds of the candidates and the issues at stake. Then as a climax to several weeks of discussion, the entire student body participated in a polit- ical rally in the gym on November 3. Both the Republican and the Democratic parties had speakers representing their nominees — Stevenson and Sparkman for the Democrats and Eisenhower and Nixon for the Republicans. Student enthusiasm for their candidates was highlighted with bands, par- ades, and much fanfare by the student body. Finally on election day, Nov- ember 4, a polling place was set up and manned by a student election board with students voting for the candidates of their choice. Nazareth Area High School, true to town tradition, went Democratic with the final tally of 233 votes for Stevenson and 205 for Eisenhower. Students cast ballots
