Heavy Debating
Precedes Choice
All students of ASHS voted in a
national mock election, Wednes
day, October 28, which was hedd
in the auditorium during first
period.
The electian followed a mominig
assembly program in which the
presidential candidates and their
issues were presented by mem
bers of the American 'Problems
classes. The election conoluded a
month’s unit study of the candi
dates and their issues.
Members of the five classes
totalling approximately 150 stu
dents of Mr. Alex Gibbs, Mr.
Wayne Altman, and Miss Cardyn
Bishop wrote letters to many
Congressmen, Governors, and oft-
er important men to get opinions
on the government in politics.
Mr. Henry Doby, head of the
Democratic party for this district,
airf Mr. Mke Isenhour, head of
' this district’s Republic^ party,
were ^est speakers for the class
es during Che unit of study.
Mr. Gibbs stated that the pur
pose of the mock election was to
try to influence the adults of the
community and challenge them to
learn as much as the s&lents had
learned. This was also the only
time that present ASHS students
would have a chance to study a
main election prior to reaching
the voting age.
Results of this school-wide elec
tion were published in at least
three statewide newspapers.
