In January We Were Evaluated by NCA After a year and a half of prepa- ration and improvement, Jackson was evaluated in January and of- ficially pronounced an accredited High School by the North Central Association of Colleges and Second- ary Schools. Cuiriculum, clubs, li- brary, guidance and health services, administration, school staff, and school-community relations were rated, using the Evaluative Criteria of the North Central Association as a guide. We passed the rigid tests, allowing Jackson ' s first senior class to be graduated from an accredited school. As well as an officially complete world within ourselves, we became an active part of the community. We checked the safety of the city ' s cars in oui- checklanes, and collected food for the needy at Thanksgiving. We helped and, in turn, were helped. The Band Boosters, a group of adults, collected needed money to buy band uniforms. Adults in the Jackson AFS Chapter found a home for Juan Jose Reyes, our foreign exchange student, and interviewed applicants for Americans Abroad. Experiences at Jackson and our re- lations with the community helped prepare us to exert leadership in all directions. BIGGER POSTERS may not always bring rictory, but Dave Mies and Don Bertrand both won.
