Machine in Memonal Room A two-thousand dollar goal was exceeded by three hundred dollars after a three-week campaign to raise money for a Universal Gym machine. Fund-raising activities included the traditional Ugly Boy contest and the Little 500 bike race, along with some new projects. Homerooms collected pop bottles for refunds; and faculty ping pong games, a candy walk, basketball free throws, and dancing not only enlivened the atmosphere of the gym during noon hour but also brought us closer to the goal. The weight machine was purchased in memory of Mr. Robert Gordes, a student teacher who was killed in a trampoline accident at Jackson in 1969. W S MONtY-RAISING activities ranged from raffles to ping- pong. Steve Wechter (left) challenges a teacher, and Nancy Kennedy wins a tape player from Mr. Herczeg (below).

Raindrops Kep+ Falling on Our Heads On the night of Homecoming 1970, it was destined to rain. But the spirit of JHSers was not dampened by the weather or by various mishaps. After going through yards of red tape, several juniors gained possession of a con- demned house and tore it down to use the wood for the annual bonfire. When demolition of the house was complete, a city-wide ordinance banning school bonfires was made public, much to the dismay of both the house-wreckers and the rest of the student body. After several weeks of work, the Homecom- ing float was completed. On the afternoon be- fore the game, students were driving it down U.S. 31 when a semi whizzed past, sucked the crepe paper out of the chicken wire, and left Jackson with one very naked float. A sudden downpour during halftime ceremonies and a one-point loss polished off the evening. PARTICIPATING in Homecoming festivities were YFU students Susie Schmidt (Germany) and escort Joris Reymer (Belgium). Branka Stirn (Yugoslavia) was es- corted by Chris McVay. 13
