Jackson Hobbyists Discover Satisfaction The interests of Jackson students a re as varied as the students themselves. Individuals use their abilities in recreational and creative fields. The arts of crocheting, hooking rugs and decoupage are among their productive ac- complishments. Others find diversion in active sports. Hunting is a favorite with many; scuba-diving is a hit in warmer weather. In- deed, anything people enjoy — sewing, yoga, karate — is fair game for invasion by talented JHS ' ers seeking fun and relaxation. The time- honored pursuit of girl-watching and boy- hunting, however, were unchallenged, despite multiplication of other amusements. ON A CRISP FALL afternoon, Chris Hall and Gary Moon hunt for small game. SCUBA DIVER Steve Freeman demonstrates his skill by making a good entry into Eagle Lake. 12
