NANCY KENNEDY perfects the splits as well as other cheerleading abilities. Leisure Time Jackson students managed, as teenagers will, to find plenty of things to do during those long, lazy days of summer. Tower Hill saw more than one group of Tigers soaking up sun on sandy beaches. The Dairy Queen captured many Jackson customers when the heat seemed to demand a cooling treat. Some preferred local amusements — visiting Storyland Zoo, golfing, playing baseball, or relaxing at one of the area pools. Other JHS ' ers ventured further afield. A canoe trip to Canada made a success of several students ' summer. The business world was invaded by Jacksonites hoping for summer jobs. Finally there were those who did nothing special but consoled themselves with the pleasure of summer ' s freedom. Fall brought a change in the atmosphere. Crisp, cool air carried the sounds of motor- cycles behind Red Barn. Monotonous green yielded to the brightly varied hues of nature ' s last triumph before winter ' s onslaught. Foot- ball games, band practice, pizza at Barnaby ' s, the odor of burning leaves made autumn a season to be enjoyed. DEMONSTRATING form that earned him the title of Pizza-Eating King is Dave Dailey. ON HIS WAY to winning a kewpie doll at the 4-H Fair is senior Mike Hitson. EVEN AT TOP SPEEDS Norman Milcherska keeps his poise. 15

They May Not Make It to the Moon, But Power Mechanics ' Rockets Fly DON HERSHBERGER lubricates the parachute shaft with flour to ensure its opening. MIKE SAILORS twirls the rocket to test for its stability. Although preceded by scientists from God- dard to Werner Von Braun, power mechanics students designed and built rockets of their own without relying on existing models. Each class members subjected his missile to tests, hoping to determine what modifications would keep it aloft. The cylindrical rockets, con- structed of very heavy paper with nose cone and tail fins of balsa wood, were propelled by small engine cylinders filled with commercial solid fuel. The engines, ignited by live wires running from automobile batteries, burned from four to seven seconds. An ejection charge- blew off the nose cone and released a plastic or silk parachute. 16
