Students Perform In ' Our Town ' - Upon Two Stages . . . you ' ve got to have life to love life and you ' ve got to love life to have life. This theme was the main message of Our Town. Under the direction of Mr. John H. B. Kauss, lead per- formers Bill Obenour, Sue Merriman, and Dave Koch lived and loved their way through a pre- World War I small town. While students participated in, or enjoyed watching Our Town, they were at the same time actors in a larger drama, performed on the stage of South Bend. The theme of this larger production was involvement, in the POW prob- lem, in the March for Leukemia and for the March for Development. But even though Jackson students accepted their roles in a more complex society, the con- tinuing relevance of Our Town indicated a re- lationship with dreams that has remained un- changed through the years. VOTING demands concentration as 18-year-old Greg W«ttner exercises his new privilege. 23

Year Produces Winners in Athletics, Excellence in Academic Achievements Whether or not Jackson students realize it, they are having fun. In the classroom, and especially outside it, camaraderie is developed by years of enduring education together. Common experience grows into friendships and lifetime memories. Watching the state swim meet, celebrating the basketball team ' s sec- tional win, appreciating the high standards of the band, Jackson students share the achieve- ments of their high school community. Each person contributes something to the exchange of personality that has sparked athletic and academic success. State champions in track and wrestling, open lunch, All-American publica- tion ratings, and National Merit scholarship winners evidence the maturity built by seven years of Tiger tradition. Yet while taking pride in 1400 others, stu- dents pursue unique interests, bound together now by six hours of class five days a week, yet soon to launch their lives on separate paths. Escaping the sheltered environment of pre- dictable codes and degrading rules, today ' s Jacksonites will have to supply answers to the complex problems of the future. Perhaps in less simple surroundings even tiresome lectures and well-meaning advice will be remembered with a certain fondness. In seven years the institution of Jackson High School has matured. Whether or not the students attending it have matured to the same degree, they will always recall the experience of growing together.
