ELECTION '64 KEPT STUDENTS GUESSING Seniors Candi James and Bob Henderson are shown here in a friendly political argument during the election. The election of 1964 played a big part in the gov ernment and history classes this year. The senior government classes made scrapbooks of the Election Day results and the events leading up to them. The students of JCHS held a mock election, and President Johnson and Senator Humphrey emerged victorious over Republicans Goldwater and Miller in a landslide vote as it was on the national level. After the election, the classes continued their usual studies in United State government, United States history, and world history. The inauguration of President Johnson was an- other highlight ofthe year, as many students watch- ed the event from start to finish via television. At the beginning of the second semester, sociol- ogy was added to the social studies curriculum. At the end of the year, a more informed young America steps into a new light. Mr. McGeath points out a historical site in Indiana to one of his classes. tm

Mr. Keesleing's patience never ends in his teaching Linda Faulstich and other biology students become of algebra . experts of the microscope. SECRETS OF MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE What's cooking, Laurel? Laurel Chandler experiments with heated sulfur. A four-year mathematics course starts with begin- ning algebra and advances to geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry with emphasis on practical mathematics. Knowledge of space will come through efficiency in mathematics. The teaching of mathe- matics is simplified by the addition of the new mathe- matics room, the only one of its kind in Hamilton County. Science courses vary from physical science, bio- logy, and advanced biology to chemistry and physics taught in the well-equipped biology and chemistry laboratories. Intelligence in physics, physical sci- ence, and chemistry will help to produce a rocket ship and get it into space, but knowing biology and advanced biology will be necessary for life in space. The proper teaching ofscience and mathematics will create the success or failure of our Jackson Township community in the Space Age. E211

STUDENTS FIND OPPORTUNITIES IN BIG BUSINESS Students in beginning bookkeeping are busy concentrating on a new and difficult business transaction. Learning to type, take dictation, enter business transactions in ledgers, and recognize valid contracts, the students enrolled in the business education courses at Jackson Central were surely kept busy. Taking a timed writing is a big job, but many of the typing students found themselves typing sixty words per minute or even more. The typing classes performed an important duty for the school by mimeographing the programs for special convocations and also typing and duplicating the school paper, the Eagle's Cry. The business students worked hard this year to be able to step into the world of big business with the required basic knowledge. Erase, erase, erase. Mike Tharp has made a mistake and is diligently trying to correct it. 23
