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

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

THERE'S A SONG IN THE AIR... We're loyal to you, Central High. . As the singing voices fade and the instruments are stored in their cases, we look back on a year filled with music. What would a football game be like if the band weren't there to play after every touchdown? What would Christmas be without the chorus singing Christ- mas carols? The band and chorus played a big part in making the school year an enjoyable one. They added their musical touch to almost every event. Every morning during first period, you could hear the chorus singing loud and clear. Fifth period, the band came through with hearty songs. The year was brimming with music--Thanksgiv- ing, Christmas, Easter, and the Spring Music Festival. Mr. Lash explains a difficult passage in Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring as the band members listen at- tentively. Cheering in the Christmas season, the chorus runs through a few bars of Silver Bells accompanied by Mrs. Stone in preparation' for the annual Christmas program. i241
