Survey Results Reveal Surprises Cafeteria Named No. 1 Choice by John Cox Surveys tend to bring surprising results. An eating survey conducted by Mr. Starts' Sociology class concluded that the most popular place for eating lunch is the Jay High School cafeteria. The 7-11 is the second most popular eating spot, and is on top of the list for junior and senior girls and the junior boys. Ranking third was the Tastee Freez, which was high on the list of freshman girls and boys, and sopho- more girls. Eating at home, surprisingly, was fourth in the poll, ranking second with the freshman, sophomore, and junior boys. Weaver's Corner polled fifth and was in the top five choices of the sopho- more, junior, and senior girls. The senior boys had their own choice for first place - The Daylight Donut Shop, which ranked high on the sophomore and senior girls' list also. Jay High School students' favorite food for lunch is hamburgers, followed closely by cafeteria food. Sandwiches and sodas ranked fourth and fifth respectively, and trench fries polled a high fifth. Most Jay students spent less than 352.50 a week for lunch, which is not surprising, because the majority eat in the cafeteria. 14 JL TOP FIVE EATING PLACES TOP FIVE FOODS jGrades 9-125 jGrades 9-129 cafeteria hamburgers 7-1 1 cafeteria foods Tastee Freez sandwiches home soda pop Weaver's Corner fries

Netherton Leaves Behind 43 Years by Brent Gill When Tom Netherton walked out the doors ofthe elementary school building last spring, he left behind 43 years contributed to education but took with him a wealth of memories. Mr. Netherton started his career as an admin- istrator in 1940 in a rural school in Delaware County called Ftaper. After serving as principal there for one year, he transferred to Clouds Creek in 1941. After a year at Clouds Creek, he went to Peters Prairie in 1942 and taught until 1946, when he transferred to Mt. Herman. Five years later, in 1951, he was teaching at Taylor. Before coming to Jay in 1962, he spent 11 years there. Mr. Netherton received his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. He attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah for two summers and transferred to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he received his Master of Edu- cation degree. He continued his education by attending the University of Arkansas in Fayette- ville, and acquired his Administrative Certifi- Cate. Commenting on his philosophy of education, Mr. Netherton said, I enjoy helping children. I have always wanted to provide an environment for the boys and girls so they can develop the best they can. The biggest change Mr. Netherton has expe- rienced while working in the Jay Public School system, is in the involvement of the federal gov- ernment in the support and control of educa- tion. There are more rights promoted for the students and faculty, he added. Mr. Netherton's plans during his retirement include continuing his farming, a trip to the Northeast with his wife, Jauveda, and enjoying their 12 grandchildren. Mr. Netherton's hobbies include farming, traveling, and reading. He stated that someday he would like to write a book about some of the experiences he had in school as a child. He would also like to learn to paint. Mrs. Pat Shackelford, who has been a first grade teacher since Mr. Netherton came to Jay, had this comment to make: Mr. Netherton has been a good friend to the students as well as to the teachers. His utmost concern was always evident in his warm smile and friendly personal- ity. His life in the field of education can certainly be applied, as he retires, to the writing, 'Well done, thy good and faithful servant.'
