Jenkins High School - Sequoyah Yearbook (Savannah, GA)

In spite of humid weather, chat- ters, smiles, giggles with a familiar “Hi there” echoed through the loggias and halls of H. V. Jenkins High School. Students had no trou- ble renewing acquaintances and making new friends, with a common interest — study. Unfamiliar sched- ules gave little disturbance, but by the close of the 6th period at 2:30 P.M., order was evident, lessons were assigned and the familiar hum of classroom work hovered over the entire school.

Student Council Co-Ordinates and Promotes Organized Leadership in the Spring The outgoing council Initiated a mock pattern of civil law nomination for seniors, juniors, and student council. A ballot was made and voted on by the student body. Freedom of choice was exercised by the voters. Sophomore class elections were held in the fall. April and May were big campaign- ing months. Managers and friends were busy convincing voters to cast their ballots for their candidates. Slogans, posters, ribbons and but- tons were eye-catchers to popularize the nominees. The highlights were the final assemblies when rousing speeches, skits, and rip-roaring an- tics were performed for the excit- ed audiences in hopes of winning last minute voters. Organized clubs had similar elections within their groups which completed the annual cycle for school elections.
