Youth Contributes, Creates, and Develops in T list as the flow of the river reflects the changing pattern of life that is lived along its hanks, so Jenkins High School reflects the changing pattern of attitudes, values, and perceptions experienced by the students who pass this way. The student of Hersehel V. Jen- kins sees his own resources in their relationship to the total wealth of the total resources around him. Like the course of the river, he follows an established pattern which will enable him in his turn to control and subdue his environment. Education, the river of learning, invites the eager student, inspires him to make his contribution, helps him to develop insights, and promotes ways and means of reaping life’s golden har- vest. No single image can define the spiral of inter- est, moods, growth and achievements of Jenkins High School. The Savannah River, steadily sup- plied with nature’s rich deposits, is similar to the midstream of education. Each student grows through experiences and academic blocks of study. In maturity he subdues as he participates in the active citizenry of the world. The many facets and values of learning contribute to local, state, and national progress which adds to the dynamic upswing of modern society. Savannah, the last of the thirteen English col- onies, was settled in 1733 by General James Edward Oglethorpe, located on the high yellow bluff, Yamacraw, overlooking the Savannah River. The head of the unique red clay river waters begins in the northern hills of Georgia and is fed by inland tributaries as it winds southward to the Atlantic Ocean. This makes the city of Savannah a world seaport of renown beauty, pleasure and trade.
