Education Begins in the Home, School, Church Students of Jenkins High School are eager to get somewhere and get there soon, YOUTH’S UTOPIA. As they live for the present, their hopes and interest center around their future careers. Liken to tidal pressure that swells the MIDSTREAM, so maturity swells to goals of higher learning and assumes the respon- sibilities of adulthood. Since learning must be receptive to discipline and instruction, time, place, requirement, achievement, and purpose must be given due emphasis in the curriculum. Class assembly bell rings at 7:55 A.M. with the tardy signal at 8:00 A.M. Six 50 minute peri- ods comprise a regular school day with a 30 minute period for a hot lunch, closing the day at 2:30 P.M., 5 days per week. 180 school days are required for a school year. Jenkins is surrounded by a thriving and grow- ing residential area located in the southeastern' section of the county. There are many churches of various denominations, elementary and sec- ondary schools, medical centers, recreational centers and shopping plazas. While this section is comparatively new, its residents are closely allied with the beautiful unique old city through its legacy, industrial and business interest. The busy Savannah River and near-by water fronts will ever unite the citizens of Savannah and Chatham County.
