JhsL SxJwoL 1906 Columbus Industrial High School J’i iAt StudAfiL Sodif. 93 fontaniA. ... The School Classes Athletics Activities Ads THEME In December 1906, when Secondary In- dustrial was opened, only twenty-nine pupils enrolled. Before June 1907, there were almost one hundred. Like the great Chattahoochee River that rolls steadily onward through the passing years, vocational education has been ever coursing its way in Columbus with apparent momentum. J. V. H. S. now has more than a thousand pupils; and according to predictions, the present building cannot accommodate an increased number of pupils next year and in the future.

Dear Fellow Jackets, Throughout the first half of this 20th Century, Jordan has evolved to its present place of progressive educational enterprises. During the first five years of the century it was but a dream, which crystallized partly from the generous and alert actions of Mr. G. Gunby Jordan. From 1906, when Secondary Industrial (first name of school) was opened, until 1912, Industrial High (second name) proved itself a vital part of the educational program in Columbus. For the next thirty years it grew in every way, so that in 1937 the school plant had to be moved to its present loca- tion. Then it became known as Jordan Vocational High Under the expert guidance of the Columbus Board of Education, the institution pioneered and succeeded in voca- tional education. It is with some nostalgia, therefore, that on January first of this year—1950—we said farewell to the Columbus City System. It is with justifiable pride, however, that we have now become a vital part of a larger educational program—the Muscogee County School District. May you, all alumni, and all future generations of Red Jackets, join us, the Red Jacket Staff of the Mid-Century year, in an optimistic prediction that Jordan's name and fame will be even greater in 2000 A.D. Wanda Terry, Editor
