“May I have your attention please?” Many voices have serenaded stu- dents to sleep for years . . . and years ... It is only one of our many tra- ditions that are mirrored in the years 68-69 and reflected into the future. A newer custom at Jordan is the kick off dance which unites all the schools in a “competitive” spirit — so they can size each other up for the coming season. An older tradition — in fact, rather ancient, since our parents can remember it — is sitting on the bleachers at Memorial Stadium, eating peanuts and enthusiastically yelling “Jordan on to victory.” Jordan’s spirit was reflected in the flames of the colossal bonfire and boisterous pep rallies. For the CHS game, the Jackets adopted as their motto “Neither fog, nor gloom of night, nor Columbus High football players shall keep us from our goal” — and they didn’t. Showing their more refined' side, Jordan students shouted, screamed, threw confetti, and waved signs in support of their candidates during the mock Election. Accepting their defeats in the graceful tradition of American politics, the candidates politely bowed out with shouts of “Recount!” Many honors followed. Then in January . . . “Hey . . . Wanna rent a kid?” Smart and snappy, the Red Jacket Band pranced through the streets of Washington in the gala Inaugural Parade. However, the memories of tired feet faded, but they quickly revived as Jordan placed third in the an- nual March-of-Dimes Walkathon. In early spring, bedecked in Kiddie-Day attire, the “sophisticated” Sen- iors had one last swing at the happy-go-lucky days of squirt-guns, lollipops, and teddy-bears. With the memories from Kick-off to Graduation still fresh in their minds, Jordan students can truly say, “Those were the days.”
