STUDENTS FIND THE HELP THEY SEEK Whenever a student at Jordan has a problem, Mrs. Stubbs is there to help. Personal problems, student- teacher relations, and academic standards are only a few of the categories which qualify a student for guidance counseling. Each year Mrs. Stubbs is also responsible for aiding seniors in selecting colleges which suit their individual needs. Then she assumes the tremendous task of super- vising college applications. 14 ' i mLA I MH l llLl i » !i ' ! WJ. ' ' . ' , ' » i . i , » l M i ».W| B( . ' J. ' . ' ' vWH

STUDENTS TAKE PRIDE IN LITERARY HERITAGE Mrs. Hill Mrs. Posey Mrs. Calvert The Englisn Department has always believed that pride in our literary heritage is basic to a well rounded personality. They also recognize the fact that good grammar is an important part of communication. English teachers endeavor to give each stu- dent a strong background in literature and good grammar. Mrs. Glaze Mrs. Dixon Mrs. Shannon This year the National Council of Teach- ers of English awarded the Mortimer Jordan English teachers a citation for excellence in the teaching of English.
