Summer proj ects include driver education Few students can forget their 2- week driver ed course or summer band with an air conditioning failure forcing them out into the yard. 4-H summer projects brought honors to Jacksonites. Pam Lofgren and Valerie Marsh went to the State Fair dress revue where Valerie won a first. Joel Zimmer ' s steer, Obadiah, finished 3rd in a class of 21. He weighed 860 pounds and was sold at 171 cents a pound. Vickie Marshall and her dog, Tiger-Jag en, placed 5th in state dog obedience competition. Some Jacksonites found pleasure in flying planes or riding bicycles. But whether on the ground or in the air, they made the most of a too short summer.
