As we entered these doors for another year, we knew that we were beginning the last days of our journey in quest of our ultimate goal of higher education. We knew all too well that soon our days of J .H.S. would become merely a part of our fondest memories. We, the seniors of Jamestown High School, feel justifiably proud of the fact that we have had the opportunity to pass through these doors. We are pround, too, of the fact that we are a part of this atomic age. In helping to usher in this ear we have been subjec- ted to many new experiences. Never be- fore have the pupils at Jamestown been offered the many opportimities which are now available to us. Our cirriculum now includes practically all subjects that are taught in modern high schools. We are proud, too of the fact that now approxima- tely 850 pupils attend our schools under the instruction of 32 well-trained and ex- perienced teachers. We realize that soon these experiences will be only memories, but trust that these experiences will prove to be valuable in our adult life. sl t I 'Nm X X V t ' X-f , K4 'Y ij in .aff
