. f fs 3 W Jordan Junior High School is many things. It is you, the student-body, it is you, the teacher, it is you, the parent, it is you, the public. It is an idea, a tradi- tion, a hope, a promise-and least of all, it is a building. Most of all, it is faith in the future. Democracy as we know it is based on this faith in the future, and on educa- tion-for free, public education is truly if 1 'Wt 5. the key to a realized faith. Thus it is we, of- the 1955 Dolphin, have chosen a key theme for this year- book. We know that the pass-key to our future lives is education, and, in years to come, perhaps this book will be the key that will open the doors to many familiar and happy memories of Jordan Junior High School. if W if ' evil' 3 pf 'f,,, 1, .
