JENKINS Drury High School is extemely fortunate to have Mr. Carl Jenkins as part of its faculty for the past eight years. Many people will agree that the talents of this man are truly endless. His greatest gift, however, is his ability to make all of his students work together like the parts of a well-oiled machine. Every year he under- takes the challenge of molding a diverse group of students into one cohesive unit. With a touch of care, a dab of leadership, and a great amount of devotion, year after year he succeeds in forming an award winning group. What is his secret? Perhaps it is that Mr. Jenkins not only teaches his students lessons in music, but also lessons in maturity. Every band member learns to appreciate and adjust his needs to those of his fellow musi- cians. Members even consider the band as their second family, with Mr. Jenkins as head father and friend. Moreover, this influence and devotion does not stop at the bandroom door. For instance, the sparks of his enthusiasm spread to everyone at pep rallies and to the annual Christmas assemblies. His contibutions are also visible at football games, concerts, parades, and the highly praised musicals put on each spring, not to mention the invaluable assistance he gives to the stage crew. As if these functions weren't enough, he even teaches each years' graduates how to sing the class ode! Mr. Jenkins, in gratitude for all your dedication to the student body of Drury, and for putting a little music into all of us, we would like to offer you our sincere thanks. For these reasons we are proud to dedicate our l984 Nathanite to you. 2
