“Act well your part, there all honor lies. cudtA-a-'Bo-'Bo? Art spells action in each of its three letters. This year we felt some real masterpieces were displayed outside office 211. Many of the artists possess talent as displayed in oils, water col- ors, and pastels. Among the sketches, brushes, and paints there was always action in 410. Mrs. Josephine Quigley is art instructor. Miss Carol James of the Dramatics Department also saw that there was never a dull moment. Whether plays were being read, or students perform- ing or studying the history of dramat- ics, the actors and actresses were al- ways on the move. The Music Department was in full swing this year again under the direc- tion of Mr. William Tepper and Mr. Carl Miller. Our terrific marching Trojans, and they were terrific, high- lighted each football game, while the chorus and string ensemble were not to be outdone by their performances. The three departments comprising the Fine Arts Department really went into action this year. Art, loved by all.

Library gives student great opportunity for learning. Mrs. Rachel Georg and Miss Twila Wassum, librarians JJw dibhcUuj— Gdjuon in (Di guiM Was there action in the library? Yes, in this deceivingly quiet domain, rockets shot us to other worlds, ships rushed us to other continents, and in these time machines we call books, we were hurled into the past, into the exciting adventures of yesterday. The students at JHS had a cascade of books from which to choose. From this stream of never-ending knowledge we drank from the wisdom of many authors and their noteworthy books—Lord ]im, Pride and Prejudice, Profiles in Courage and many others. The dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, and magazines aided us in our every day assignments. Under the guidance of Mrs. Rachel Georg and Miss Twila Wassum, librarians, over 10,000 books were in circulation. As another class graduates, let us not forget to acknowledge the part that the library plays in our school life. The big room on the third floor has furnished us with the hammer, the nails, and the wood with which to build our future. [ 28 ]

fahanaulkA SpdU fidtion At JHS, students have a diversified choice of electives. Many choose Mr. Frank Weaver's class in aeronautics. Mr. Weaver, a commercial pilot as well as an instructor, gives the added flavor of experience to his lessons. But all is not play! The problems presented by navigation, wind direction, and weather are all considered in the fundamen- tals of flying that these boys encounter as everyday classwork. There is more than just learning up from down involved in all the problems and discussions that the members of the aer- onautics class get into. Three able boys and a million-dollar smile from Mark Johnson, junior. Aviation has moved from a novelty course to a science and is one of the most important fields in the world today. The need for good pilots, navigators, and designers of airplanes is so great that opportunity is literally kicking down the door to offer the trained personnel a substantial job. The aeronautics class of JHS realizes this and is preparing its students for the opportunity before them. Mr. Frank Weaver with aeronautics class. [ 30 ]
