Portsmouth, Ohio 6 ' ■ ■ ■ . ■ ... ■ The eyes of our school are on the future . . . not in the sense of peering toward the unknown in the attempt to foretell the events of tomorrow and the shape of things to come, but in the sense of presenting a new and clearer view of today in preparation for tomorrow,- we seek a knowledge of the forces and ideas that prevail in our lives as well as an understanding of the materials at our command. To its visitors our school will say: “Here are the materials, ideas, and forces at work in education. These are the tools with which the School of Tomorrow must be made. They are all interesting and much effort has been expended by the community to lay them before our youth in an interesting way. Familiarity with today is the best preparation for tomorrow. — Adapted ■ ' ' ' 7 A” GLEE CLUBS The Jackson Glee Clubs are rapidly climbing to the top, under the direction of Mr. Davis.

Today it is one of the most popular sports in Jackson as well as throughout the entire nation. The Jackson Ironmen opened their gridiron season with Wheelersburg Pirates. After much fighting, our team came out on top with a score of 19 — 0. Our first out of town game took us to Chillicothe where our team met with stiff opposition. Throughout the entire game the crowd was furnished with many thrills and chills. During the first quarter the Calvaliers scored a touchdown as a result of a pass. They also succeeded in scoring their extra point. In the third quarter Jackson rendered their only score with a pass by Bob Chapman to Junior Bram-mar. The following kick was a miss, thus leaving Jackson Ironmen on the bitter end of a 7 — 6 score. Opening the game under the lights the Ironmen scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of the game with New Boston. The Ironmen flashing a streak of undefeatable football, easily overpowered the New Boston Tigers to the tune of 44 — 0. The Ironmen, playing their first league game on foreign soil with Middleport, came out on the short end of a 21 — 0 score. During the first half the Ironmen and Yellow Jackets played on even terms, but during the second half the Yellow Jackets came back with a mighty aerial raid. They marched down the field once in the third quarter and twice in the fourth. Thus the score stood 21 — 0. Being defeated by the Middleport team, Jackson next journeyed to Gallipolis with a determination to win. The Ironmen showing superiority crossed the Blue Devils goal line twice. The Blue Devils were not able to stop the swooping end runs of the Ironmen, thus the locals came out on top with a 14 — 0 score. The Greyhounds, our next visiting team, brought one of the strongest teams Nelsonville ever put out. Mixing perfect passes with spectacular runs and line plays. The Jackson Ironmen looked like a championship outfit, coming out on the long end with a score of 15 — 6. The next victims for the Ironmen were the Athens Bulldogs. The Bulldogs played on even terms with the Ironmen during the first half, however, during the third and fourth quarters the Jackson eleven scored twice failing to secure the extra points. Thus at the final crack of the gun, the score stood 12 — 0. Although playing good football, the Pomroy Panthers were simply out classed by our more experienced Ironmen. The local boys scored in each quarter and obtained their extra point in all quarters except the third. The final score was 27 — 0. One of the most important games of the season was played on foreign field with the Chieftains. We were fighting to be co-champs of the South Eastern Ohio League. Playing in the rain and on a muddy field the Ironmen showed much skill in the defensive and offensive work. During all the game the crowd was provided with many thrills as a result of good playing on the part of both sides. At the end of the third the score was 0 — 0. Then during the fourth quarter Bob Steele intercepted a pass and extended it to one only tally. The Chieftains, trying to score, were held at bay by the Iron-men. As the game ended the score board showed Jackson 6 — Logan — 0. The Oak Hill eleven came to Jackson determined to beat Jackson on our own field. Both teams were in scoring positions a number of times but it was to no avail to both teams. The larger Oak Hill eleven stopped the driving attack of the Ironmen in this game. Oak Hill, trying to smash the Ironmen line, tried to reach paydirt. As this drive was in full swing a land report was heard, the game was over. The score read 0 — 0. Saving everything for the annual Turkey day game, with Wellston, our rival, the Jackson eleven tanned the Golden Rockets to a score of 19 — 0. During the first half Jackson scored 6 points. Playing at a 6 point advantage on the Golden Rockets for the third quarter, the Ironmen scored twice in the fourth. The game ended 19 — 0. 1 MERRILL EVANS ____Center BILL SHAW.....Right Guard MARLIN MAPES ...
