Q.: x A1 J Q.. ' in J Tv-, ' . fu -ahf .. ? Students kept tab and gave the Word Did you ever wonder who was responsible for the red lines on attendance cards that busted you every time you skipped? You can thank the students working in the attendance office for that. Working for half credit, the students did quite a bit. One student was assigned to a floor during a certain class. This student collected cards from each teacher and took them then to the attendance office, where thousands were handled daily. Other jobs of the student involved writing up suspen- sion slips, making tardy cards, attendance cards, and working at the desk helping to sign out students. The class, instructed Mrs. Gloria Hill, was taken mainly because a small number of students couldn't fit anything else in their schedule. Although students in the attendance office kept the administration aware of the absences, these weren't the only informers in the school. Maybe you remember those three strange voices that woke you up in the middle of your homeroom nap to remind you of the days' schedule. The P.A. announcers, advised by Mrs. Gloria Egeler, were chosen each semester by how loud and clearly they could read the announcements they had to give. Even though the announcers sometimes stuttered or mixed up the messages, JHS activities sometimes couldn't have survived without them. by Sue I-Iarsch WN ' s 4.

Magazines, blood ,. ,, both J HS Winners Winners again. Although donations were down, we still topped Parkside in the annual JHS blood bank. Donated by students, faculty, and members of the community, a total of 161 pints were collected April 26 in our 23rd annual drive. This brought to JHS for the second consecutive year for collecting more blood than Parkside, Napoleon, Northwest, Vandercook Lake, and Lumen Christi. According to senior Joan Kreiger, blood bank student chairperson, 123 students donated blood. Mr. Watkins, blood bank adviser, contributed another pint, making his personal total 48 pints, or six gallons! It was no problem for Mr. Prahl to give blood this year either, as it was his 50th pint. JHS proved as good in selling magazines as it was in giving blood. Jackson High students totaled 815,811 worth of subscriptions in the 1978 magazine campaign. Out of the total sold, J HS added 353,261.57 to its trea- sury as its share of the profit. In competition the senior class received S100 for sell- ing the most. Juniors won S753 and the ninth graders, in third place, received 350. The rookies, selling the least received 325. In more ways than one, JHS students showed that they did care what happens throughout the community. by Sue Harsch 1 - Mr. Edward Prahl finds no problem in filling out the necessary forms to donate his 50th pint of blood. 2 - Giving that first pint isn't as bad as it looks, in fact, it's quite relaxing as John Zonts, junior, finds. 3 - This blood will be weighed and marked before it is shipped to Lansing for processing. f X. 3 .

The made it, without an help A group rarely mentioned but always there to help was the Host and Hostess Committee, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Ola Dutcher. They were not a club, but volunteers ready to serve at school functions. A favorite job of the student committee was ushering for the JHS musical Sugar . Other jobs tackled by the hosts and hostesses were helping out at concerts and lending a hand at the Jackson Symphony Concerts in the JHS auditorium. Another independent group at JHS was the Bible Study Club. They were a group of people who joined together not only for prayer but for a whole lot of fun. Car washes, surprise parties- and a mystery dinner were just a few of the activities that the club participated in. Adviser to the club was Mr. Gary Holton. These two groups were without school support, but they survived on their own and had a heck of a time. 1 - Host and Hostess Committee, front: Sam Reider, Michelle Willis. f3ack: Steve Cyrocki, Denise Chalfant, Jan VanSumeren, Lisa McCol- um. 2 - Spring brings people outsideg the front lawn of J HS makes a nice setting for junior Randy Robb as he sits in a state of concentration with other members of the Bible Club. 3 - Bible Club, front: Jill Hister, Gail Nonnemacher, Joyce Hill, Jana SeGraves.
