OUR SClH00l - ' l l ,Figiggys if' ilfllflg all, 'Q ,.,i13.1.....w M Twenty-five years ago our school was built. Its builders fashioned it with bricks, mortar, and stone to make it strong and durable. lt has stood the test. During those twenty-tive years many people have entered it, have given their contributions, and have gone oft into the world. There were teachers who came to pass their knowledge on tor these students. Organizations sprang up. Some organizations died, and others strengthened and flourished. l wonder just what story these walls could tell. Triumph-sorrow- joy-defeat-all are .needed -to make up a strong character. Jackson has had its share of each. There were years when times were hard and victories were few but the school still shone through. lt weathered these slumps as it had weathered the stormy winds. A - Yes it was built strong with mortar, brick and stone. But the joys and sorrows ot its students haveimingled with 'these to give the building an aspect of life. lt forms a picture that will be carried forever in the hearts ot its students.

'lt DUB PRIHUPHL Elmer E. Shaw B. S. in Education, Ohio State University Bowling Green State University Heidelberg College University of Chicago History, Social Science, Math The commencement season is one of both gladness andsorrow for me. Gladness because it marks a triumph in the lives of you seniors. The fact that you are graduates is proof of having successfully completed all therequir- ments of Jackson-Liberty. lt is an hour of sadness because it means the end to four years of living together, sharing each others suc- cesses, comforting each other in our failures, and planning together your future. In that future of yours, we, your teachers, are tremendously interested, and ever ready to counsel with you. ' Remember J-L as your alma mater and remember that the latch string is always out. UUR SUPERIHTEHDEHT P. D. Cunnavan, B. S., M. S. in Education Oakland City College lndiana University History, Social Science, Biology Congratulations, Class of l947, upon your opportunity to produce the year book com- memorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of your high school. This book also marks the beginning of an- other period in the development of the educa- tional facilities of this community. ln May we shall know by a vote of the people if we are to enlarge our .plant and enrich our of- ferings to the student body or whether we shall seek a union with some other school dis- trict. One thing we know, we cannot long remain aswe are. I have a feeling that this year has been one of growth for the great majority of our students. May all the next years show pro- gress, too. - Hard work is a kind of Patriotism. Joy in life is the test of balanced living. it 1 . - -. i -- . - . .. l . Y , 11, if PM .-Mr v .7 .
