UNITED WE STAND. When isn't that an appropriate slogan? Yet this year it was more appropriate than ever. Piere Denson Jackson-Olin High School is the same school that first opened its doors in 1952. but things have changed. For the first time since the late 1970's, over 900 students packed the building to capacity. And this time it wasn't the postwar baby boom. What caused the swelling of the rolls at JOHS was declining enrollment. In 1985 the Birmingham Board of Education first heard Superintendent Walter G. Harris's proposal to close several schools, and one of them was Glenn High School. Then the administrators took a pencil and drew' new lines all over the map of Birmingham. Jackson-Olin. like every other school that remained open, got new boundaries. This was O.K. with Jackson-Olin. The Mustangs have always welcomed newcomers, but it was not so hot an idea for those students, especially seniors, whose school was closed, or who had to be uprooted from their home school. They wondered if Jackson-Olin would ever be home. Jackson-Olin is a strong school and a proud school. It was hard for Mustangs to understand how anyone could object to being a Mustang. Yet when they considered how they would feel it their school had closed, they understood. After all. it is the future which is at stake ... UNITED WE STAND! WE STAND
