Focus on 1965 The Jackson Township School opened its doors for the 1964-1965 school year on September 3, 1964. As the portals of education were flung open, 590 eager students streamed into Jackson Town- ship ' s educational plant. For some it was the be- ginning of a memorable and magnificient experi- ence. For others it was nearly the end, but all students fixed their sights on the goal of an educa- tion to meet the challenges that lie ahead. As the year unfolded, we formed our routines, and then tried to devise clever and unique means of varying them. Students took pride in participating in athletics, 4-H, Sunshine Society, Red Cross, Stu- dent Council, or other activities offered. New courses strengthened the curriculum, while the addition of several enthusiastic new teachers to a staff of capable veterans made the educational opportunities at Jackson Township as great as in any school. Now let us direct our attention to the unfolding pages as we reminisce and focus on 1965.

on Variety of Life Let it never be said that RHS students are lazy. The best time to find them bursting with energy is the second after class is dismissed for lunch. Com- ing in second place as a rush time at Roanoke School is the minute the final bell rings, closing the day ' s activities. Students ore seen doing numerous things during the school day — besides studying, of course. At noon hour many shed their excess energy in the gymnasium, participating in various games and sports. Others can be seen walking leisurely through the hall talking over the activities of the day and those that will occur in the future. Still others, al- though few in number, can be found industriously cleaning and polishing their lockers, or finishing an assignment at the last minute. A break in the daily routine such as assembly programs and pep sessions is always appreciated by the students. These happenings constitute a va- riety of life at R.H.S. Adding variety to the students ' days are the frequent pep sessions during basketball season. Autograph-seeking students gather around Mr. Charles King, spiritual singer, after he presented one of the year s finest as- sembly programs.
