CHMIGE. When students entered our high school last fall, they were greeted by a great number of changes. The personality of our alma mater was greatly modified. A new, enlarged library had replaced the former one which had been inadequate. Other classrooms had been remodeled to make them more efficient. Fourteen new teachers had been added to the faculty in fields ranging from art to college math. A new principal completed the conversion JHS had undergone during the summer. As the year progressed we became accus- tomed to cur altered surroundings and came to regard the new teachers as truly a part of our school. In our 1963 Crimson “) we want to pay tribute to that great instrument of progress— CHANGE—as it has affected us this year. Newton Bateman Memorial Hi h School Jacksonville, Illinois 3
