As freshmen, we entered JHS eager and happily an- ticipant of the varied and exciting future life of school. Earlyhindividual talents, representative of the versatility of our class as a whole, began to shine in various fields-sports, activities, studies, and leader- ship. Leadership emerged as the chief characteristic of our freshman year. We elected our first leaders, the officers of the class of '65. When called upon to work together on our first class project, the Home- coming float, everyone co-operated with fresh ideas and freely-given time and labor. We worked hard . . . and won first place. Our sophomore year was one of accordance with the chief purpose of a school-we studied, and we learned. We found what it meant to organize our time and to concentrate on the job at hand. We stayed up until late at night, writing themes and cramming vocabulary words into our heads. We were rewarded when a record number of our classmates were inducted 'into the National Honor Society as sophomores. So high was our academic achievement that, at the beginning of our senior year, ten stu- dents were qualified for the high honor of valedic- torian of our class.
