LET US TELL YOU . Looking back, it seems as if this were our greatest year of high school. Oh, sure, the first two years in the old brick building and last year were fun, but this year was THE year, for we were seniors. This was our second year in the almost-new high school with its modern architecture, and spacious grounds fgigantic when you're racing the tardy bellj. The first year was rather hectic with about 450 people getting adjusted at once, but this year we fat least we upperclassmenj did not feel any strange- ness at all, but rather as if this were our home. Because this was our home weld like for you to know more about it in hopes that you will come to love it as we do. To understand our school you must know something of our town. Jackson- ville, '6The Tomato Capital of the World,', is a town of about 11,000 people situated in the East Texas pine hills. It is not very outstanding in any specific way, but rather is just one of the many small and medium-sized towns which dot the nearby countryside. ln our hearts it is special, though, for in it dwell the people who make up our own personal worlds. In it also is our high school with students from both our town and many outlying communities. The town kids make up the greatest pan of our student body, but our school would never be complete without the others, for those communities produce some of the most outstanding members of our school. Enough for now, though, so let,s get on with the tour.
