THE “GREEN” SCENE Next to their studies, what could be It oo : a ie most important to Jayem Students? é oY Having a good time, of course! This me ea involved dances, movies, shopping 7 sprees, and sports events. This turned into a serious problem — lack of ‘‘green.’’ This was then compounded by a student's more serious financial commitments which needed to be taken care of. For example, there were class dues, car payments, car insurance, gas money, and school supplies. How would a typical Jayem student solve all these money problems? Get a job! They took jobs in banks, pharmacies, department stores, beauty shops, and gift shops. There were fast food workers like Tasha Gowdy and Zena Samuels and there were the Mall workers like Amy Ridge, Amy Barnett, and Karen Young. All of them were trying to make the ‘SCENE GREEN.” LISA MANN GOES about her work at A N store in good spirits as she puts snow suits on dis- play. 3 : ; c : —— . . ; , ae ¥ , Bcd a LINDA ROSSER GIVES service with a smile at HONG PARK, JAMES Keller, and Tom Reeder Little Caesars. pee beet ieN es under control and working ef- iciently.

Doing It this way... People James Monroe High School has all types of people. Academic, ath- letic, artistic, and vocational are all words to describe our student body. The styles of dress and music varied greatly, but we all tended toward unity of ideals and pursuits. People made James Monroe an exceptional institu- tion. The eighth grade class, tradi- tionally trampled by the upper- classmen, learned to integrate itself into school society. The 24 People 4 bazaar hosted by the eighth graders was proof of their involvement. Mary Franklin commented that James Monroe was bigger than Walker- Grant, but she will enjoy her future years here. The eighth grade added much to the heritage of our school. The ninth graders were no longer under the oppression they felt the previous year. This year they really started high school. They felt class unity in the paying of class dues and representation on the SCA. The tenth grade was the interum between the lower and upper class. At times it seemed rather boring, revealed Amy Herndon. The girls’ club of the tenth grade hosted the Spring Dance and enjoyed the plan- ning and inviting. The eleventh graders had the busi- est year. Between receiving their licenses, class rings, taking PSAT’s and getting college information, they also planned the Prom. The realiza- tion of becoming a senior hit the whole class and fun times acceler- ated.
