GIVING THAT LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA The Adult Booster Club brought us many wonderful times this year. They had many cov- ered dish suppers, sold many football tickets, held many meetings, sponsored many activities and fund-raising projects, and still found energy to keep doing more. This dedicated group was led by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stevens, Co-Presidents, and enlisted its members from parents and students interested in Jenkins High School .This organization gave two lovely sports banquets — a Fall and a Spring Sports Banquet — honoring athletes, cheerleaders, and band members. The Booster Club's annual fund- raising project, a Barbecue dinner, raised a large sum toward a weight room to house the Universal Gym. This valuable group was always behind the lines giving that little extra some- thing that added so very much to school ac- tivities.

P.T.S.A. GETS IT ALL TOGETHER PTSA had a successful record at HV) of assist- ing students and faculty to obtain needed mate- rials and equipment. This past year PTSA fur- nished a pottery kiln for art, rendered services to the library, assisted the various student clubs, and gave a duplicating machine for one faculty lounge. PTSA published a newsletter three times during the year and assisted the school in mailing pre-school information and schedules. As interest and membership in- creased, PTSA hoped to expand the programs already in existence and reached out for other projects to further cement the relations of par- ents, teachers, and students in maintaining HVJ as the best school. i EXTREME UPPER: Mrs. Hill reads minutes of the last meeting.

The English classes this year developed with the idea that English is communication and as such takes many forms of expression. The Eng- lish Department offered such courses as Cub Reporting, Shakespeare, Choral Reading, Sa- tire, Drama, The Essay, Poetry, Research Paper, Southern Literature, and Creative Writing, to mention but a few. Student choices were end- less and were designed to meet the students' individual needs. With the implementation of the Quarter System, students at )enkins were allowed to take specialized courses in the areas that interested them. No matter how varied the students' interests, the English courses could truly offer them a slice of life” in preparing for the future. UPPER: And just a little word change here . . .
