MAKING A CLEAN SWEEP PEPSI For over a decade, the keeper of Jen- kins has roamed the halls. More than ten years ago. a new custodian was chosen. Out of numerous nominees, the principal at that time. James A. Reynolds, chose Mr. Willie Bynes. Mr. Bynes still walks the campus. He has been in charge of the school grounds, the buildings, and. of course, the candy machines. Most students re- membered Mr. Bynes for the time he spent at the candy machine, giving out change and selling colas. Unlike a teacher’s job which runs from August through June. Mr. Bynes worked year 'round. He was the first to arrive and the last to leave, and he was almost never absent. During the summer months, he prepared the grounds and buildings for the coming year.

P-ARENTS T-EACHERS S-TUDENTS Studies have shown that teenagers and their parents seem to be drifting apart. The so-called “generation gap” seemed to be getting wider and wider as adults began understanding their children less and less. This lack of un- derstanding included the area of educa- tion. Perhaps because some parents had not been to school for a long time, they didn’t or couldn't understand the problems and pressures of a student of the 80’s. School has changed drastical- ly over the years. Along came the PTSA to bridge this gap. The Parents Teacher Student As- sociation was an organization which brought parents, students, and teach- ers together to discuss and understand today’s education in a school atmo- sphere. At these meetings, held month- ly, members discussed various student social and academic problems and at- tempted to come up with solutions. Frequently, important public figures would speak at these meetings, such as Dr. Ronald Etheridge and DeWayne Hamilton. The 1984-85 officers were; Presi- dent—Sally Krissman, Vice-Presi- dent—Erastus Gibson. Secretary— Sara Love, and Treasurer—John Cool- er. PTSA helped parents, teachers, and students join together so that students could receive the richest education possible. UPPER: Concerned parent states opinion at PTSA meeting.
