COMPETITIVE LANGUAGE Most people thought English was hard, unnecessary, or boring, but Competitive? Yes, it was true, English was competitive in one way or another. The English electives were competitive. Journalism, taught by Mr. Gebrart was one elective that gave students a chance to collect certain facts and put them into a story. These stories were gathered in the school newspaper, HI JENKS. A new elec- tive appeared at Jenkins. It was Basic Speech, taught by Miss Bryan. This taught students how to give a speech in front of crowds and compete with others for awards. The final elective was yearbook staff, taught by Miss Wood. This class challenged students to create and publish a yearbook. If good enough the yearbook was sent to competition where it recently won awards. The English electives gave students a chance to compete with each other while creating and exposing ideas of their own. So, if one looked close enough one could see that English was constructive while being competitive at the same time. —Brandt Haney English TICKETS.

A SENSE OF HERITAGE History Students often asked what was the pur- pose of History. History teachers quickly defended their courses. History supplied students with a sense of pride and heri- tage. Plus, history provided ideas and so- lutions and related problems to the pre- sent. History supplied a base of knowledge and inspiration to help society advance in technology. It often kept one from making simple or drastic mistakes that had been made in the past. Teachers that taught Social Studies were Kathi Wood. Fay Carroll, James Dekle. Hugh Golson. Annette Mitchell. Josh Harris, and Franklin Butler. Social Studies Classes kept students in touch with the world’s past, while keeping students in pace with the present. —Diatri Lockhart SNARL: This expression on U.S. History teacher Hugh Golson's face says that he accepts no monkey busi- ness in his class. CAUGHT IN THE ACT: Mr. Butler and Mrs. Mitchell take a break from class to have a little conversation. NEVER ENDING QUESTIONS. Mr. Harris gladly an- swers questions but realizes that this will not be the last. I 36 ACADEMICS
