ALL WASHED UP In-House Remember those days when all one wanted to do was to get away from the hastle of school work and teachers. While some students toughed it out until the weekend, others took the easi- er way out. As the students backed out of the driveway to go to school, some chose to drive on by the school and keep on going to the strand. Yes it was true, some students actually skipped school to go to the beach. While at the beach the students thought nothing of the crime they they had committed. They were only glad to be out swimming in the surf or soaking up the sun. The day was fun until the students returned to school without an excused absence and they were turned in for skipping. Then they had to face Coach Larry Burke and the infamous In- House. What! In-House! This was the price one paid for trying to obtain a lit- tle relief from the pressures of school. In-House suspension was created to punish students, while keeping them in school. Some students made it past In- House, while others got washed up. Brandt Haney 5. Planning his day.

THE SHADOW KNOWS Assistant Principal As the final bell rang for students to be in class, the wave of students emptied the halls, and those that were late tried to slide into class. But wait, whats that? A dark shadow lurking around the corner. Could it be a tardy student, or a teacher on break? This was what ran through the head of tardy student. It was neither a student or a teacher, but the assistant principal trying to catch students skipping class. Catching students skipping class was only one of a flood of jobs the assistant principals had to per- form. Some of the other tasks included disciplining stu- dents, and keeping the student body in order, which was a difficult job in itself. They also had to look after school when the principal, Mr. Donald Stewart, was away. Who were these mysterious shadows? Assistant princi- pal, Ms. Dorinda Duggan, and acting assistant principals Mr. Larry Burke, and Ms. Jeri Williams were the coura- geous warriors who fought their way through each hectic school day. So if we ever felt as if we were in the ocean being stalked by a shark, we better have a good excuse for being late, because we might be surprised to find that the shadow knows. Brandt Haney 7.

A PORT IN THE STORM Counselors As one walked into head counselor Mark Smith's office, the first thing one noticed was his exceptionally neat desk. This year marked Mr. Smith's sixth year as eleventh and twelfth grade counselor at Jenkins. Being an upperclass- man counselor meant administering the Georgia Basic Skill's test, PSAT, SAT, and ASVAB test. To Mr. Mark Smith the best thing about Jenkins is the students. He even sounds like a neat guy. Our new addition to the Jenkin's counseling crew was ninth and tenth grade counselor, Mr. Ted Jackson. He spent his year much like the freshmen class trying to learn the ropes. His main concern was getting students to set present goals, so they could spend the following three years achieving them. The counselors spent much of their time keeping the students above water. Personal problems as well as aca- demic problems plagued the students. Often the counsel- ors were a port in the storms of teenage lives. As Mr. Jackson said counselors are people persons. Leah Wallace 14 ADMINISTRATION 7.
