NEXT IN LINE 0 Without the help of our two assistant princi- pals, Ms. Dorinda Duggan and Mr. Charles Holmes, Jenkins High School would have crum- bled by now. These two administrators both worked their way to their current positions after many years in the Savannah-Chatham County School System as teachers. Hence, it is easy to understand why they responded so well to the needs of the teachers and students. They shared their knowledge from their past experience so that Jenkins was as smoothly run and well orga- nized as its strong reputation proclaims it to be. Ms. Duggan finished her third year here as the assistant principal in charge of the attendance office, textbooks, and field trips. The eleventh and twelfth grade classes were her responsibility in regard to student discipline. Mr. Holmes, on the other hand, began his first administrative position here with responsibility over the lower grades. In addition, he supervised the cafeteria, bus transportation, and club activi- ties. Although required to attend all school spon- 1.

PRI CIP PR C ? PR CIP FIRST IN THE RACE Principal. When speaking of education, the word suggests an icon of sorts. The title of Principal is the top of the educational staff as far as school is concerned. A princi- pal should possess the qualities of logic, dis- cipline, fairness, and above all, leadership abilities. Few schools are privileged enough to be represented by such a person. Here at Jenkins, we’re proud to say we have all this and more in our principal, Donald E. Stew- art. Mr. Stewart is a man who is incredibly dedicated to his job. He is more often seen on campus than sitting idle in his office. Mr. Stewart has been at Jenkins for a num- ber of years, and was quoted as saying this has been the best year spirit-wise, as well as behavior wise, that he has seen thus far here at Jenkins. That makes the class of ’88 feel extremely proud, as well as the entire stu- dent body. We only hope it will get better. As the graduating class bids Mr. Stewart our final farewell, we’re left only to say it’s been a pleasure. Wes Daniel 1. Principal Donald Stewart intensely studies another important memo. 2.

 UNSUNG HEROES Have you ever pondered the fate of all the unwanted debris you’ve scattered over the hal- lowed halls and classrooms of H.V.J.? Or what about the vast array of colored bubble gum you’ve so artistically stuck under desk tops over your high school years? You know it was there just the other day? Either it ended up on the knee of some angry students levi’s or one of our custo- dians got to it before the angry student got to you. Our custodial staff, led by Mr. Bynes, had a tough job ahead of then every day of the school week. Having to face the discarded trash of stu- dents daily is no easy task.Jenkins should feel lucky to have such a consistently loyal group of workers to undertake such a difficult responsibil- ity. So, whenever you throw paper on the floor re- member there was always someone from our cus- todial staff right behind you to pick it up. Our custodians performed their duties with little or no praise, which goes to prove they really are unsung heroes. Wes Daniel 1.
