 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.

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.

CAFETERIA CHAOS $ Air Conditioning! Food Fights! Lunch Line Stampedes! All this adds up to cafete- ria chaos. Aside from all that, it’s a com- fortable place to meet you friends and get something to eat, whether it be “brown- bagging” it from home, or fighting your way through the human chain that makes up the infamous lunch line! Finally, after what seems like hours of standing in one place, you reach the end of the line, get your lunch, sit down and eat. It may not seem like much, but eating something at lunch time can make your class time a lot less distracting with the absence of stomach growls and famished sighs. We have an entire lunch room staff, led by Ms. Dorothy Kaigler, to thank for all this. Each day these responsible, hard- working individuals prepare over 1,000 meals. Amidst the cafeteria chaos, the lunch room staff performed their duties with savage grace! Wes Daniel 1. Showing off some of the days food is Elmer Garden. 2.
