ln many ways the Jr. High is just a miniature copy of the Sr. High. They have their own Honor Society to ac- knowledge the academically talentedg they have their own Student Council which sponsored dances and a Christ- mas party. The Jr. High cheerleaders kept the tradition of 7:15 a.m. prac- tices alive. Dressed in uniforms pre- viously worn by the Varsity, the girls were always raising spirits as they cheered the boys on. The Jr. High, with their many activities, kept busy this year knowing that some day, in the near future, they would compose their own, individual Jenkintown Sr. High.
