People on Campus They make up five sixths of Jenkintown High Schoolg they are the action, the doers, the ener- gy: they are the underclassmen. Each, as an individual, has his own personality and interests, and traits. Yet, when combined, they are grades seven through eleven - the student body. Pa- tiently waiting for their turn on top las seniorsl, they pass through the years, accumulating memories. Every grade has its own traditions and requirements but it is the students, as indi- viduals, who make each year a bit differentg they supply the unexpected, the excitement. Keeping the faculty on its toes and the cafeteria and school store in business are only two of the underclassmen's responsibilities. They are often plagued with such worries as how to memorize sentence patterns A through R, what topic to write a term paper on, and, at the same time, how to juggle their social lives - such is the life of a JHS underclassman. There are ups and downs, smiles and frowns as the students make their somewhat difficult yet mandatory transi- tion through the high school years. Peoplefllnderclassmen 41

Next in Line THE JAIVIMIN' JUNIORS were psyching them- selves for their final year at JI-IS. But that final year was still next year, an eternity away. Anyway, this year had been its own main act, not just the forget- table opening group that leaves a mild headache and no good memories. Well, we had good memories, many of them re- calling the school year's thirty-six weekends and the obligatory parties. The exhaustion-and-dissipa tion index suggested there were many of these parties, but no one knows exactly how many. About the only absolutely clear memory now is the secret exit line: See ya! We're motoring to Sal's. Their pizza's the jauntl After these weekend ordeals, Monday brought a time for repentance and scholarship. This serious- ness meant PSAT,s, merit scholarships, and the first furtive glances at colleges and careers. Our most popular classes put us before typewriters iTyping I and Ill, sewing machines fl-lome Econom- icsl, and rat mazes lPsychologyl. Required courses forced our imaginations into the melting pot lAmeri- can Cultures Il, and into colonial dresses with red monograms lEnglish Illl. And Honors English - well, that put our minds in some strange places we both loved and hated as the moon dictated. As for other memories - clubs, sports, activities - we had them too. As we said, this year was its own main attraction.
