People A potpourri of people, places and things. Jenkintown, the school district as well as the community, is as diverse as it is unified. The mixture of students and surround- ings forms our exclusive world. As we look around and take note of the many different lifestyles, the variety of places in our com- munity and, in general, the vast range of things in our uniquely small community, we realize that our tiny size does not limit our experiences. Individuals with spe- cial talents, interests and person- alities combine to form a multi- facted yet unified group. There is a tremendous amount packed into Jenkintown's one- half square mile. Among its di- verse population of almost 5,000 residents nearly 531 attend Jen- kintown's public school system, and 283 of the 531 attend our junior f senior high school. High school students comprise merely one facet of our communi- ty. There are so many other areas which compose our environment. Places and Things Our community, similarly, is merely one of the many aspects that make up our world. All of these assorted phases that form the community, and add to our lives as students, further affirm that we are one large potpourri. The community and students ulti- mately revolve around each oth- er. Each depends on the other, each exists because of the other's presence. Our diverse mixture of parents, students and community blend to create an atmosphere which is the essence of Jenkin- town. Our potpourri is our dis- tinct characteristic, it is what makes us special. As you read through the pages of the 1985 Jenkintonian, you may notice that there is more to life as a Jenkintown student than homework, books and teachers. Don't underestimate our small town and school. There is much more than meets the eye. Now discover for yourself this pot- pourri of people, places and things.
