s A school building ablaze with lights! That is the view of Jennings High School as one comes down the hill from Hord Avenue on Clifton. What better illustrates the never-ending service of the public school to its com- munity--night and day, year after year? u Perhaps there is a basketball game going on--or just practice--an intramural program, Parent Night, the class play, a concert, adult education, the Christmas Program, a party, or a dancer all these are forms of educational service, entertainment, or wholesome recreation provided for those who might otherwise have none. Thus as the school -lights in a darkened community, represent services from which fresh young minds receive inspiration and intelligence, so may that school's boys and girls attack the problems of a jaded world in such a way that, like a glow from a flaming torch, enlightenment spreads wherever our graduates go! V In the pages of this book, we have endeavored to show one year's experiences in the lives of the boys and girls who attend our school. a t Q tf t 's . u ' xi ' tk. l 3 lllll a I it Illia '- 3 5.
