Coming from the School of Science, which I attended from the sixth grade to the ninth. I was kind of out of touch with the extra-curricular activities of a regular public school, l or instance, where I was going before, we didn't have a football team for me to be on. basket- ball or baseball team. The ethnic background at the School of Science was mostly white, while John Hay is mostly black. Since I have come to John Hay in the tenth grade. I have enjoyed myself more than any other school I have ever attended. JAMES MILLER 33 SENIOR BABY PICTURES Andre and Antoine Odom Vonsaillc Prude Lennelle Johnson Robert Coleman Just the two of us.

I would have continued to play, but I started working. I think that my education is very important. I have learned enough to enlist in the Navy once I finish school. I have learned enough that will help me in the future. I feel like I was put on this earth to make the best of my life that I can. I have learned that there is no limit to what I can do. It's all up to me. All of my high school years have been fun and have gone very fast. I was born in Dayton. Ohio. I plan to make the best out of my life and the different situations that arc ahead of me. I want to be remembered as a person who tried to do the best in whatever he did or attempted. I also want to be remembered as a well-dressed, very educated and kind person. CHARLES JACKSON 53 Football Team helped lead Pep Rally.

I will always remember the fun times I've had with my friends like Brenda Harris, Shamcl Price. Ta-shonda Hill. Vonsaillc Prude and Ancssia Watkins. 1 want to be remembered as a fun person to be with. Jean Price Education is one of the most important things to me because it's a headstart in life. John Hay has given me the strength to want to finish school. Without the teachers here, some students like myself would have already dropped out. I think without education nobody would be making it through life easily. Also knowing education is free, I think everyone should take the advantages of it.

Whenever we as students have any problems, we can go and talk to our principal and teachers for help and comfort. Best of all. w hile going to school being attentive and diligent. I learned how to fix cars, type and be creative in using my hands, mind and words. COLBERT DAVIS In the three years I have attended John Hay High School, my Senior year is by far the greatest of them all. In my Sophomore and Junior years. I was inactive in any kind of sports, clubs or any activities at all. In my Senior year though. I am on the newspaper staff, and I am going to play baseball. My only regret is that I did not start participating in any activities when I first came to John Hay. I would never want to go back though. I do not think I could ever make it through those past years again. DAVID NEWBERGER Yearbook Staff members on the job Ayesha Taylor. Latasha Holt. Hazel Farnbro. I odis Mitchell.

MC COLLUM BLACK HISTORY PROGRAM 1y first time being involved with John Hay was the summer before attending when I tried out for the football team. I went to practice for two weeks then quit. It's something I may regret for the rest of my life. I really wanted to play, but I got caught up in thinking that playing football would make it easier to make friends, and maybe I would be able to find a nice girlfriend and gain the over-all fame from it all. I wanted to be a superstar. I could have been but I never put forth the effort. One thing I learned from that is in this world you get nothing for doing nothing.
