So ESRES -yer remeleer oes mibame (Clists tiers ie “Round and around” Returning to school in September was exciting, and students from the old Jayem had little time for sadness because there were new teachers to meet and many new classes to attend. One of these was a special astronomy class taught by Miss Webb for students interested in the study of stars. Mr. Wiltshire also held a special French class for students who had begun learning the French language before coming to high school. To eliminate the use of daily notices for announcements, a public address system was installed throughout the building. Each morning, a member of the student body would announce the day’s activities and inform us of coming events. Each day at lunch, music was piped over the P.A. in the cafeteria and everyone enjoyed the popular tunes of Gershwin and Rodgers and Hammerstein. The teaching facilities were new and ultra-modern. Light- weight desks and comfortable chairs were installed in each room. The walls were painted in pastels which added a springlike atmosphere to each room. With the opening of school came football season. New cheers were introduced at the pep rallies by the new varsity and J.V. Off to the races One plus three cheerleaders. October 29 was Sponsor's Day which was held on the black- top. The captains and companies honored their sponsors and decorated them with ribbons in each company’s colors. Peggy Richards was crowned Miss Justice and, with her court, was presented to both schools at our annual T.J. game. A familiar sight came to old Jayem students when the sundial was brought to the courtyard from the other building. Tradition surrounds this old sundial that we know so well, and we welcomed its presence at the new location. A problem for all of us seemed to be the lockers which lined the walls. This was the first time Jayem students had been assigned individual lockers. We were anxious to use them, but getting them open was another thing. The combinations seemed to be so intricate that we couldn’t get them to work. We were in a proverbial uproar, because if we were lucky enough to open it in the morning, we couldn’t quite manage it in the afternoon, and thus many of us went home without coats. Finally, we mastered the tricks and everything was back to normal. “Leave it to Beaver’ 21
