22 Let’s go, Big Blue On December 4, the new building was officially dedicated to the city and students of Richmond. Dr. Dixon and Mr. Wil- lett, along with members of the school board and faculty, were present to take part in the ceremony. The cadet corps, choir, and orchestra were also present to help make this occasion enjoyable as well as memorable. The winter cadet hop was held in the armory on December 17. The cadets, who had worked hard on preparations for the dance, were proud of a job well done. The decorations were beautiful and the couples in the figure presented it with perfec- tion. After the holidays, we returned to school to find the Language Laboratory ready for use. Mr. James Harwood had spent many hours preparing and planning the completion of the lab and his efforts were not wasted. A move to beautify the school’s property was also started in January. Trees of many types, shrubs and small hedges were planted in various places, making the grounds look more like « Could they have danced all night? a campus. The plants added to the school’s appearance and gave the building a more “‘lived-in” look. Saturday, January 28, found the armory a place of great in- terest and excitement. The semi-annual competitive drill was being held and everyone was rooting for his favorite company. B Company won, C Company placed second and A Company ran a Close third. The Central District Basketball Tournament was held in February and the Jayem basketball team made a good showing. At Eastertime, we went to our last Jr.-Sr. prom. The dance was held in the new cafeteria, and two bands played two types of music for the enjoyment of the people attending. As the term quickly passed, we found it hard to realize that our school days were ending. Final preparations for graduation, cramming for exams, exchanging calling cards, signing annuals and making summer vacation plans filled the last few weeks for seniors. Then came June 10, the big day for graduation, thus ending J.M. history for the 1961 graduates. “Strike up the band!” Pronounce that again, Mr. Yacenko. The great campaign
