Round tables, square tables, blue, green, yellow, and orange tables with matching chairs helped add brightness to the decor of the cafetorium. This multi-level cafetorium with stage was where the students ate and talked with their friends. Four lunch periods a day, there was a mad rush to get in the lunch line. These lunch periods lasted a half an hour each, and there were about 250 students per period. At the beginning of the year, the students got to go into the gym after they finished eating. They were allowed to play basketball and volleyball. This recreation time was halted because the students were roudy and too hard to control. Greg Englehart, Ron Harness, Craig Stace, and Mike Mooney eat lunch during fourth module.

The class wrapped 20 newspapers in one package. The rest were wrapped in 4 packages each with the same number of newspapers. How many were in each of these packages? Story problems similar to this one were problems some eighth graders struggled with during math class. Measurement, number theory, and basic geometry were also taught. Social studies was, in some classes, mostly current events. One of Mr. Windle ' s classes put on a play. It was mainly put together by Corey Johnson and Rae Black. It was about the Bill of Rights. Corey said, The reason that we put on the play was so people will know their rights. New lab equipment and new tables made the science work more interesting. ISCS was an independent, work-at-your-own-pace science program. This science program had new, easier books. Eighth grade English classes were taught by every English teacher at Jones. Mrs. Lentz had her first eighth grade class this year. Because of the different teachers and styles, the students were taught differently. Focus and Thunderbolts were the reading books used by eighth graders. The teachers taught subjects like, grammar, composition, journalism, spelling, and poetry. They also worked in the library doing things like learning how to use the Reader ' s Guide. Students were also required to take music, art, physical education, and health. They had an option to take either industrial arts or home economics. All of these subjects prepared the students for their last year as eighth graders and their first year as freshmen.
