All those shined shoes and glittering buttons are the result of hours of polishing in prepara- tion for inspection on Monday. KTO the rightj Company D is being in- spected by Van Green- wood and Kenny Priaulx. One by one the boys are eliminated until finally one officer and one cadet are left. At the end of the day there are eleven who have been rewarded for their efforts by being chosen orderly. At the library we of Miss Robinson's senior English class find, during class-time, a wonderful opportunity to do research on our term papers. Preparing a biblio- graphy, gleaning from many books facts pertinent to our subjects, and trying to form original ideas supply us with gigantic tasks. The library provides us with all our needs in solving our problems. In the quiet of this Sanctum, we often ac- complish rnore than we would otherwise. ,DN page nine

Our school elections were more exciting this year than they have been for many years. The halls were plastered with post- ers, signs and banners. Campaign slogans ap- peared in every room. In- genuity and originality were displayed at every turn. In the picture at the left, Mary, Evelyn Jo, LaVerne, and Mary Ann are studying the posters on the bulletin board in the front hall. It's Spyglass time again. On Thursdays after school everyone hurries to the front door to buy a Spyglass. We never know what it will be like-for each edition is dif- ferent. The Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine issues were extra large-six pages instead of four. These issues and the St. Patrick paper were printed in their respective holiday colors. And that April Fool's Day issue with those up-side-down columns! . . . The initiative of the Spyglass staff has produced colorful, newsy, and educational newspapers. page eight

Betty and David lead the cheerleaders in a yell during the Thanksgiving pep assembly. Our big- gest football game of the season was anticipated with this clever assembly about Three Magic Words -words to beat Springfield. The spirit and enthusiasm shown in our pep assemblies were truly inspirational, thus spurring our Eagles on to victory. Mr. Deatherage nods, and the seniors, dignified and proud, parade from assembly. This is one of the time-honored customs of JHS. The seniors leave-one row to the center, the next to the side-while the juniors and sophomores Wait impatiently for their signal to leave. Then it is one mad dash in the direction of the cafeteria for lunch. Wilma, Richard, Mari- lyn, and Carter are a few of the first to leave, While Mary, Barry, Mary Sue, and Sara sit awaiting Mr. Deathe1'age's nod for the juniors to escape. .iq ' ag 5.
