Nethery, sometimes called an “airplane enthusiast”, recently was promoted to Lt. Col. in the Army Air Force Re- serves.

Foreword Molly Murr—Nancy McMillan—Martha Ferguson We, the members of the annual staff, publish the 1970 Golden Eagle to relate, in picture and copy form, some of the outstanding and interesting events of the school year. JHS cannot be described in a single word except—VARIETY. Both the big and little fit together to fill the year. New and old faces, locker doors, teachers, homework, western dances, mid-term tests, ban- quets, athletic tournaments, the Student Council, English novels, hayrides and picnics, old jokes, tears, chalky blackboards, organization meetings, and the flagpole are among the traditional things that rep- resent our school. Students laugh through the easy times and struggle through the hard times. There was the pain of defeat and the thrill of victory. In all the phases of the scholastic and extracurricular activities, this is our school. Sincerely, Molly Murr, Editor Nancy McMillan, Associate Ed. Martha Ferguson, Business Mgr.
