LOOKING BACK OVER OUR FOUR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE CAN RECALL MANY MOMENTOUS CHANGES IN OUR LIVES EACH YEAR: OUR TEACHERS, OUR SCHOOL, OUR INTERESTS, OUR ACTIVITIES, OUR ATTITUDES --- ALL HAVE CHANGED. WE ALSO HAVE LEARNED VALUES THAT DO NOT CHANGE OVER THE YEARS --- KNOWLEDGE, MORALS, AND DEEP FRIENDS HIPS. DAYS AT LUTHER JACKSON ARE NUMBERED --- BOTH FOR THOSE WHO SOUGHT AND FOUND AND FOR THOSE WHOSE QUEST IS YET UNSATISFIED. CHERISHED THOUGHTS ARE MANY AS WE RECALL OUR REWARDS FOR WORK WELL DONE, OUR ENTHUSIASM FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, AND OUR GOAL FOR GRADUATION. EACH DAY BRINGS ANOTHER CHALLENGE, ANOTHER TRIAL, OR AN ATTAINMENT. THIS, THEN, IS THE STORY OF OUR DAYS AT LUTHER JACKSON IN THIS SCHOOL YEAR 1963-1964. 2 Contents PAGE Administration, Faculty Staff . 6 Seniors . 29 Underclassmen . 41 Intermediates .. 57 Organizations . 69 Athletics . 83 Patrons Ads . 101 CAROLYN DEWITT IN MEMORIAM OH GOD, THE CREATOR AND REDEEMER OF ALL THE FAITHFUL, GRANT TO THE SOUL OF YOUR DEPARTED SERVANT FULL REMISSION OF ALL HER SINS, THAT, THROUGH OUR DEVOUT PRAYERS, SHE MAY OBTAIN THE PARDON, WHICH SHE DESIRED. 4 ADMINISTRATION FACULTY, and STAFF ' ' a Mr. T.

One of the major respon¬ sibilities of the counselor and teacher is to guide and stimulate the interest of the individual in all phases of the total learning activities so that his general and special capacities are developed. Guidance services assist pupils in achieving de¬ sirable goals by providing individual inventory, coun¬ seling placement and follow-up services. MRS. CLAUDIA C.

Biology stresses the ecological approach of learn¬ ing by doing. Biology not only grows but develops. There is accretion of new facts, discovery of new phenomena. But there is also something more. As new data are uncovered and new knowledge formed, the older body of knowledge is re-formed, reorganized to allow for the new and to put old and new into connection with one another. Miss Virginia Major, B.S. Science 21 Social Studies H. L. Lawson, B.S. M,S. History and Geography G. W. Felton, B.S. History and Government The social studies program helps students to acquire knowledge and skills essential for good citizen¬ ship, as well as attitudes which lead to sound democratic behavior. It seeks to develop in each student an appreciation of our American heritage. A balanced emphasis is placed on the common good and the individual good and on both the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Special Education 23 E. S. G. Program The schedule in the intermediate school makes provision for certain teachers to teach English, Social Studies and group guidance to the same pupils. The block of time for this instruction in the seventh grade is equivalent to tw o and one-half regular class periods. At the eighth grade level, the block of time is two periods each day. The teacher, in approaching and extending this subject matter, uses procedures and content related to guidance. MRS. EMMA MOORE, B.S., M.S. MRS. ROSALIE GRIFFIN, B.S. i MRS, LOLA LeCOUNTE, B.A. This guidance is accomplished through conferences and units of study which help the individual gain the knowledge he needs about himself, other persons, the school, education and the world of work. The program is strengthened through the help of the guidance director and other specialized counselors. Mr. Adolphus Coward, B.S. Repair and Maintenance Mrs. Sadie H. Harris, B.S.

In putting together a publication, such as the Tiger, the sponsors often find it necessary to call on many people at random for help in administration, layout, photographic problems, etc. To these persons who have contributed toward the pub¬ lication of this annual in any way, we extend our sincere thanks. Although it is difficult to assign credit to all the deserving souls who have given their time and effort toward this production, it is still harder not to mention the few individuals who have contributed so greatly. Therefore, we would like to express our gratitude to Mr. James Powell for his photographic and administrative work in connection with the publication of this annual and to Mr. Eugene Skinner for the use of scientific equipment in the development of our photographs.
