Jjflllll ' • ' • -gtfeb. ' ■%.v., ' 1 | 1965 % 2 3 Little does a person know of what lies hidden in the depths of the future; little does the high school student understand what will face him after graduation. At Luther Jackson, each student is given many opportuni¬ ties to inform himself of his duties as an individual and to prepare himself for what will be demanded of him as a mature adult. During the last years of his high school career, the student is guided by the valuable experience of his teachers and also by their knowledge. He is of¬ fered the benefits of the diversified courses and modern facilities in the school. The search for happiness is equally as important as the quest for knowledge. Therefore, life at Luther Jack- son is accented by an endless whirl of gay activities and happy times. Toward the end of the last year, the se¬ niors gather at a ball in their honor. Soon afterwards, while the music of the band is still fresh in their mem¬ ories, they hear another song, their alma mater being sung for the last time as they receive their diplomas. At this point their training is over, and they are ready to travel the road of life . The knowledge which they have gained at Luther Jackson will give them confidence to face the responsibilities of the future; it will give them a strong, stable foundation on which to build their lives. 4 Gfasses .

Williams, and his two assistants-Mr. R. A. Tate, Assistant Principal, and Mr. James Gaskins, Assistant Principal for Instruction. The Principal is in direct control of the program of the school and is responsible to the superintendent. Instruction, in-service training, supervision of instruction, special or extra-curricular activities, cus- 12 todian and maintenance work, building and equi- ment care, use of school by school and non-school groups, business and accounting, provision for sup¬ plies, discipline of pupils and the entire field of public relations are among the many responsibil¬ ities of the principal. In spite of all the busy administrative sched¬ ule, the Administration finds time and seems to enjoy working with students on special projects.

Hammond, B.A., M.A. Director of Guidance 5 uidance cS ervices The student’s ability to learn depends on his adjust¬ ment to school and society, and his general physical and mental well being. The student who has the best oppor¬ tunity for learning, is one who is provided with more than textbooks and teachers. Guidance is the non-instructional school service which helps the student solve problems and assists him in making good educational and vocational choices. In addition, the Guidance Department offers the student an opportunity to direct himself realistically and to under¬ stand himself in relation to the obligations and require¬ ments of a democratic society. Mrs. Tempie Vest, B.A., M.A. Counselor The Visiting Teacher is involved in the prevention and solution of problems of maladjustment affecting children ' s progress in school, such as, irregular attend¬ ance, poor health, and irregular or abnormal home and family situations.

With this idea in mind, the Reading Teacher gives special help to students in or¬ der that they may better understand and interpret what they read. Grouping students according to their reading levels is among the many techniques used by the Reading Teacher which enables her to meet certain specific student needs.

The curriculum places the proper amount of stress on developing (1) understanding, accuracy and facility in the fundamental pro¬ cesses of computation, (2) ability to use the problem solving method in all situations and (3) an understanding of the nature and structure of mathematics so that students can apply it to entirely new areas. The curriculum in eludes concepts and processes of modern mathematics upon which technical and scientific progress depends. Pro visions are made for students to develop skill and ability in the mathematics areas of postulation, reasoning (as used in both Algebra and Geometry), graphing representations of statistical data and mathematical expressions, inferential statistics, and scientific thinking.

During the required three years, stu¬ dents develop skills in shampooing, hair styling, manicuring, permanent waving, hair-cutting, hair coloring, scalp and facial treatments. The theory is closely correlated with the practical work. Upon completion of the course, each student will receive a Vocational Certificate that will qualify him to take the state board examination.

Industrial Arts The Industrial Arts Program at Luther Jackson concerns itself with those phases ohgeneral education which deal with industry, its organization materials, occupations, pro¬ cesses and products, and with the problems resulting from the industrial and technological nature of society. Mr. Adolphus Coward, B.S. Repair and Maintenance Jllain ten a nee ancf CRepatr This course provides for instruction in those areas not repre¬ sented in the other offerings in our vocational program. It also provides an opportunity for students to become thoroughly famil¬ iar with the many phases of building and equipment maintenance and repair. Students may specialize in one of the many areas offered as well as becoming familiar with all aspects of mainte¬ nance and repair. Instruction is given in all areas of welding; this includes electric arc welding, oxyacetylene, and Tungsten inert gas weld¬ ing. An area is provided for instruction in the maintenance and repair of small gasoline engines. Also included are auto-body repair, plumbing and electrical appliance repair. Saw sharpen¬ ing equipment is also provided so that students may become ac¬ quainted with this area of maintenance. Instruction is also given on all wood working and metal working machines. Industrial Cooperative Training is a form of Cooperative part-time education designed to provide vocational industrial training opportunities for high school juniors and seniors. It Is a cooperative enterprise between business and industrial establishments furnishing part-time employment and training to students during school hours. T rou § this employment the student learns the manipulative part of his job under actual working conditions. At the same time the school furnishes the technical subject material related to the job being performed. The 64-65 school year I.C.T. program involves fourteen different occupations. Mrs. Dorothy Hall, B.S., M.S., Homemaking Miss Betty Boone Student Teacher Food Preparation, provides learning experiences in menu planning, cooking, serving, wise shopping, and table etiquette. Emphasis is placed on skills and techniques in planning, preparing, and serving at¬ tractive, nutritious meals. Satisfactory home and family living depends upon the attitudes of the family members and their willingness to plan and work together. Instruction in Hom e Economics contributes to personal and family liv¬ ing, and emphasizes what can be done by using personal and other re¬ sources in securing and maintaining good home and family living. The training provided in this work strengthens the home as an agency in the education of the young, in building character, in maintaining physical, mental and emotional health, and in providing civic, aes¬ thetic and spiritual training.

The health and physical education program is very important in any high school. The students performance in class, study, and physical activity may be due in large part to his physical, emotional, and mental fitness. The school health service tries to find pupils who need care and explain their need to the parents. Parents are then urged to seek the needed medical care from their physician.

The primary goal is to help the individual realize whatever potential he possesses. Practical experiences are provided for the class which may be of use in his occupational career. In physical education the student learns the impor¬ tance of team work and new skills which lead to coop¬ eration. In homemaking the student learns an appreciation for home, and the cultivation of skills necessary for successful homemaking. 5C3 3 Mr. Thomas Bowser, B.S.

A TEACHER ' S CREED by Edwin Osgood Grover I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great tomorrow; that whatso¬ ever the boy soweth the man shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance; in the efficiency of schools; in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of the printed book; in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example; in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head; in everything that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life, and out-of-doors. I believe in laughter; in love; in faith; in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. I believe that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and its opportunities; in the future and its promises; and in the divine joy of living.

Because many jobs, especially housekeeping, have been made easier by machinery, family members have become more occupied with activities away from home. In modern living some of the traditional skills are no longer import¬ ant, but the need is greater than ever for establishing values and goals. The NHA Club, consists of young people on the thres¬ hold of adult living who are faced with decisions and re¬ sponsibilities that require mature and independent thought. The club gives young girls a better perspective of life. It broadens their knowledge of family life and insures a happier home.

Little do they know or realize that the happiest moments of their lives are spent in high school and with every new experience they become better prepared for adult life. Youth is the greatest asset of our country and may there always be someone who cares enough to assist in challenging this mass of energy toward a worthwhile and wholesome life. May I leave a most appropriate thought to the departing class through this poem by Ellen Irvin-Lessons to Learn. There are many lessons we might learn A long the ways of life,. That lead to happiness and thus Avoid the way of strife. Learn to speak kindly for all know What grievous words will do. Live peaceably with all mankind As far as lieth in you. When you feel sad and somewhat blue, Pretend that you feel fine. Soon you ' ll be smiling, I am sure, So why should you repine? Yes, learn to laugh ' tis better far Than medicine ’tis known. Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone. If you have been wronged by some one, Don ' t be cast down and fret, ' Twill rob the mind of peace and rest, Just forgive and forget. So as you journey on your way, Be hopeful--not distressed.

It was able to capture the Dis¬ trict Title with considerable ease. After beating their arch rival, Parker-Gray, 13-0, it was easy sailing for the hard¬ hitting eleven. But as in the spirit of the L.J. Tigers, why be satisfied with District when you could also have state? So on went the team to higher dreams than were ever expected. Due to a new rating system not previously used for high schools, Luther Jackson had to settle for the title of State co-champions. But while the team itself was achieving such high goals, individual team members were making a name for themselves. Mike Deskins, Earl Marshall, Walter Hawkins, and Clarence Bush, all juniors, were being named to the All-Metropolitan Squad. Due to a change in Fairfax County Schools, players will all go their separate ways. We hate to lose our team but Luther Jackson fans and members wish them well. Bitter is the lost of our team; sweeter the taste of Vic¬ tory”. Luther Jackson thanks you for sending us out in style. 1965 mm Ralph Douglas - Tackle Eugene Jones - Center Thomas Smith - End John Williams - Halfback Webster Bellfield - Quarterback Uarsitu Gfuo In the above picture, members of the Varsity Club and sponsor Mr. Skinner are enjoying the Fall weather.

Two groups were chosen, the first consisting of two seniors, one junior and one sopho¬ more. They were Laura Riley, Floyd Parks, Ronald Martin and Peggy Fairfax, respectively. The second consisting of three juniors and two sophomores. They were Janelle Brown, Cecil Bolling, Carolyn Hargrove, Charles Williams and Toni Duvall. The first group had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Robert Weaver, Administrator of Housing and Home Financing Agency and Representative Emmanuel Celler, (D) New York.

This is especially true this year because all of us have come to a Mile Stone in our lives, this being the terminal year of our high school. I do hope, however, that your association with us has, challenged, motivated, stimulated, and encouraged you to put forth your very best efforst to¬ ward achieving worthy goals. I envision, that some day you and other youth like you will be succeeding in all gainful occupations. May I caution you that you must continue to improve yourselves intellectually but as you seek this im¬ provement, do not forget yo ur spiritual development. It is my sincere desire that your fondest dreams will come true and that God will shower His belssings upon you. Sincerely, One of the greatest challenges for survival in any society is the edu¬ cation of its children to meet the unknown problems of the future. Education is the bridge that connects the past with the present. Edu¬ cation is the bridge that permits children to solve the unknown pro¬ blems the future holds for them. The rewards in teaching are most often those intangibles which give guidance and direction to the lives of students we touch in our daily routine. It is most gratifying to hear these youngsters, after they mature, recount the ideals we attempt to install in them. To say farewell to the known in order to explore the unknown is always fraught with peril. Certainly, this is life. Ml Principal ' s PICessaae I was honored to congratulate the first graduating class in 1955 and now I have the priviledge and honor of congratulating the last graduating class from Luther Jackson High School. The years we have spent together have been filled with eminent moments and memorable events. You have played a prominent part in the progress of your alma mater and for this you should be proud. Now as you leave and go on to further endeavors, I hope that you will continue to grow in experience, appreciation, and perception. I am not only proud of the accomplishments you have made but also the efforts on the part of your parents and your teachers. M2 143
