Before School Girls with roller topped heads ran in from band practice just in time to get reody for class before the homeroom bell sounded. Some students looked anxiously to see if their English or Math teacher hod gotten to school; yet, secretly hoping they wouldn ' t come. However, all morning activities didn ' t take place inside Jordan. Cheerleaders led the Pep Club in cheers to help promote spirit for the night ' s gome. Band members worked diligently in the misting rain to per- fect the half- time show. Still other students collected around the smoking pit, getting that one last drag before homeroom. Typically, the mornings were jammed full of student-life business — both socially and academically. 12

Piped-in music, pastel, gay colors, and new modern facilities were all a part of MJ ' s new lunchroom. Whether the stu- dents came to eat or just to be a part of the excitement found in the hustle of the lunchroom, it served as a favorite meeting place. Many students found a source of relaxation during their assigned period and enjoyed the satisfying lunches sup- plied by the team of lunchroom workers. A Nice Place To Be , . . The Lunchroom 11

After School When the end-of-school bell rang at 3:00 p.m., everyone didn ' t go honne. For many students and faculty members there were after-school activities that would keep them working long after other people were home eating their afternoon snacks and watching T.V. The after-school curricu- lum included various organizations practic- ing to improve their skills and teachers striving to complete some extra work. Jordan was almost as busy after school OS it was during school because the stu- dents and faculty at MJ were involved in the school ' s action and growth. 13
