For Seniors, it is the begin- ning of the end of a journey through 11 years of schooling — a journey thru Alabama history, binary num- bers, slimy worms, and exercise-sore muscles. The 7th grade students are at the beginning of their journey in high school. Their first experience at MJ is often filled with anxiety — where do I go next? where is Room 1? how do I get to the P.E. locker room? 20 minutes for lunch, is that all? Assembly programs with daily reminders, along with the student handbook help to get students back into the groove of school discipline. School buses loaded with bubbling students arrive just in time for roll call — and school begins. Seniors, jun- iors, sophomores, freshmen, eighth graders, and seventh graders alike — all participate in the dally routine of going to classes, eating in the lunchroom, attending sports events, and doing homework (or classwork). Special events for entertainment as well as cultural development are provided. The Up With People singing group gave an exciting musi- cal concert and Mrs. Kathryn Tucker Windham (author of THIRTEEN ALA- BAMA GHOSTS) thrilled the student body with her tales of ghostly things. There ' s never a dull moment at MJ — we ' re full of life for each month brings another event — football, Christmas, volleyball, basketball, ordering of caps and gowns, baseball, senior prom, graduation, and finally the last day of school — That ' s life at MJ! Another road ended! 62 -«f: .- Ai. n ) tt A-:,|irO ' -y.. -■• •i 63 Juniors Capture Homecoming Homecoming 1980 Version — brought to a climax a week long period of activity for building up spirit. Competi- tion among tfie classes for best spirit was nourished by overall day, tennis shoe and sock day, ribbon day, and blue-white day. The annual Homecoming Parade produced the evidences of a week of hard work as beautifully deco- rated floats and cars were judged in the competition. The energetic JUNIOR CLASS won the float competition and the car competition, taking grand honors. Honors Candidates for Princesses and Homecoming Queen were presented at halftime activities. Winners (selected by popular vote from each grade) were announced. The MJ Marching Band presented a spectacular pre-game show. Even the losing of the game could not mar the spirit and enthusiasm of this important day — Friday, October 10, 1980. Ready for the Homecoming Parade! Students at Bryan Elementary get into the spirit of Homecoming. Stars fell on Mortimer Jordan as the Homecoming Queen and her Princesses were announced. 64 AS TERRI SMITH BECOMES QUEEN The winning float came from the spirited junior class.

Lovely wahines (girls) adorned with the traditional leis began the exciting night with the Hawaiian wedding song. Competition in evening gown and sportswear gave the pageant that spe- cial touch of color as each of the 50 contestants for the cov- eted Miss TORCH title made her debut before a crowded gym. Preliminary judging included interviews privately and in groups during the day. Lunch in the Home Ec Department also gave the team of judges added incite for their final deci- sion. Judges were Mrs. Karen Allen of Elan Modeling Agency; Mr. Stephen Toney of Sears Roebuck in Vestavia, and Mrs. Sharon Wright from the Jefferson County Board of Educa- tion. Master of Ceremonies was Mr. Phillip Renda, Jr., former MJ Band Director. Escorting the contestants were Tommy Lawrence and Matt Rowell. It was a night filled with wonderful memories.

This is especially true during the MISS TORCH pageant. The reward for cheerfulness, friendli- ness, cooperation, and helpfulness during all pageant activities is to be voted on by the contestants themselves as Miss Congeniality. Fifty young ladies were eligible for the coveted title. We congratulate the 1981 Miss Congen- iality — Miss Dina Higginbotham 80 Band ' s Best Seniors Sue Ann Layne Displaying superior musicianship as well as leadership (which is so very important to every band program), this year ' s outstanding senior band members certainly deserve this honor. Sue Ann plays flute and piccolo and has been a member of the band for five years. She has been very active in all instrumental competitions from which she has received 7 superior rating medals. Competitions have included: solo and ensemble, All-County Band, and Sam- ford University ' s Honor Band. Sue Ann has also been con- Jeff Taylor cert mistress for the past 2 years in Symphonic Band and was a majorette for the 1980-81 season. Jeff Taylor plays tuba, trumpet, and baritone and has been a member of the band for 5 years. He has received honors and medals from solo and ensemble and All- County Band, has served on the band council for several years, and was voted as Band President for 1980-81 school year. We congratulate these two students for their excellence in music. 81 Valedictorians — Perfect Grades Sharon Bowers Having a perfect 4.0 (straight A ' s) average during high school is quite an accomplishment. Sharon not only makes excellent grades, she also involves herself in extra-curricu- lar activities: she is a majorette, a member of the Senior National Honor Society, Future Homemakers of America, and is the Business Manager Senior Editor for the TORCH. Her hobbies include hand crafts like embroidery and reading. She plans to attend DAB and major in medi- cine. Lori McCombs Also maintaining straight A ' s in high school, Lori has accomplished excellence. Involving herself in activities in the Future Business Leaders of America as she prepares for a job in the business world, she is the MJ representative for Sears Roebuck ' s Executive Women ' s Development Program. She is a member of the Senior Honor Society, Ushers Club, Key Club, and is on the TORCH staff. She plans to attend Jeff State Junior College. Her hobbies are swimming and sewing. 82 Salutatorians — Excellent Grades Trisha Gammon — Angie Vann Trisha and Angie have both maintained extremely high grade point aver- ages during their high school years. Trisha is a member of the Rifle Team for the band, serving as captain this year, won a place as finalist in the Miss TORCH pageant, and enjoys snow skiing. Angie is the 2nd Vice President for Student Council making her responsible for daily devotions for the student body; she is also Chaplain for the Senior Class, a membet; of the Key Club and Ushers Club. Both young ladies are members of the Senior Honor Society. 83 Angie and Jeff Receive Honors As From a group of over 190 seniors, Angie and Jeff were chosen by a faculty-student committee as tfie outstanding senior boy and girl who best exhibit the character, leadership, scholarship, service, and outstanding enthusiasm of Mortimer Jordan High School. Each of these students demonstrate those outstanding qualities which make them worthy of this title. Angie was voted on by her class as Who ' s Who — Best Per- sonality; she is the chaplain of the Senior Class as well as being 2nd vice president of the Student Council which gives her the privilege of having daily devotions for the Student Body. She is a member of the Ushers Club, Key Club, and Honor Society. Angie Vann ; 2 84 I Miss and Mr. Mortimer Jordan High Jeff is an extremely talented young man — playing the tuba in the MJ Band. He was voted as Band ' s Best Senior as well as being selected as Who ' s Who — Most Talented. He is president of the Senior Honor Society and of the Band. He maintains membership in the Math Club and Science Club as well as devoting time to helping in the library. Angle is from Castle Heights while Jeff is from the Bradford community. Both these students are in 1204 — Miss Johnson ' s homeroom. Jeff Taylor 85 J Senior Who ' s Who Being chosen by one ' s classmates as a favorite is one of the highest honors that can be given any student. Each year, the Senior Class chooses favorite class members for those qualities which are peculiar to certain people in eleven cate- gories. It is a difficult task to narrow their choices down to only two or three people in order to select just the right ones for each field. Voting is by popular vote — no one person may be chosen for more than one category. Votes are cast in each homeroom, and the winners are to be congratulated.

Jeff will com- pete with other seniors in the state for scholarships — selection will be based upon personal information such as service at school, home, church plus leisure activities and future educational plans plus the writing of an essay enti- tled Our American Heritage and My Responsibility To It. Jeff ' s selection as Optimist Club representative was by a faculty committee, based upon his being an outstanding citizen. Part of the honors include a tour of a local business or Industry and being guest at a luncheon. 1 J i M 90 Students Participate in Mock Government Because of this program (designed to educate high school students in the privileges and responsibilities of being an American citizen) Angie and David were able to actually participate in the functioning of the Government. These two were chosen by a faculty committee because of their service to the school, the responsibility they have shown, and the qualities that they possess which would give them special benefit from such an experience. The American Legion and Mortimer Jordan ' s J Club sponsor these two students to attend Girls ' State at Hun- tingdon College in Montgomery and Boys ' State at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Being a very active group, the cheerleaders plan pep rallies, paint and hang signs, sell tickets, and sell various spirit- boosting items. One of the highlights of the summer of hard worl is to attend National Cheerleading Camp at Auburn Univer- sity, w here they won 4 blue ribbons and 3 spirit sticks. They were also chosen as one of the top 5 squads out of the 79 that attended the camp. This is the best record achieved by any MJ cheerleader squad. They also entered the AHSAA State Competition held in Birming- ham. Sponsor of the cheerleaders, Mrs. Paulette Campbell, is pictured at the right as they demonstrated their abil- ity. ;;«c fefc ' Denean Rhoades Kelli Lawless Debbie Moore Karin Manley 128 Head: Allison Carlisle Seniors Lisa Sandlin Sandy Launius Daina Baird 129 Paper Staff An added attraction on the MJ cam- pus this year has been the addition of a paper. The first edition was distributed on Tuesday, November 25, 1980. The main purpose of the staff is to work as a team to produce a paper that will be interesting as well as informative. The membership is limited to 30 students who are selected from each grade by a committee — based on grades, dependability, leadership, and interest in producing a school paper.

Having the sole responsibility of producing a sum- mary of the school year ' s activities in pictures and words, this staff spends many hours on layouts, pictures, and writ- ing copy. They plan the schedule for taking senior por- traits, as well as regular schoolday pictures. Sponsoring the annual Miss Torch pageant is one of the most exciting events for which the staff makes plans. As the school year progresses, pictures for each type of activity are taken. Then comes the hard work of compiling those pictures into some order and completing a yearbook which will, hopefully, meet the approval of all persons who purchase one. Deadlines are met, and the yearbook is usu- ally delivered the last of April. Sponsor for the yearbook staff is Mrs. Faye Toney. Sharon Bowers is Business Manager. This group of 10 people work as a team in making a TORCH. 131 Kathye McCool Sponsor Junior Melinda Piper — Co-head Rita Chandler Mishelle Arnold Teresa Chandler 132 Cheerleaders The MJ Junior High Cheerleaders attended clinic for the first time this summer.

The mem- bership has grown to 29 in this, the second year. Invi- tation to interested students is based upon character, leadership ability and eagerness to serve the school and community. The Key Club is primarily a service organization which is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Magic City Kiwanis Club sponsors this group. Mr. Bob Clayton of the Magic City Kiwanians was instrumental in organ- izing this club and is still very active in supporting it. Mr. David Brown is the Kiwanian advisor. The Kiwanians and Key Clubbers work close ' y in projects. This Club works at the parking lot at Legion Field and receives a share of the receipts. A bass tournament each fall is supported by the club. The Kiwanians provide one third of the expenses for rep- resentatives to State and International Conventions. David McDonald and Richard Padgett attended Inter- national in San Diego last summer. The main project of this club is sponsoring a boy at Alabama Sheriffs ' Boys Ranch North in Danville. Ricky Chamblee is the 15-year old boy for which MJ Clubbers provide his clothing allowance for the year as well as birthday and Christmas presents. It is espe- cially rewarding and fun to visit Ricky during the year.

Through the various forms of expres- sion, students exhibit their artistic talents by drawing, paint- ing, sketching, etc. as they continue to develop their talents. Displays of such talent can be seen in Room 13, as well as on programs for assemblies. The Art Club is sponsored by Mrs. Sherrie Plyler, who teaches art and directs the students in their pursuit of artistic areas. Art Exhibits from MJ are sent to the Alabama State Fair.

The club participates in school concerts, community concerts, singing in local churches and at Senior Citizens ' Meetings. Some choir members have the opportunity to compete in Honor Chorus, All-State, District Solos, Ensembles and Choir. MJHS Singers have always received high ratings in district contests. For the past five years, the ratings have been excellent and superior — the highest possible. All interested students are encouraged to join the choir — it doesn ' t require that you have previous training or that you have a wonderful voice — all that is required is a willingness to learn. Talented pianists are also given opportunity to exhibit their knowledge of the piano as they become accompanists for the various choirs. Each year the combined choirs rehearse diligently for a Christmas concert and a Spring concert, which is held at night for the entire school community. Faculty director, Mrs. Maria Wilson, has done an outstand- ing job of leading this group toward appreciating good music. Mrs. Maria Wilson, Director Soy If with MJHS Singers provided entertainnnent for the Senior Beauty Pageant. 155 1st Row: Donna Logan, Vicki Stewart, Suzanne Swann, Tracy Smith, Pam Baggett, Stephanie Self, Rhonda McCombs, Janna Bar- rett, Julie Durbin, Martha Moore, Wendy Goodwin, Robin Willis, Rita Scott, Kelly Tyler, Michelle Ellison 2nd Row: Jill Jackson, Con- nie Freeman, Ginger Curry, Kelly Little, Terri Goodwin, Raymond Tyler, Frank Benoski, Evan Hart, Mike Whitaker, Mike Ward, Jed Barber, Cindi Clay, Mary Thomas, Sonya Wood, Valerie Sampson, Karen Nail MJHS Singers II ' y:.. ?,jc Officers: At left: Jill Jackson, Secretary Mary Thomas, President Kelly Tyler, Vice President 156 Prom Committee Planning the 1981 Prom has been the job of the three students selected from each of the four senior home- rooms.

Drivers are required to pass rigorous tests, both objective and road and continue train- ing each year. Mr. Bill Willis is the Direc- tor of Transportation for Jefferson County.

The Band performed in the Music Bowl this year in Gadsden and at the Tarrant Marching Band Contest in Tarrant. The Majorettes won first place in marching competition at Majorette Camp. At the end of the field season, the Band concentrates its activities on preparing for a Christmas Concert, Concert Competition, and the annual Spring Concert. MJ is a part of District IV where the competition among schools is keen. Directing the Band is Mr. Allen Bailey who proudly teaches the students in the band as they begin the school year a month early — having band practice all day during the month of August. Hot, humid weather did not stop the students from marching, marching, and marching as they refined their routines for final presentation at the ball games.

For a disappointing season in wins, MJ varsity football had several bright spots. Extremely close games, where the final score gave the opponents only a one to three point edge didn ' t put a damper on the spirit and enthusiasm of the team. Injuries plagued the team, but the determination to win and the spirit of the devoted MJ fans help to make up for the losses suffered at the hands of some extremely vibrant teams. The highlight of the season was the win over Fair- view with a score of 7 to 3. With only 10 seniors on the varsity team, MJ looks forward to the ' 81 season with eagerness. We love you team!
