We questioned reality with a future of dreams.4
5
We conquered one obstacle while grasping thechallenge of many.We created unity by recognizing the valueof one person. 7
We were lost in time while broadeningthe horizon for another.We were one .. . togetl1er .. .furthering the progression ofdreams.
We questioned tradition,confronted opposition, fell ... and began again. We watched the seasons changewhile observing those people and those ideas which surrounded us. I1
We entered from the outside ...young and eager to appreciate thefellowship of unity.We were .. . we are .. .belonging.
AcademicsThe study lamps burn late as we prepare to takeour place in a world which daily grows morecomplex.We investigate the orderliness of our environ-ment through mathematics and science. We learnthe structures of our society through social sci-ence. We find the joy of creativity through indus-trial and fine arts.But we pause in our struggle to realize that weare not alone - we are belonging.
Principals Mr. Sherman Crump Principal This is the second year that Mr. Crump has been principal of Jor- dan High. He was directly respon- sible for all financial and personnel matters of the school. He also worked for public relations with the P.T .A. and other community groups. Mr. Crump has really been working this year to make it possible for students to communicate with the administration. He has had an open- door policy, meaning that any stu- dent could come into his office and discuss ·problems at any time. Mr. Clemont Bishop Vice Principal Clemont Bishop has a very likeable personality which has helped him to be a friend to the students he has associated with this year. He was responsible for planning the school calendar and activities. He was also concerned with all prob- lems involving students - includ- ing attendance, tardiness, acci- dents, work permits, and parking. Mr. Bishop believes that students have a right to dissent but that criticism sl}ould be constructive and carried out through the school system.16

Administration And School Board Develop New Innovations A district-wide dress code was one of the impor- tant policies and decisions developed by the ad- ministration this year. The dress code, although met with mixed feelings , gave Jordan students more freedom by allowing the growing of mous- taches. Through the approval of the school board and the administration, Jordan was able to undergo many structural improvements. The biology green- house, new cafeteria furniture, and remodeled auditorium came as a result of their work.Left to Ri[?lzt, Row One : Joel P.

The large collection of literature gives seeking individuals a source for both instruction and enjoy- ment. Many take the opportunity to use the new electric typewriters in the sound- proof rooms . The I.M.C. may also be a place of relaxation to those watching television or reading magazines. · Richard Peterson relaxes while reading Tolstoy.

Physical Education A Stronger JordanKelly Webster and Lenea Rocks reach for volleyball as Cindy Reed watches. Who would dare to get on parallel bars seven feet above ground and spin around? Jordan's courageous girls would. Who would run to the weight room wearing gym shorts in zero weather just to have the body-building experience of lifting weights and sweating? Jordan's courageous boys would. These two examples are only a part of the curriculum of Jordan's physical educa- tion department. Physical Education builds strength, coordination, but most of all, team- work. 29
Custodians CUSTODIAL STAFF- Left to Right: Howard Cude, Fred Alldredge Phil Brinton, Golden Ray Holt, Head Custodian. Keep Jordan Bright ' A cold building with no lights is a detri- ment to the learning process. The custo- dial staff labored all year to make Jordan comfortable and attractive. After school each day, every floor had to be swept and the myriads of waste bas- kets had to be emptied. Occasional jani- torial duties included buffing the floors, painting the stair steps, and washing the windows. Various students were given an opportu- nity to gain extra spending money as they were hired to help the custodians. This is an everyday scene in the cafeteria.

The switch from elf-contained lunch service to the Federal Lunch Program was one of Jordan's great changes. This was a pleasing, economic improvement for many students. For others it meant deli- cious hot rolls and butter that came with every meal.30
