Dancing was a favorite of many. \"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ...\" The first day of a new school year. Everyone was excited to see friends and teachers again, yet they hated to see summer end. The new Sophomore class filled the halls with unfamiliar faces, the Juniors returned happy to leave their sophomore status behind, and Seniors returned with senioritis and fears of graduation. \"I had really mixed feelings,\" says Ruth Andrus, ''I'm sad that this is my last year at Jordan, but I'm excited for college.\" As the days passed, everyone began to settle down into their schedules. However, there were the occasional bursts of excitement. \" ...it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity...\" As the students sat in their classes day after day, some things helped to make it easier: friends, music, food, and the mastery of sleeping with ones eyes open. Russ May was heard saying, \"I love my classes, it's the work Jhate.\" Many students seemed to feel this way, and those teachers who made class intresting were greatly appreciated. \" ...it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring ofhope, it was the winter of despair...\" Many of the students participated in sports this year, ranging from football, cross country, and gymnastics to basketball, soccer, and track. All sporting events provided not only great entertainment, but a fun way to meet new people. Another way to get involved was in joining various clubs. These clubs provided for students whose interests ranged from service to athletics. \" ...We had everything before us, we had nothing before us.\" But TAKE A LOOK AT US NOW!A nd the R ockets RedGlare...Fireworks light up the sky duringthe Fourth of July celebration.

dvantage Clay, pencil, watercolor, calligraphy, oils,or ceramics- these are some of the few waysJordan students express their creative talents. An art class is often considered a break inthe school day, where students can relax andnot have the pressures of tests, essays or re-ports. At the same time, it helps them becomea little more culturally refined. Mitch Berg expresses that, \"art was a verydifficult class at first, but after the help andassistance of Mrs. Smith, I feel that I am ahundred percent better artist!\" Tami Caldwell adds,\"art is a fulfilling andenlightening way to end your day! Mrs. Smithcan be a little off-the-wall at times, but thatmakes the class more enjoyable!\" Mr. Milne, the commercial art and calligra-phy teacher gives the students a new way tolook at art and ways of writing. One commer-cial art student, Billy Ekblad expressed that,\"commercial art teaches great fundamentals,like basic drawing skills and design.

Language Lessons At Jordan, like most other o;chools, English is required all four year<; for gradu- ation.

Science is the most basic and impor-tant program at JHS. But unfortunately it's notthe most popular. Stephanie Baxter comments,\"I think if you are interested in persuing acareer involving science it is very important .I think it should be required maybe for a yearto g ive people an idea of what its all about. Butif you aren't interested you shouldn't have totake more than you can handle.\" A lot of students don't realize whatscience has done for our environment. \" If itweren't for science we would have no under-standing of the human body. There would beno such thing as doctors and we would have nocure for sickness,\" comments Sheila Paul. Ifyou think about it, if it weren't for science wewouldn't have hardly any of the things wehave. You can really learnalot from science.Rebbeca Webb says, \"Science is really goodfor you. It lets you know that there is a worldout there that we know nothing about andcould learn so much more about.\" Science hasbrought us to where we are today.

Knowingl'llumbers Mathematics are concepts that have beendeveloping for centuries. It's the basis of moderntechnology. Each day we use a form of math insome way without even knowing it. But at JordanHigh the math teachers are aware of their usageof math skills. For some students math is a difficultsubject, for others it is like their native tongue.Nonetheless, it is vital knowledge that almostevery career or field demands. Math is a tough subject to teach, in thatthere are several complicated formulas and theo-ries to be cultivated in several complicated stu-dent brains. But the math department is capable,qualified, and most importantly willing to teachwhat they know.\"uhhhhhhhhhhhh............\" Andy Doyle on math.Wow!...Mr. Collier's third period trig class ismesmorited by how he can flex, write on the challboard, and completely confuse them, all at the sametime.

Do you know why the Egyptians built the pyramids, or why the Constitution dictates our democracy, or the causes of the more recent conflicts in Iran? The history depart- ment at Jordan High are the ones called upon to distill the answers to these and several other questions about our past. The history depart- ment seems to be the favorite of most the studentbody. Each of our teachers have their own styles and techinques making their class fun and unique. Mr. Broadhead seems to think films is the most effective way teaching. He gets the facts across and the students enjoy his classes. Not only will you get a \"broad-view\" of his- tory but you 'II also learn how to tie a fly. In Mr. May's class his word is LAW:Anything Goes!! Mr. May is an excellentteacher. He not only teaches the in's and out'sabout history but also about life. I le can relateto the students, while at the same time pushestheir brains to the maximum. \"The essaysneverend! You getonedoneand the next thingyou know there's another due,\" groans devoutstudent Jackson Allan. Dan, \"The All Ameri-can Stud\", May said, \"Although theAPclassesare hard, it's worth it. Do you follow me?'' Another favorite, Mr, Andrus is a toughteacher but a good one. As students leave Mr.Andrus' class, the facts of history are leftringing in their ears, Mr. Andrus makes sure ofthat! He cares about the class and what he'steaching, and it shows. He helps us learn whatwe can become. Mr. Rassmussen never conducts a drylecture. He makes sure his student learn bysharing his vast insights into the past. When asked,\"What are the most effec-tive teaching methods...\" Mr. May felt having the students get upand lead the class, sharing their knowledgewas most effective. According to Mr. Andrus it was classdiscussions and student involvement. Each teacher creates their own type ofteaming experience for their class. Throughthese teachers, the students learn from the pastto improve the future. 48ACADE:MICS
