A- ward): Tony Gipson, Congratulations goes to students receiving awards. Wednesday, the last day of school, the eighth grade students and parents gave a party with the ninth grade students as the guests of honor.

Following the last final exam students left for the party that was held on a houseboat on the Barnett Reservoir for five hours of swimming and dancing. Thanks go to the chaperones, faculty members and the girls in bikinis. Since this is our final article we have, since this was the first year of athletics in Jackson Academy history, to give you a run down on the year in sports. As this year comes to an end, Jackson Academy students find themselves proud of what we have accomplished in the way of sports. This was our first year to have a sports program.

Jackson Academy closed its first football season 2-4-1. The Jackson Academy sports program entered its second stage in compiling an 0-5 basketball season. Of course, it's disappointing to lose, but our pride is in the fact that we never quit. We started the year with players who had never participated in junior high sports and did the best we could. After basketball season our hopes of being any good in track were not very high but after our first meet we again had that winning spirit.

Coach Shelton and Mrs. White brought their track teams to Council Hanging Moss for what was in the end a Jackson Academy victory. Numerous first and second place finishes helped Jackson Academy win its first meet of the year. Our next three meets were to be at Prep against some of the best teams around. We gave it our best all three times finishing in fifth place the first time, fifth the second and we showed signs of improvement as we finished fourth in our final meet.

Track was the last and by far the best phase of our athletic program but some felt we should have a baseball team so, a group of boys got together and formed their own team. Mr. Mosley and Coach Shelton worked with us on their own time and arranged for us to play four games. We won our first game with Clinton Academy 5-0. We were defeated by Council McClure 13-6 and by Mt.

Salus twice, 11-7 and 7-6. So Jackson Academy's baseball record wasn't the best in the world but we had fun and that's what counts. Since this is our last article we would like to tell you how we wrote them this year. David Barnhart has been your sportswriter and all other material was written by Mark Simon. We thank each other for making it fun and easy for one another and we thank you for your comments about what we worte whether they were good or bad.

We hope whoever writes this article next year will take as much pride in their work as we have taken in ours. Our ending Good night Mark Good night David could apply here but we feel it is more appropriate to say with regret Good-by Mark Good-by David and Good-by to Jackson Academy.

I am writing in regards to the letter written by the woman who is two years older than her husband and the age difference seems larger to her every day, I do not believe that age makes a difference. I am five years older than my husband and we get along wonderfully! Our likes and dislikes are very much the same. He is a very mature, reasonable and understanding man.

At first, I was ready to quit going out with him when found out he was younger than was, but now I am very glad never did! We went together two years and have been married five years. These have been seven of the happiest years of my life. It is not the difference in age that makes or breaks a romance or a marriage. Believe me, 'cause I've been there also. OUR REPLY: We agree with you all the way.

As we told the young girl who originally wrote to us about this problem, levels of maturity are more important than age levels. We also told the woman who wrote to say age does make a difference, that she could be in the same boat even if her husband was ten years older than she. Unfortunately some people never grow up that's why the same level of maturity and the same interests are so important for a successful relationship.

Only after a Volkswagen goes through 1,013 inspections and all of the inspectors give it their thumbsup, is it a Volkswagen. If any one of them gives it his thumbs-down, then it isn't. That's our rule of thumb.

It has given me the opportunity to meet many people that I would not have otherwise and has given me great insight into the way my school is operated. I would like to thank a few people (by few I mean that this is only a fraction of the list) who have supplied me with "info" over the past two and a half years.
