working diligently collecting copy and pictures so that this year's Tatler can fully tell the story of 1965-66 at Jackson High School. The business staff, headed by business manager Bill Rowe and his assistant, Mike Young, has at the same time been working hard selling advertising space to help offset the cost of publishing the yearbook. Working since last June, the business staff sold $5,400 worth of advertising to local merchants. This enables the annual to be sold to students at a minimum price. Scoring another marked success, the business staff sold 740 annuals to Jackson High's 792 students.

A sales record of 93.6 per cent of the prospects is a high average in any league! The literary staff takes pride in keeping secret all facts about the annual. The yearbook's theme, the color of its cover and other information have been jealously guarded by the staff. If rumors are to be believed that the cover is going to be bleeding madris, for one, am hoping that it doesn't rain Wednesday. However, there are a few known facts about the annual. Although not the largest, this year's Tatler probably will be the most attractive.

The main objective is to accurately and fully tell the story of this school year through pictures and stories of the academic, sports and extra-curricular activities of JHS students.
