Priorities and such didn’t handicap pupils
at Jackson junior highschool when they de-
cided they needed a complete new stage set
for the auditorium. No, sir, they dug up a
few nails, hammers and saws from the work-
shop, mustered up a little paint and went to
work. After weeks of planing, pounding,
painting and sawing, the stage set was com-
pleted last week, and it’s a credit to the in-
genious pupils who made it. Woodwork
classes made the framework for eleven 16-
foot flats, on which painted muslin was
tacked by pupils in the art classes. The set
includes a large bay window, a jog, an ele-
vation and a stairway with bannisters. Sew-
ing classes made slip covers for the divan
and matching chair. Above, Wanda Lee Ed-
wards, Bobby Whitehead and Robert Guion
put the finishing touches to one of the flats.
