They were born in prehistoric times when the caveman first roamed the jungle near his crude abode and threw to- gether a pile of stones for ia trail marker. As civilization progressed, traflic signs Jbecame more and more necessary. 'Since today we are living in an age of speed and automotive fprogress, traf- fic signs are an essential part of our everyday life. When we drive forth on our daily excursions, we constantly see 'words of iwarninlg and wisdom along the smooth 'broad highways. As these signs protect, guide, and help the traveler over the wide American highways, so, too, they will show the way for the observant traveler on the Road of Life. How very many of our fondest memories are summarized in that sign which says School Zone, Speed Limit 20 Miles Per Hour! As we leave lbe-hind the pleasant school days to begin our great journey, let us apply the advice of the lowly traffic signs to the dangers along our wayg and, as we leaf through pa-ges of this 'book may we be guided by their friendly help and counsel. aan: 7A34F776' uw Cf DEDICATIO In appreciation of his many contributions to school and community, we, the students of Jef- ferson High School, dedicate this, the twentieth edition of J-HI-LIFE to Mr. Robert L. Shoaf. During the twenty-five years that he has been at Jefferson High, Mr. Shoal has Watched our school grow larger and larger. He sometimes recalls the days when he first taught chemistry and physics in Jefferson. His laboratory was ill-stocked and inadequate. Today when one walks into the chemistry and physics laboratories, he finds well- lighted, ccnvenient work taiblesg cupboards filled with chemcalsg and modern equipment lining the wall. Of these laboratories Mr. Shoaf can justly be proud. Mr. Shoaf has served as coach for all sports. He now coaches the track team and is advisor for the school Athletic Association. In this, his silver anniversary year at Jeffer- son, we wish to thank Mr. Shoaf for 'his many contributions to our school. 'I ,l Qs.-sl - 5.211795 A' .ff 'i-EE Ei!

Jefferson competed with two other schools, Williamsfield and Dor- set, and placed second. This play was a sample of drama, a por- trayal of three air-borne victims trapped in a Louisiana jungle. The characters were: Rog- ers, the pilot of a private plane, played by Dick Moisiog Neal, a 'businessman whom the jungle has affected mentally, portrayed 'by Bob Harvey, Drew, ancther businessman, the most composed of the party, known around school as Jack Haines. The stage managers, prompt- ters, carpenters and general handy men were Arlie Keel and Bob Dennis.

They have lbeen twelve years filled with many things. We have had disappointments -but our triumphs have been many. Before we leave, we should like to remi- nisce over a few of the major events of our school days. Of this year's graduating class, 17 have at- tended Jefferson School for the entire twelve years. They are Robert Dennis Shirley Ens- man, Helen Gollon, Jack Haines, Paul Jones, Emma Larson, Oscar Larson, Jennie Marzec, Clyde Means, Doris Means, Richard Moisio, Arnold Newman, Joan Race, Roy Ritter, Viv- ian Sheats, Richard Shore and Robert Weir. The first day of school we will never for- .get. Somewhat frightened, we walked into our classroom, 'but we were 'greeted -by smiling teachers who quickly helped us forget our fears. During our school days, several new stu- dents joined our class. They are 'Esther Buck- hardt, Louise Clinton, Donald Cook, Marian Flack, 'Donald Kozak, Margaret Low, Richard Mead, Donald Millard, John Rashi, Jane Rob- inson, Charles Stevens, Harry McConnell, Mar-garet Nemeth, Helen Ondrejovich, Donald' Walker and Norma White. One of the biggest steps in our school life was the jump from the sixth grade to the sev- enth. The :bells for the change of classes al- ways seemed to mix us up -but with the help cf other students and the art of pokin-g our heads into the wrong room, we soon managed to get to classes. When we 'became freshmen nine students from Lenox entered high school. They were: Barbara Blough, Norma Eldred, Rose Mary Kuncz, Donald Locy, Charlotte McClintock, Betty Oliver, Thomas Smith and Shirley Tiscgh. We were the victims of the last freshman ini- tiation in J eiferson High School. The events of our freshman year were ended by a very suc- cessful freshman dance. In our junior year we presented the junior class play, The Calamity Kids. As juniors we acquired many responsibilities, such as raising money for the Junior and Senior Prom. which was held at the Ashtabula Hotel. With Richard Mead as our president, we had a very successful year. Many of the boys in our class have partici- pated in various sports, 'while most' of the girls have been active in such organizations as the Y - Teens and G. I. A. Several of our class members have 'been active in scholastic activi- ties throughout our high school days. As seniors, we elected Roy Ritter as our class president. Four new -members were elected into the National Honor Society in their senior year. They were: Gladys McClintock, Shirley Ensman, Richard Moisio, and Jennie Marzec. Barbara Blouigh, Jack Haines and Roy Ritter had' 'been taken in when they were juniors. i Yes, these years have all passed too quickly but not too quietly. They have 'been eventful years filled with work and play, not only for us but for those who have lbeen helping us along our journey. We no-w extend to them our deepest appreciation for the many years that they were so patient and helpful to us. We hope that the records we leave fbehind justify the time they spent so willingly helping us. CLASS SIZING CIF 1950 Tune: It's Breaking My Heart It's -breaking our hearts to 'be leaving, Our school days at Jeff are all throu-gh, It isn't too easy 'believing The time's come to start life anew.

In witness thereof, we, the class of one thousand nine hundred fifty, have hereby signed. sealed, published, and declared our last will and testament on this 24th day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred fifty. THE CLASS CIF '50 PRIJPHESIES Scene: Room 14, Jefferson High School Date: School year of 1964-5 Two teachers from the Class of '50 are looking through an old annual and discussing their former classmates. The teachers are Jen- nie Marzec, the commercial instructor at Jeff High, and Roy Ritter who has taken Mr. Shoaf's place in the field of science and coach- ing. Mr. Shoaf has been superintendent since Mr. Watson left Jeff to star in Don Locy's Minstre1s of Broadway. It looks as though Jack Haines may get to the White House yet. I wonder how Carol will like 'being the first lady? Yes, Jack has become a very popular can- didate. He owes many of his votes to his faith- ful campaign manaiger, Paul Jones, and his secretary, Marion Flack. Did you know that Barbara Blough has just been appointed President of Kent Col- lege? Yes, I heard albout it. And Vivian Sheats is now -bacteriologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Mead has also accepted a position on the staff there. His methods in surgery -have brought him fame. Speaking of doctors and' clinics, I hear that Don Millard, the famous stunt driver, has been released from the hospital. They say he never could have lived if it hadn't 'been for Dick Shore's new -cast for broken necks. Dick has contributed many wonderful in- ventions to mankind. I wonder if Cherie has ,given hi-m any of his ideas? While we are on the subject of famous people-have you read Esther 1Buckhardt's lat- est novel? She is very wealthy. She even has her own private plane in which she travels. And just -guess who the pilot is? Harry Mc- Connell, in person. Rosie Kun-cz is the stew- ardess and private secretary for Esther. l'll ket any male guests on board that plane would enjoy getting airsick! This isn't an airplane, but I saw Louise 'I'homas driving an International truck the other day, and she was wearing one of those special truck drivers' hats, one of the latest creations of Bob Dennis, the 'great hat design- er. I hear that Charlotte McClintock is now modeling Bob's hats. Yes, those McClintocks are really 'in the groove' these days. Gladys and Johnny now live in Hollywood, you know, and Gladys is 'going to star in a movie soon to lbe produced by the Larson Studios, operated by Emma and Oscar. Not only is Gladys going to be in it, ibut so is that great opera star, 'Richardo' Moisiof' Besides havin-g two members of the Class of '50 in the movies, we also have one in radio -Arnold Newman is the sound effects man over Station D-IN. He always did make enough noise! Another talented pair from the class is Helen Gollon and Joan Race, the professional skaters. I caught their show at the Rollo Cade when they were on tour. And Helen Ondrejovich is twirling with the Cleveland Browns' Majorettes. I hear she may make head drum major. Speaking of the Cleveland Browns, I hear that Clyde Means is really getting along in football. He is now head coach at the Univers- ity of Georgia, you know. And he found that 'Georgia peach'. Clyde's sister, Doris, is now Mrs. Fred Hin- kle. She lives in Jeff and' lakes -care of her little red'-headed son. Say, I hear that Betty and Bi1l's sons are -great 'basketball fans already. Well, like fath- er, like sons, I always say. As long as we're on this su'bject, I hear that Janie Robinson Dixon is teaching her daughter, Dixie, the fundamentals of short- hand at an early a-ge. Margaret Samples fthe former Margaret Lo-WJ is both a -career girl and a mother. She is Chief Operator at the telephone exchange. Have you -been to Piper's new meat mar- ket, operated by Francis and Norma? I hear it will provide some stiff competition for Don Kozak, who has taken over Stainfields 'meat market and for Herren's Super-Market, now managed by Don Cook. No, I have never been there. Have you seen Isa1y's store since Chuck Stevens took over the management and had it remodeled? Yes, I have. And where do you suppose the Isaly Company 'gets most of its milk for its dairy products? From Tom Smith and John Rashi, co-owners of Ashtabula C0unty's larg- est dairy farm. HI read in the Jefferson Gazette, now owned and published 'by Shirley Ensman, that Norma White and Shirley Tisch have left on another tour of South America. Norma is gathering material for a 'book and Shirley Tisch and her assistant, Bob Meaney, has agreed to photograph the scenes o-f our south- ern neighbors. Speaking of photographs, have you seen the latest of Bob Weir? He's now posing for Charles Atlas' ads and he was on the 'sack of the latest comic 'book put out fby the Walker Publishing Company. Yes, That is one comic book I like to read --all in poetic form. Margaret Nemeth always was good at writing poetry and knew she'd make a career of it some day. Yes, the memlbers of the Class of '50 have done well -for themselves. But what else was to be expected from such brilliant and ambi- tious students? ALMA MATER Let's give a rah for Jefferson High School And let us pledge her anew. We will cheer her on to victory, To our dear old hi-gh be true. Let all our troubles 'be forgotten And high school spirit rule: We'll join and 'give our loyal efforts For the good of our old school. It's Jefferson High School, it's Jefferson High The pride of everybody here. Come on you old grads and join us young lads It's Jefferson High School now we 'cheer- For now's the time, boys, to make a ibiig noise No matter what the people say, For there's none to fear, the gang's all here So hail to Jefferson High School, Hail!
