The Resume of Jeff'Co-Hi Jefferson is finishing her eighteenth year. “Father Time” lias given his best to Jett-t'o-lli in every way. However, there arc always some shadows among the high lights of all life, in school as well as in the outside world. This well known school was established in 1914, at Ifayles, through the influence and the work of Superintendent Erwin. Here life moved on smoothly and progressively until 1917. That year one of the unfortunate shadows of life came in the burning of the building. The gloom caused by this disaster was dis] elled in 1918 h a new. more complete and up-to-date structure. I ist year another shadow jvtrtly covered Jcff-Co-Hi. The auditorium burned. W e were fortunate in having the rebuilding started immediately and finished in a few weeks. Our valuable library was not injured. In it are 3,625 volumes which are an asset to any school. A new wing has been added, and the athletic field has been so improved hat it is now one of the best in the country. The school grounds have Ik-cii made attractive by shrubbery. Jeff-Co-Hi's brightest lights are its graduates. They increased in numl er from 6 in 1917 to 101 in 1924. The students enrolled and the many alumni are proud of their Alma Mater. The faculty too have increased from 6 in 1917 to 22 in 1931. J93° 31 Faculty Mu, T. J. An sold Miss Neil Browder Miss Annie Castleman Miss Nina Ccrlin Mr. V. M.
