With an eye to the future, AAr. Clyde M. Gott, our principal, has brought Jefferson triumphantly through a year when the public eye was suddenly on education. In the rush to stress the importance of mathematics and science, he never overlooked the equal importance of the electives, lending his constant support to the subjects which give us a wider point of view. As a true educator, AAr. Gott has dedicated his life to his job. He usually does not leave school in the afternoon before five-thirty and generally spends his evenings attend- ing a school-affiliated game or dance. His every decision is made with extreme care as he unceasingly tries to make our years at Jefferson both happy and worthwhile. AAR. CLYDE AA. GOTT S.W.S.T.C., B.S. University of Texas, AA.Ed. EDUCATOR . . . SPORTSMAN . . .LEADER Mr. and Mrs. Gott and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Taliaferro (left) sit this one out at the annual M.J.R. Dinner Dance. Club sponsors such as Mrs. Taliaferro can always count on Mr. Gott ' s presence to help keep everything running smoothly at social affairs. The game is going well with no injuries and the Mustang score climbing. Team doctor. Dr. T. E. Christian, and Mr. Gott, blanketed against the cold, find a moment of relaxa- tion. Our principal rarely misses a game. Being a former coach and Southwest Conference referee, he has an under- standing of the rules and the problems of players.
