Queen ' s Coronation Brings Elations The annual Queen of Hearts Dance, sponsor- ed by the Jefferson Hi-Y Club, succeeded in producing an evening long to be remembered. This year ' s dance was held in the North Ball- room of the Purdue Union on February 11. The couples danced from nine until twelve o ' clock to the romantic music of John Well- man ' s Panoramic Orchestra. At the hour of coronation the court was announced. The at- tendants Linda Goodin, Lee Hall, Diane Walk- ey, Joy Good, and Laurie Smith were presented with red roses. A crown was placed on the head of Marsha Kennedy by president Denny Gobble, and a dedication song was played. Everyone then returned to the dancing floor to complete the memorable, Valentine-accented night. As the evening ended, the Queen and her court received charms as keepsakes of their wonderful evening. Denny Gobble served as general chairman of the successful dance, and other Hi-Y members took their positions as the heads of various other committees. Smiling over the shoulder of escort, Lee Long, Queen Marsha Kennedy leads the customary dance. Candidates for the Queen of Hearts Dance, Linda Goodin, Joy Good, Laurie Smith, Mar- sha Kennedy, Lee Hall, and Diane Walkey, wait anxiously for announcement of winner.

tjxcellence in rlcacfemics Excellence is perhaps most evident in the academic life of a school. Classroom activity at Jeff was very much improved in 1967. The advanced courses, such as SMSG Math, PSSC Physics, and Honors English, gave qualified pupils an excellent opportunity to apply their skills. The new textbooks, however, added to the excellence which Jeff is constantly trying to achieve. In Art classes and Home Economics classes, equipment was the main concern. This year these departments received much equip- ment which improved the courses. One area in which pupils spent much of their time while preparing for class was the library. In the summer before school began, the cramp- ed library was transferred to a different place. Therefore, in 1967 pupils enjoyed a better equipped library with much more space. As a result of the new library, Jeff also gained a new study hall. These things contributed greatly to the excellence of Jefferson High School.
