Annual Staff Dedicates The 1978-79 Troiani To Mrs. Jean Jerome The 1978-79 Troiani annual staff has proudly chosen to dedi- cate this annual to a very wonderful lady by the name of Mrs. Jean Jerome. Her concern for the school and her active partici- pation in this year ' s changes were the bases for this dedication. Mrs. Jerome was born in Hemstead Long Island on April 1, (April fool ' s day) where she spent her early childhood. From there Mrs. Jerome moved with her family to Kalamazoo Michigan. Her parents bought a summer home on Gull Lake about one half hour ' s drive from Kalamazoo. Mrs. Jerome spent almost all of her weekends and summers at the lake where she loved to swim and sail. In the winter the lake would freeze over and she would go ice skating. Mrs. Jerome moved with her family to Redlands California where she spent her senior year at Redlands High School. After graduation she went to the University of Redlands for four years. One semester, while at Redlands University, she went to school in Salzberg Austria where she brushed up on her German. Mrs. Jerome then went to the University of California where she got her teaching credential. She was married to Bill Jerome on July 31, 1971. She now resides with her husband in Tustin. Mrs. Jerome came to Neff in 1970-71 where she taught a variety of English Classes and her major, German. Mrs. Jerome received the title of Activities Director and A.S.B. Advisor in 1974- 75. In turn she had the chance to work with all of the clubs, class and A.S.B. officers. Any activities that took place, Mrs. Jerome was there to follow them through. Mrs. Jerome, retiring from this title this year, was handed a new responsibility as Accredidation Chairman. As you can see, Mrs. Jerome has devoted many hours to our school. This dedication is just one way for us to say, Thank You Mrs. Jerome!
