Qlltmn E Sv 'EH The members of S' 20 are both glad and sorry to bid farewell to their Alma Mater. They are happy to know that they have successfully com- pleted their courses, but sorry to leave friends and school life behind. The graduating class of S' 20 was the B 9 class when the Jefferson was started in 1916 and is the first class to complete four years of work at this school Of the original class of four years ago about ten are left to graduate, while the remainder, sixty-two in all, came from intermediate school in their tenth year. This is the largest group of students graduat- in from Jefferson, with the exception of the class graduating in the summer of 1919, which was a combination of the W' 19 and S '19 classes. VVith the graduation of this class, jefferson loses many of her most valuable students. Two Student Body presidents, one Boy's vice-president, two Yell leaders, one candy counter manager, a president of the Southern California Debating League, and Who's Who president, a Trail Club pres- ident, a Latin Club president, three Ieffersonian editors and ten staff members, one Monticellan editor and eight staff members, five debaters, one basket ball captain, seven R. O. T. C. commissioned officers, ten Who's Who mein- bers, one Boys' Glee Club president, one Girls' Cvlee Club president, and a glee club accompanist, to say nothing of many Glee Club and Orchestra members. The class colors are green and white. These colors are carred out in the caps which the seniors wear, the girls with green and white tam-o-shanters, and the boys with over-seas caps of the same colors. On the front is a green HS' 20. The caps which made their apearance in November, are useful as a guide to the omnipotent Seniors for by noticing the caps one could tell a Senior blocks away. Under the direction of the officers of the Philomathian Society the Seniors helped in several Aud calls and pay assemblies. After four years of high school life the class of S' 20 has only the best of feelings for their fellow students, the faculty and Student Body as awhole. To class advisor, Miss Hanson, each member would express gratitude for her willingness to help at any time, no matter how large or how small the difficulty. S' The class of S 'ZO goes into the world striving to live up to the high ideals of Jefferson and endeavoring always to be a credit to our dear Alma Mater. nineteen

0112155 nf M 'EH The Class of VV '20 numbers 57 members, all of the courses offered in the school. The students have their share of honors and because of the number fell below sixty-one were entitled to only one Ephebian member- Alfred Fisher. Several other students were close seconds. Names of all of those who stand for efficiency in many lines would be attempting a grave task, yet a few stand out for scholarship and leadership in our small community. George Stenquist, the president of the class, gave us the following names: Leo Sawyer, one of the editors of the Monticellan, has been Student Body President, editor of the Jeffersonian, captain of R. O. T. C. Sidney Chambers Council Member. Allen Cohn, Philomathian president. Evalyn Cunningham, Vice President Class W '2O. Frona Edmondson, Secretary Student Body. Morris Epstein, -Ieffersonian Staff. Alfred Fisher, Vice President of Student Body. Harold Fleischer, Monticellan Staff. Edna johnson, Secretary of Student Body. Ida Morrison, Monticellan Staff. Nettie Stein, Jeffersonian and Monticellan Staff. James Quaglino. Yell Leader of Student Body. Lyla Thomas, Vice President Study Body, President Girls' League. Charles Ueche, R. O. T. C. honors. Frank Zeigler, Monticellan Staff. Fourteen members of the class will do post graduate work at jefferson. The following plan to enter college or university the coming semester: Gladys Chollman, Fern Hiner, Harold Fleischer, Mary Pate, Bertha Fox, Edith Rohmberg, Olga Helhoff, Norma Riedeman, Helen Heyser, Irene Rit- ter, Edith Rosensweig. Thirteen will go into business of some sort and the rest are uncertain as to their future career. D Several of the class of XV'2'O have shown marked ability along dramatic lines, having taken prominent parts in the school plays. In fact, this is a live class with a record to be surpassed by few classes. The Ieifersonian has well said that the presentation of diplomas is a Star', act in the lives of these students. This class promises to be a valuable asset to the Alumni, to do big things for the school and the community. They have shown themselves efficient along so many lines that we may safely say that they have talent. They will furnish business, professional, industrial and domestic men and women. Nor would we overlook the artistic lines, as several are either ar- tists or musicians. They are real Democrats-admirers and followers of our great ideal Thomas jefferson. None have really brought censure on them- selves or their school, and thus with only a positive record for good, what can we not hope from their inHuence from now on? eighteen
