istorical Homes. Cary Bugg and Linda VVard, VVittiest, and Bren- da Baltimore and john Cronk, Most Happy-Co- Lucky, look at some hand-wrought surveyor's tools made in 1672. In early America there was such a large amount of land to be surveyed that most of the men enjoyed this as a hobby. Both Mr. Peter and Mr. Thomas Jefferson were professional surveyors. The Circa American Chippendale cherry secretary in the background was made during 1747-1760. The antiquity of these ob- jects, and of Shadwell itself, emphasizes the in- congruity of the electrical outlet in the floor- board. From the sports fields to the principal's office, Gary and Linda are known for their quick wit and ready humor. Brenda and John are truly happy-go-lucky. Bob Hathaway and Lillian Attardi, Best Look- ing, and Judy Mawyer and Chuck Grossman, Best Dressed, are standing in front of a fireplace at Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson. Peter Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson,s father, bought the entire Shadwcll plantation for one bowl of Arrack punch, The original house on the Shad- well plantation burned in 1770. The Thomas Jef- ferson Foundation is responsible for the complete reproduction of the Shadwell plantation house, the project costing approximately S80,000. This site is believed to be the site of the original Shadwell plantation house because of the dis- covery of a filled-in cooling cellar. All furnish- ings in the house are authentic period furnishings, although they aren't the actual furnishings that belonged to the Jefferson family. RiP Payne Photos

Iesse Lynn and Linda Christensen, Most In- tellectual, and Butch Harlow and Patsy Davis, Best All-Round. Iesse and Butch seem to be trying to explain the use of some old-fashioned household appliances to Linda and Patsy. The brass candlestick, the eighteenth century pine Tavem table, the china soup toureen, and the bread tray can he seen at Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Iefferson. Iesse's and Linda's warm personalities relieve the se'iousness of their excellent scholastic abili- ties and extensive general knowledge. Good grades, sparkling personalities, and active school spirit emphasize the best all-round qualities in Butch and Patsy. Superlafives visl Dwight Andrews and Barbara Iannan, Most Likely to Succeed, and Watts Maupin and Tommy Faulcnner, Most Popular, stand on the upper level of the University of Virginia Rotunda. The four are over-looking the grounds where such diverse geniuses as Edgar Allan Poe and Woodrow Wil- son, among others, have walked. The University was founded in 1819, the year Spain seceded Florida to the United States, by Thomas Jefferson and the rotunda was the first permanent building on one of Americais truly beautiful campuses. The structure, which was designed by Mr. jef- ferson himself, was burned in a tragic fire in 1895 but was restored as nearly as possible to the original plans.

The walnut Queen Anne chair in the comer was made in 1740. Behind the candles which are on the mantle are some plates, these are to keep the candle-soot from discoloring the walls. At Mon- ticello Thomas jefferson had a group of papers which had been his father's, Peter Ieffersonis. Among these papers was a floor plan of Shad- well. The discovery of this floor plan started the movement to reconstruct Shadwell. The pres- ent house at Shadwell is reconstructed exactly according to the plans found at Monticello.
