Looking Toward the Future .. . Officers of the Class of 1957 Preparing to leave Jefferson are this year’s Senior Class officers. From left to right are Marty Roberts, Secretary; Jim Cosby, President; Jim Key, Vice President; Gary McCown, Treasurer; and Mr. F. O. Smith, Advisor As the SENIORS of 1957 leave Jefferson, the manifold experiences of high school days go with them, providing a firm foundation for future life. Remembrances are vivid of their sophomore and junior years when studies, friendships, and school spirit assumed a new importance. Always was the senior admired and copied. Suddenly the under- classmen of yesterday find themselves the seniors of today. Each member of the class begins to realize the familiar words, ‘‘when I grow up’’, are no longer as indefinite as they once were. Soon will come that day in June so long awaited—Graduation! For every Senior it will open a different door, but the years spent at Jefferson provide a common bond to hold the Class of ’57 together always.
