A program to provide for the achievement of these aims is set up to include dance, team, and in- dividual sports. An intramural program is offered to meet the interest and needs of the students for further participation in the activities included in the program.

Miss Franées Miller Mrs. Elsie q 1) ae Librarian Library Clerk The groups which serve the greatest per- centage of any student body are the admin- istration, library, custodial and cafeteria staffs. They serve all and are concerned with the welfare of the entire school family. While the administrative offices plan and oversee our curricular efforts; while the custodial and cafeteria staffs are concerned with our bodily needs; the library, the heart of the school, nourishes our minds and encourages intel- lectual curiosity. Value of the library can be gauged by its constant use before school, during every period and after school hours. No textbook studying is allowed. Space must be saved for those doing research for classes or general reading. Yes, the library is the heart of the school. ‘ A eC 2... Dozens of monitors, library, class, and lab student assistants serve Jefferson on a 7:40 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. schedule. Pictured above are only some of them.
