fter two years of sharing a building, Jefferson was com- pletely and totally “tech.” Al- though only 43 Jefferson- based seniors remained, the halls were not drained of life. Four hundred forty-three freshmen and 50 seniors joined the 826 sophomores, juniors and seniors already here. It would be hard to under- stand the new enthusiasm un- less you were here. Laughter and shouts of “Who’d you get for Chemis- | try?” or “What lunch do you have?”’ filled | the halls as students compared schedules and summer stories. Many freshmen and sophomores got a sur- prise when they discovered locker combina- tions from the previous year were not changed. Only if 5, 6 or 7 were added to each number would the lockers open. Students showed just how important be- ing here was, even before the September 8 opening. Varsity football was moved to a new division consisting mostly of private schools. That didn’t stop 400 students from turning up at an unpublicized football game against Park View on September 4. Spirits were high even if the game didn’t go our way. High pitched shouts of “Go! Blue! Fight! White!” filled the gym as frantic classes com- peted for the spirit stick. The sophomores were victorious, but all classes did their share of raising the spirit level. It was obvious that here was the place to be. — Jennifer Snyder
