FALLS CHURCH, v tft V — 7 v.r G 3 S . - FOREWORD As wg leave Jefferson to push onward in life, we cannot fail to feel the sadness that comes to us when we realize that we are leaving the school in which we have spent so many happy moments among some of our dearest friends. It is because of our sincer- est desire that these moments may be kept alive in our memories that we compile The Jeffersonian for our class. May we remomber, with gratitude, the untiring efforts of all who cooperated to make possible the success of this publication. If, when we are surrounded ' by new interests which tend to make us forget our younger days, we open this book and feel that half-forgotten schoo 1 spirit creep back into us and fill us with the pride that we, alone, experienced because of our love for Jefferson — then will our efforts have been rewarded. In The Jeffersonian We have striven to make not only a lasting record of school life, but a book that will renew, with each glance at its pages, our affections for our beloved teachers and fellow- classmates . — Editor In the fall of .1931; with our bright young faces turned hope- fully toward that institution of learning known as Jefferson, we started our high school career. Almost immediately we were confronted with a vital question of high school which might influence our whole lives. Should we take Latin and perhaps become a modern Caesar of Cicero, or honor the world of science by taking that worthy subject? Some chose wisely, some otherwise--I leave that to your decision. That year four trembling freshmen were drafted for a debate before the Literary Society. Forgotten now is the topic under fire, but those four, Grace, Ellen, Allonzo, and Harold remember well certain incidents. How the sash on Grace ' s dress caused laughter from her colleague, how Lonny dropped his notes and Piggy ' became mixed. As sophomores the class agreed unanimously that they had a grand time, but that grand time was in private rather than public life and we have declined lo print it. The only public occasion mentioned was that of presenting our teacher, after much debating as to kind, color, etc., with a box of candy. The election of Junior Officers was a fiery one. The boys wanted one of their own number in the position of president but the fairer (but not weaker) sox ' were also determined. The fairer (but not weaker) members of the class won. Ellen Bristow was our proud president l This year also marked the beginning of the Jaguar and several of our members were appointed to the staff. This year, our last, we have worked hard (we think, but ask our teachers). We have continued our role of arguing by debating over rings, invitations, caps and gowns, flowers, and diplomas, as well as other small issues that have arisen from time to time. The position of dignified seniors was a difficult one to fill and most of us didn t. I mean we wern ' t dignified. We have been well represented in school affaurs, many presidents of school clubs coming from our class, and the Editor of the Jaguar is proud to be named a senior. We were represented on the basketball teams and also the baseball teams, one of our class won the scholarship offered by Strayer and we wore well represented at the Senior Rally held this spring. Looking back ovc-r the high school career of our class we realize that we are sorry to leave dear old Jefferson and those days behind us and we sincerely hope that Jefferson is as proud of us as we are of it. .

Having finished my latest picture Dishpan Sally , under the direction of llonzo Von Stonberg Allison, ray contract calls for a personal appearance tour of six weeks to a few of the larger cities. My first stop takes me to the famous race track Auga Caliente, and feeling lucky I decide to place a bet on the horse, ' ’Suppressed Desire . The bookio with whom I place the bet is none other than Paul HerrolL It is still the same old Paul, happy-go-lucky as ever, and looking as though the world is treating him fine. It is my lucky day because Suppressed De. re comes in first. I ■ My contract then cells for a stop at D allas, Texas, And wishing to have a taste of ranch life, I stop at the famous dude ranch, Rancho De Rosa, owned by an old classmate, in the person of John Russell, e seems very well pleased to see an old face and does everything to entertain me. He tells me of meeting old friends, and while on the subject of friends and classmates, I ask him about Harold Parrott. I have been so busy with my career that I am sur- prised to hear that he is now Dr. Harold Parrott, just returned from Vienna(not Virginia ) .Austria . He is now a famous surgeon and famous especially for being the first to create an artificial brain. John expresses his delight in telling his friends that he graduated from Jefferson. And so off again for a week ' s engagement in New Orleans, La. I decide to take a plane from Dallas to New Orleans and my air hostess is a Miss Reynolds. When I am introduced to her she says, Why, you ' re Jean Le Snaw to millions, but you ' re still Jean Robert- shaw to me, and even if you don(t recognize me, I ' m still Dorothy Reynolds to you. ' Dorothy is still the same gigly girl, but just as friendly as ever. New Orleans looks nice to me with its air of Southern hospi tality and it turns out to be hospitable to me in the person of William Noble Brown, the successor of Huey Long. Since Huey Long has become Secretary of War, Billy is now the Big Boss, in Louisiana. He insists on showing me the n ight life of the town. I put on my most stunning gown and he takes me to the Chez Fromage, a new niglt, club just opening under the personal direction of Wesley, Martin, who is the same old Wesley I knew in Falls Church. The big hit at his club is Judith Dellinger, a dancer and singer who has been a hit in New York and is at his night club for the opening. Judith has gone a long way since I dost saw her and she seems to have reached the height of her ambition-- one of our Dancing Daughters . ■ ' . My next stop is Washington, D. C. While in Washington, I pay a visit to the Rest Without Thought Sanitorium to see an old friend. Upon arriving, the first person I meet is none other than Grace Horde, the famous psychiatrist. Wo have a long talk about our days at Jefferson and have a. thoroughly pleasing time. While staying In Washington I take the short trip to Falls Church dear old homo town, I entertain al 1 my old friends at my mother s homo and renew old acquaintances whom I have not seen for a. number of years. lily wardrobe is getting low so I go on a shopping tour. My first stop is at the De Martin Smart Shoppe on Connecticut Avenue. The manager walks up to greet me with Est-ce que vous vouloz quelque chose, and even with the tiny moustache and his acquired French accent, I recognize immediately that he is Mai Martin. Ho invites me for a. drive to his estate near Fairfax and he tells me that his estate is being landscaped under the direction of Ervin Cornell. I make my next appearance in Philadelphia and here Paul Gib- son, the noted criminal lawyer lives. Paul is the same old Paul, good-huarted as ever, but still up to his devilish tricks. New York at last This is the city of cities. Income tax time arrives and being a good citizen, I pay mine. I am directed to the income tax collectors office on 5th Avenue. The firm is that of Hall, Updike, Corridor. I find that the president is Earl Hall and the vice-president ' Eddie Updike. The next day I receive an invitation to the garden party given by Mrs. Van Derby (Peggy Browning) at her Long Island home. One of the things on her program is a fashion show instigated by Mme . Estelle Rob ? (Edith Robey) now very famous in Paris. On the same bill with me at the Television Theatre in New York is Ellen (Tom Sawyer) Bristow and her famous trained cats, L ' Allegro and 11 Pensoroso doing a sceno from the prisoner of Chillon ' And now I jump back to Hollywood after seeing all my former classmates of Jefferson High School and I now have the satisfaction of knowing that each one has made a success in life. Juniors, I hope that you a 11 wll 1 have as ..much success as we have had. Miss Edwards Miss Edwards, our highly efficient principal of Madison and Jefferson Schools, is also a prominent member of the high school faculty. She is a graduate of the Peabody College for Teachers at Nashville, Tennessee, as well as a frequent student of the Uni- versity of Virginia Summer School- From Peabody College she went to John Marshall High School in Richmond, Virginia, where she taught mathematics and English. While there, she became head of the English Department. Before coming to Falls Church, she was principal of Herndon High School for a number of years. She suc- ceeded Miss Hobbs as principal of the Falls Ch Urc h Schools in 1929. Since that time she has done everything in her power to make the Falls Church Schools outstanding, for which she truly deserves the love, admiration, and appreciation which the student body holds for her.

This enabled them to play more games and to raise money for the treasury. The Jaguars enjoyed a most successful basketball season, in which they won twonuy-r.ro games and lost seven. They captured the Winter League title ana defeated Warrenton in the play off. While they were nosed out in the finals of the Fall League by Oakton, tho games were the best played and most exciting seen by fans in these parts for a long time. The Jaguars, all told, scored a total of 852 points, nv’itli an average cf thirty-one points a game, to 479 ) points for their rypononts, whose average score was seven points a game. Included in the list of victories arc triumphs over W. L. , Shenandoah Valley Academy, National Training School, Warronton High, and tho Young Democrats of Falls Church. The Jaguars 1 chances for next year will be hurt by graduation, however, as they will lose three regulars--Brown, and tho Martin Brothers, Wesley and Malcolm. But the team has Earman and Homer Horrman to build a team around and such able subs as J. Trumblc, H. Trumblc, Dale, Davis and Mabon, many of whom sow plonty of action this year. Several inter-class games were Id during the year, with the Juniors loading tho way over the other toams. The baseball season was not so much a success as the basket- ball season. Hard luck seems to dog the footsteps of the Jeffer- son baseball team. Two wins arc recorded on the victory side of the Baseball ledger. Others were lost by close scores. There will be plenty of material for next year, as the majority of tho squad arc now only Juniors or Sophomores. The breaks always seem to go against our baseball teams, but let’s hope that next year it will be a different story, and we will win baseball games, or at least most of thorn. Altogether, it can be said that the passing athletic year has boon an eventful one for Jefferson. Under the able direction of Mr. Scott, better known as Scottie , the school turned out a fine basketball team, and a fine, but not at all lucky, baseball team. Tho boys deserve groat credit, as thoy have brought more laurels to Jefforson High. Whilo at timos handicapped by injuries, it can not be said that tho Jaguars were not in thcro fighting all the time. ' ■ JAGUAR RATES l ! I The ’’Jaguar was awarded an honorable mention certificate for literary merit during the past year hy the National Mimes- graph Exchange, of which it is a member. ' GIRL ATHLETICS The basketball season opened for Jefferson at Oakton on October 12. It vias only the beginning, w ith a score of 40 to 12 in favor of Oakton. It was a bad stare but the girls had hopes that they would be victorious the ne.rt time, for the Clifton team, although they were fighters, would not shine in the petit new gym. The teamdb hopes aocr vanished, however, and the end came with a score of 50 to m favor of Clifton. The third game of the season was played in the evTi with the same result, Defeat”! Failure seemed evident in all cases and the first league ended without a single victory for the Jefferson Girls. A series of ih PQ ;games was played with the Young Democrats, which was composed largely of Jefferson ' .graduates Who hsid starred on the school team. The first game was played on November 27, and here, alas, the Jefferson team found- itself victorious. They knew that the saying Try and you shall succeed” was true, When the next two games came they doubted that statement very much for they all were failures. Quite different from the first league, the winter league v, opened with overwhelming victories. The first game went off with a bang in favor of Jefferson with a score of 23 to 27. The second game which was with Herndon lowered the girl’s hopes, for the score stood 23 to 21 in favor of Herndon, but from then on the Jeffersonians shone, for they were not defeated once until they faced Hcrndon again. After much debating., it was agreed that the girls v;ould play baseball. The first game showed them victorious, followed by a defeat from their old rival, Clifton. Tne next game made up for the defeat, for Jefferson kept McLean down with a score of 2l to 1 in Jefferson’s favor. After that easy game they were sure that Loe Jackson was assy to hold down, but were foolcf again! No runs made ! Altogether, it -would seem to the observer that the girls have had a rather eventful, if not entirely successful year. We admire their perseverance and give them all due credit and praise for the way in which they worked to bring Fortune ' s smile to our fair Jefferson More power to you, Fair Athletes t! May your victories continue to bring glory and fame to your dear old Alma Mater.
