Jefferson High School - Jeffersonian Yearbook (Falls Church, VA)

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.
