The pioneers of Jeiferson early saw the need ot' schools as a means for bettering the connnunity. The northern part of the present build- ing was erected in 1868. lt was used as a secondary school and was known as the Jefferson Liberal institute. Later it was bought by the city and transformed into a public high school. The first class was graduated from it in 1885. As time went on. the need ot' a larger building was felt and in 1895 an addition larger than the original building was completed. 'Phe arch- itecture was similar to the first building and so the symetry was not lost. Placed on a hill and with a large, Well kept campus and suitable shrubbery, the high school has a very attractive appearance. The school is old. lt has seen much service. Yet it is not run down. It has a certain charin that makes it more enticing than ever. The inside, although old in arrangement and furnishings, is kept in excellent condition and has more the countenance of a school than some of the newer institutions. VVe are proud of Good Old J. H. S.
