I A0K ELEVEN F o reword My their fruits ye slml! know lliem” might well be (lie theme n!' this review of Jefferson High School activities as portrayed by the Class of 1930. So much has been spoken ami written about the decadence of modern youth that il is most refreshing to read of the achievements of these Jefferson modern youth.” If things were as bad as some would have us believe, we might expect to find our young people taking little interest in the worthwhile activities of the school. Scan these pages and see if you don't agree with those of us who have had I he pleasure and privilege of working and playing with these virile, red-blooded, enthusiastic young Americans that they have been living happily, working thoughtfully, playing sportingly, and growing determinedly. They take their curricular work seriously and climb steadily upward year by year over language hurdles, through mathematical mazes, into scientific realms both social and physical, undaunted and unafraid, and emerge victorious to join tlie ranks of urn alumni who have pioneered tlie way. They enjoy the comradeship of their companions and build for themselves citadels of friendship money can never buy. They plunge wholeheartedly into their recreational activities releasing the dynamic energy of youth in athletic struggle, forensic clash, journalistic effort, and musical and dramatic expression. Life is just as real to modern youth as it ever was to the youth of any past age or even to you older folk who look down at them with the austerity of age-ripened experience. And life is just as earnest, as they conquer joyously or suffer reverses philosophically, (lather new strength and resolution. then, as you look into the faces ol these students who have stood the test, glory in their achievements as succeeding pages narrate their conquests. ■ reel these youth with helping hand and cheering word, for il is with them that the future of society rests. Youth of today decadent? Not so. youth of today dynamic. And Jefferson youth? None bettor! W itness this hook.
