“Strange to me now are the forms I meet When I visit the dear old town; But the native air is pure and sweet. And the trees that o’ershadow each well-known street, As they balance up and down. Are singing the beautiful song. Are sighing and whispering still: ‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will. And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’ ’ —Longfellow. To You . . . for your keen interest in our every effort In succeed . . . for your whole-hearted attempt In make our pathway smooth . . . for your willing sacrifices to make life well-balanced . . . for your keen thoughtfulness to maintain the best for us . . . for your carefully conceived plans to provide for succeeding generations . . . we feel that your due measure of appreciation, though merited, is seldom acknowledged. To you, the citizens of Jefferson, we dedicate the r of 1940. PAGE THREE

“I remember the gleams and glooms that dart Across the school-boy’s brain; The song and the silence in the heart. That in part are prophecies, and in part Are longings wild and vain. And the voice of that fitful song Sings on, and is never still: ‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will. And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’ ” —Longfellow. r--- C We, in this our yearbook of 1910, have endeavored . . . to leave a record of a year's progress in the school we have attended ... to present a cross-sectional view of our school life . . . to preserve cherished memories of our sojourn in Jefferson High School ... to express our gratitude to our superintendent and teachers for their efforts in helping us make our school days varied, stimulating, and fruitful. Today, as in years to come, may these indelible impressions serve as an impetus to far greater accomplishments. PAGE TWO
