“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
