Groups Recognize Achievement Recognizing achievement was a major project in Student Council. Two new means of acknowledging students' accomplishments were the Principal's Trophy and the Wall of Fame. The Principal's Trophy recognized the spirit and achievement of students as homeroom groups. Student Council kept track of points earned for such events as Homecoming and Door Decorating, events also sponsored by the Council. The Wall of Fame recognized achievements made by students outside of school. These included extracurricular activities and awards. It also honored the achievements of the alumni of Jefferson High School. Other activities sponsored by Student Council included Homecoming, the Shamrocks for Dystrophy, the faculty-student volleyball game, the Christmas tree in the main hall and its decorations, the door-decorating contest, the canned goods collection, and the carnations sale on Valentines' Day. The AFS Club introduced foreign exchange students to American culture and challenged American students to investigate cultures other than their own. Led by Mr. Brandel, the club's advisor, AFS welcomed Lene Hansen from Denmark, a senior who spent her year's stay with the Radtke family of Jefferson. AFS also sponsored a foreign-exchange weekend aimed at bringing together foreign and domestic students. Students toured area facilities and highlighted the weekend with a large banquet. The club's philosophy became the belief that through such encounters, understanding amongst nations becomes a possibility. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS. (Top) Mr. Follensbee. P. Knuth (treasurer). V.

Groups Add Pep To School Two groups took up the challenge of adding the necessary spirited punch all teams needed for a winning season. Before each athletic event, the Pep Club posted signs urging a team win and encouraging student participation in the cheering section. Signs were changed seasonally also, with requests to Santa for victories seen displayed throughout the month of December. Besides painting signs and wearing buttons, the Pep Club sold jewelry, a long and work-filled project whose profits allowed the purchasing of special shirts. J Club did its part for the school’s athletic program. In order to join the club, a student had to earn a letter in some athletic activity. The J jacket became a sign of achievement. J Club also sponsored fund-raising projects such as candy, pizza, and candle sales. The money from such projects contributed to the improvement of athletic facilities. Lene Hansen, Jefferson High School’s foreign exchange student, earned her J” jacket at an opening assembly and went on to prove her spirit. She learned American dances, ate American food, cheered the teams, and acted in school plays. Jefferson's spirit remained high.
