The Spectrum Jamwfy,1928 are indeed proud that this play is one of the best ever pre- sented at Jefferson. As part of our plans for the final flight, on December 2nd, we christened our plane Preparing today, doing tomorrow . December 9th, we again landed, this time to give a dance in honor of the class that is to succeed ours. And now we have only to look forward, through our tele- scope of the few short weeks ahead, to our long-anticipated goal, Commencement, and the biggest celebration of all, the Senior Prom. Then will come the take-off for our last great flight into the world on the wings of our beloved plane, the Spirit of Jan. '2S . Comparison HELEN HURULIN I came, I saw, I conqueredfl So said J. Caesar of Rome, After nabbing a piece of worthless land, Then returning, self-satisfied, home. If I should question Caesar's task, Dame Histr'y in horror would faint, For he in the light of Fame will bask As long as the sword is great. You may say that it can't be so, And dispute my integrity, But We have accomplished a great deal more Than this man of antiquity. We did not sail the calm Southern sea, Nor vanquish some weak, passive land. Nay, we stood our ground and did not flee Old Learningls stout commands. Twenty-eight

Jw11wfy,1928 The Spectrum Log of the Spirit of Jan. '28 A mighty ship is the Spirit of Jan. '28 , and it was a long and eventful flight that she undertook, but she has success- fully overcome every obstacle in her course, and her officers are proud of her achievements. March 15th, We joyfully launched our good plane, the Spirit of Jan. '28 , on the first of her historic and eventful flights over the seas of Senior activities. She was manned by a most trustworthy crew: John Bonebrake, navigatorg Jean Garman, observerg Dorothy Stringer, radio operator. John Edgar, pilot, and Waldo Perry, mechanic. Our ship reached her first goal on March 21st, when we presented our very enjoyable seventh-term assembly. On April lst, after our first flight, we returned to the hangar to cele- brate. Here we held our Get-Together Party, the first one since the beginning of the trip. We began our second lap April 29th, after we had taken on supplies by means of the success of our first class movie, The Three Musketeers , featuring Douglas Fairbanks. May 13th, we flew our colors, rose and sand, and displayed to the throngs our great golden emblem, the J , while the June class cheered us with their waving banners of congrat- ulation. The Class of June '27 honored the Spirit of Jan. '28 on May 27th with a dance, acknowledging the successful com- pletion of her second flight. We began plans for our next flight September 14th, when we improved the beacons on the landing field by installing the Jan. '28 type. October 7th, we landed, and the Spirit of Jan. '28 held a reception for the Freshmen of Jefferson, who in a short time will take the joy stick in their own hands. As we were very proud of the achievements of our Spirit of Jan. '28 , on October 17th, we elected a staff to edit the Class Spectrum in honor of her. Charline Kunkle was elected editor, Dorothy Leeding, associate editorg Phy Gilham, art editor, and Bertil Wester, business manager. After another take-off, we again landed, on October 21st, to take on more supplies through the success of our second movie, a double feature: 'lThree Bad lllenl' and The Live Wire .
