Portwood Assistant Superintendent Senior Division SIX years ago a small group of engineers and school officials came to the newly-purchased site of the Thomas Jefferson High School and there amid brush and rough ground located the corner stakes for the building. It was difficult at that time to visualize a beautiful building with classrooms occupied by students and teachers engaged in busy and useful work. It was more diflicult to imagine the spirit of enthusiasm and hope which always radiates from young people. It seemed that many years must pass before a real school could possibly be created on that rough plot. But now at the end of just a few years the school is a reality. As the stu- dents of Thomas Jefferson dedicate this book to Texas on her Centennial birthday, let them be mindful of the magic of growth that has taken place within six short years. THOMAS B. PORTWOOD Page 20

Page 21 A glimpse of our Principal at his desk, pausing in his busy clay to greet us. i Mr. T. Guy Rogers Principal ll look back over the years that have passed since the in- auguration of Thomas Jefferson High School with a sincere feeling of gratitude to the student body for the splendid spirit of cooperation that has been manifested on every hand. There is not a finer group of young people in America. It is, indeed, an honor, as well as a pleasure, to be associated with the students of Jefferson, and my hope is always that I may be able to make a contribution, however small, to your happiness and welfare. My prayer is that, during my term of office, the instruction which you receive and the ideals with which you come in contact may always be such that wherever your paths may lead, after you have finished here, you will always be living examples of what Jefferson means in the enrichment and ennoble- ment of the citizens of Texas.
