On the shores of tiny Pacific islands, on the sandy beaches of Salento, in the bleak cold of the Aleutians, these men of ours, fighting to preserve our Aenea way of life, reflect the character of America. The work which you of Brooke General Hospital are doing is a shining example of this American Spirit in action. Your deeds will never be forgotten; you will always be spoken of with reverence by thousands of American men, and we, their loved ones, will pay homage to your name. Page 4 Page 5 Army Service Forces Eighth Service Command BROOKE GENERAL HOSPITAL FORT SAM HOUSTON, TEXAS T. Guy Rogers, Principal Thomas Jefferson High School San Antonio, Texas. Dear Mr. Rogers: I wish to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the Staff of this hospital for the dedication of the Monticello Year Book to Brooke General Hospital. This high honor bestowed upon us is indeed deeply appreciated. At this time I should also like to express my thanks for the many service and inspection trips made here by the Jefferson students. The earnestness and enthusiasm of these young people in trying to do their “bit” for those men who have already given so much to the cause of freedom should certainly not go unnoticed. The unusualness of such an undertaking is most commend- able and I am certain there may be permanent good results from the work these students have done in their efforts to lend to the existing high morale of our patients. I trust that the friendship existing between the Thomas Jefferson High School and Brooke General Hospital will grow stronger with the years. Sincerely yours, GEORGE C. BEACH Brigadier General, U. S. Army COMMANDING. Page 6 ; : i r Our Serwice Flag A GROUP POEM BY THE ENGLISH VIII CLASSES OF MISS GRACE HUEY A blue star in a gleaming white field bounded by a wide red border — Fragments of colored silk, yet much more. The white field—endless expanses of sea and sky wherever our boys may be. The wide red border—prayers and the loving thoughts of the folks at home. And the blue of the star—our boys and girls on the fighting fronts—our friends, our classmates, The little chap with the grin on his face, the boy who lived next door. In the blue of the star— thousands of men in thousands of ships, plowing steadily through dangerous seas; Mosquito boats streaking the splashing waves; submarines stealthily stalking their prey. Giant carriers, on guard as havens of refuge; and mighty battleships blazing with thundering guns. In the blue of the star—long, silver wings in cloudless skies; Shadowy bombers on coast patrol monotonously circling—alert against the foe: B 17's roaring their song of power and victory in fog and snow over cold, grey mist- hidden islands, where an angry, surf breaks on a rocky shore, and alone bird cries: Millions of tiny flecks in the sky, laden with human cargoes of steel nerves, patience, loneliness, and the drone of deafening motors. In the blue of the star — our fighting men on a wide-flung battle line; Bronzed Marines landing on white, sandy beaches of palm-strewn islands, struggling bitterly foot by foot; Tired, grimy men cutting through dark, steaming jungles, or silently waiting in deso- late foxholes; Engineers building bridges mid flying shrapnel, and fighting men sloshing through mud and the rain; ae and artillery rumbling through narrow streets, past adobe huts or historic shrines. In the blue of the star —long lines of marching women, women in fighting men’s garb, standing shoulder to shoulder with brothers and sons, serving their country for freedom’s sake; And the gentle hands of the “Angels of Mercy,”’ soothing the stricken, easing the pain. A gold star now rises above the blue one—. A shining symbol of brave hearts and heroic lives given in sacrifice that we may be free; A challenge to us that from the sunset of their lives must come the dawn of a betier world than the one they knew. This is our tribute to our companions and friends, Our pledge that we are firmly behind them until the war is done— A blue star of hope and a gold star of faith on a gleaming white field bounded by a wide red border. Page 8 Page 9 Within these star are adel ther star enshrined This year has brought America a realistic revelation of the life and activities of her fighting sons of liberty, a knowledge at first hand of the adventures and sacrifices made on the fighting fronts of the world. No longer are combat casualties merely a part of the printed story of young Americans’ courageous deeds; they now hold for us a far greater significance. = given so very much are now returning, not to the hoy@iias st institutions that have dedicated themselves j erving, our wounded soldiers. In every pai received with warm welcome by the militag eneral, are a link in the chain of these heali sry student in Jefferson High School is an undying ¥ ettion for these heroic men. In order to express the vigorous pa is feeling inspires, we of Jefferson have chosen to do all within our power to extend our friendship and our services to these boys in your great hospital. This we have accomplished through the many serv- ice trips of our school organizations. It is the purpose of our 1944 MONTICELLO to fea- ture all of the activities of our students—not only their life at school but also these service trips, which have brought to the boys in the hospital many hours of pleasant recreation and cordial companionship. We sincerely hope that this edition of our MONTICELLO has furthered this warm relationship between our Thomas Jefferson High School and Brooke General Hospital. ee Page 11 Jable of Contents I.

Right (upper): One of the beautiful rose gardens of our school is a natural setting for our principal, for the rare beauty of Jefferson's campus is due to his careful planning. Right (lower): “May I have your attention, please? This is Mr. Rogers speaking.” These familiar words bring almost 2,000 Jeffersonians into close contact with our beloved leader. An invaluable friend as well as a wise and trusted leader, he personifies in his gentle yet forceful character all that means Jefferson to us. Imbued with a rare feeling for beauty, an unusual sense of fairness, a wise spirit of toleration, a complete understanding of our joys and our problems, a fine spirit of co-operation, and unusual executive ability, he guides the destinies of our beautiful school, occupies a sure place in our hearts, and is an inspiration to all of us. Throughout the thirteen years of Thomas Jefferson High School's life as a school, a great school which has been pushed to the very fore in the eyes of the nation, he has constantly guided the establishment of precedents and ideals and traditions that have been spread abroad over the nation by the ex-students of Jefferson and thus have meant much in the enrichment and ennoblement of countless thousands of our American citizens. We salute you, Mr. Rogers, our good friend and our trusted leader. Mn. Raymond W.

A. Abbott, the class of ‘44 started a successful year. October 21, 1943—With the appointment of two committees, planning and publicity, preparations were made to give the Senior Frolic. November 11, 1943— The Senior Class announced its intention to sponsor the waste paper drive, formerly sponsored by the Student Council. December 9, 1943—The long-awaited Senior Frolic at last was presented. Jaga Long's Jazz Band, the Bull Durham Booger Band, and several talented singers and dancers were only a few of the very enjoyable acts pre- sented. January 10, 1944—Due to the labor shortage, the Senior Class took over the responsibility of keeping the cafeteria clean. January 26, 1944—At the first mid-term graduation ever held at Jefferson twenty-two seniors received their diplomas. Follow- ing the graduation exercises, the Senior Class honored these boys with a social in the Student Council patio. February 3, 1944—The Senior play, “A Murder Has Been Ar- ranged,’ was selected by the class to be given in May. February, 1944—When Presi- dent Dick Creamer left Jefferson to enter college, Charlotte Whitfield took over his duties with a promise to try to continue the good work of the class. The class motto, “Haec Olim Meminisse Juvabit,”” was chosen: the gardenia as class flower and green and white as class colors were decided upon. March 28, 1944—As a fitting climax to a very successful paper drive, a picture show was presented to students who brought twenty-live pounds of paper or ten pounds of magazines. May 19, 1944—The Senior play was successfully presented to delighted audiences. May 25, 1944 — Class Day and the lovely theater party! May 26, 1944 —Junior-Senior Prom! This was a day never to be forgotten. May 28, 1944 — Commencement Sunday services! All of us felt the solemnity. May 31, 1944 — Graduation Day! Tears and-smiles!

Fuller. F ebruary 17 — The Jefferson students were thrilled when they heard that the first Junior Class project was to be pre- sentec.—a picture show entitled “The Fleet's In. March 4— Many members of the Junior Class went on a Monticello-sponsored trip to Brooke General Hospital. They came away from the hospital with a feeling of sympathy, a feeling that those men must not have suffered in vain. As a result their project to furnish a room for Jefferson's ex-students who are now in the Armed Forces developed. In this room a file will be kept of all teachers, their rooms, a register book, a file of school papers, a class sched- ule, and a scrapbook of the boys in service. This room will be dedicated to our boys and girls in the service of our country. After the war the room will be used as a broadcast- ing room. March 17—The whole school turned out for the big Junior Class dance. This was as big a success as all of the other Junior Class activities, Apale= THe Juniors thoroughly enjoyed the picnic that was held at Olmos Basin. They not only enjoyed playing baseball and other games but also enjoyed eating the delicious food. Every- one was sorry when this happy day came to an end. May 26 — The Junior-Senior prom was a huge success. With the soft lights of the gym and the long, swishy eve- ning dresses of the girls, there was a feeling of sadness—a realization that the seniors would soon be leaving for good and that the juniors would be assuming their respon- sibilities. | : Opposite Page The operation of the X-Ray is being demonstrated to these attentive officers of the Junior Class on an inspection trip to Brooke General Hospital, an assistant courteously acting as a patient.

Page 69 | og History af The Class of 1946 September 9—The annual assembly to welcome new sophomores was held, with the whole school extending warm friendship to its future leaders. The class met their new principal, Mr. Rogers, who gave them a welecnine talk and presented our school’s official family—Mr. Arnold, Vice-Principal; Miss Smith, Dean of Girls; and Mrs. Parker, Attendance officer. The Sophomore Class is under the capable leadership of its two sponsors, Miss Mamie A. Brawner and Miss Julia Oliphint. The class held its firsi meeting in the library, at which time officers were nominated, the voting being car- ried on later by secret ballot. December 16—This was an exciting week of Jefferson, all sophomores eagerly trying to outdo each other in the number of vases, jars, and colfee containers brought for their next interesting project. One enthusiastic sopho- more brought sixty-four jars. December 23—Representatives of the class, on a Christ- mas service trip, took one thousand bouquets of beautiful Christmas berries to many wards of Brooke General Hospital. February 15—Officers of the class made an inspec- tion trip to the Brooke General Hospital and were photographed viewing the classic facade. March 15—The sophomores started a school-wide drive to collect playing cards, magazines, and joke books for the wounded veterans. In each advisory the names of the contributors were placed on the advisory Honor Roll. The drive was not ended until the specified one thousand veterans had received at least one of these articles. The big event of the year was the grand Fiesta party. This gala affair was held in the gym and in the patio. There was dancing in the gym to the latest tunes in the juke box. Games were played in the patio. Tamales and cokes were served afterwards. Opposite Page Sophomore Class officers are awed with the beauty of the facade of Brooke General Hospital. Sergeant Jolly S.

The Radio Club, one of Thomas Jefferson's most energetic and progressive organizations, has gone far during the short time it has been in existence. It has built, and is now operating, W. J. R. C., the first high school wired-wireless station in the nation. In addition to this the Radio Club has also put the school's inter-communication system back into working condi- tion. When the club was first organized, Miss Remy, its sponsor, did much toward the instruction of the radio beginners. Upon her leaving the school to serve overseas with the Red Cross, Mr. W. E. Montgomery was asked to sponsor the Radio Club. It was under his guidance that the club built W. J. R. C. Most of the newcomers to the Radio Club have built one-tube sets, and a few of them have begun construction on their wired- wireless transmitters. Fred Lightfoot, first president of the club, was the one who set the spark that turned the Radio Club from repairing other students’ receivers to the new wired-wireless field. The hope of the club is that every one of its members will join the “San Antonio Wired-Wireless Network.” Page 103 SPRING TERM OFFICERS MR. W. E.

Under the guidance of the Senior Class the organizations of Jefferson enthusiastically took over the respon- sibility of the paper drive. Every week-end saw Jefferson students in old garments canvasing downtown districts for scrap paper. The rivalry between organizations brought forth unexpected energy and high sense of duty, although each person worked not for himself nor for his club, but for his Country. The realization that the work we were doing would be of immediate assistance to our Country was the source of much pride among our students. It was for this cause that we worked so hard, gave up precious Saturdays, missed our Sunday naps, learned the art of bending, studied the advantages of a square knot, met strange people, and, best of all, realized the blessings of honest labor. Our drive was successful because of this fine attitude, which each person adopted. The entire school was proud of our success.

Now in its thirteenth year, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps of our Thomas Jefferson High School is of greater importance than betore because of the national emergency. The Corps con- sists of students taking military training under War Department supervision. Although it is not part of the Army, it is a vitally im- portant element of the national war effort. Body poise, mind poise, leadership, courtesy, discipline, organizing ability, clear thinking, and respect for authority — these are all acquired by membership in the R.O.T.C. Becoming proficient citizens, learning to be leaders, developing strong characters, having a healthy respect for law and order, engaging in training for useful citizenship — these are the real purposes of the R.O.T.C.

Through their inspiring music they create an atmosphere of pride and seriousness which serves as the only outward expression of the inner feeling of each cadet.

In the training of the rookies lies the secret of the success of Jefferson's R.O.T.C. In his first year a cadet. is taught the duties of a private in his branch. He learns that he must be at a certain place at a certain time, that there is authority he must respect, that there are duties and details for which he is daily responsible. As a second year man he exercises a limited amount of leadership; also during this year he receives special training preparatory for the officers’ test, given late in the spring, as a result of which, together with other requirements, the officers for the next year are chosen. As third year men the cadets are given authority Cadet:;Capiain, it ei a 6 4 ae oe CA RE Weir rene Cadet First Lieutenant - � � LEONARD HOEFGEN Cadet Second Lieutenant +« « � « SIGURD E SORENSON Page 132 x Company B BILL MERKEL Geet Captcit ae « ok eee eee RG Cadet Second Lieutenant « « � KENNETH GOLD Cadet Second Lieutenant « « « DAN HOOVER in the regiment, both as commissioned and as non-commissigned dfficers.

They then have the splendid opportunity of being responsible for maintaining the high standards which they have already helped so much to uphold. These ideals are easy to maintain with each company having weekly inspections both of military appearance and of military knowledge, the year’s work culminating in the important Federal Inspection, at which time the winning of the Red Star is traditional in our R.O.T.C.

(1) Marching proudly, our R.O.T.C. boys and the U.S. Army pass each other at the U.S. Post Office corner as they pass in review.

The remainder of the | game was played deep in Brackenridge territory with fumbles preventing the Mustangs from scoring again. | Perry Samuels was the shining star of the game, but the strong red and blue line deserves worlds of praise. Jefferson won 13-7 to become district champions as well as city champs. December 3— Scoring again and again, the mighty Mustangs crushed the unbeaten McAllen Bulldogs 44-12. This surprising victory moved the Mustangs one step farther toward the state championship. Perry Samuels took the lead, scoring more than half the touchdowns. The entire Jefferson squad played splendid football to win this important bi- district championship — the first such championship in our school's history. December 11 — Fighting hard, the Jefferson Mustangs scored against the hitherto un-scored-upon Goose Creek Ganders, but lost the game 13-52. Our team has done better this year than any other Jefferson team has ever done. The spirit which they have shown has been a fine example to all Jefferson. (1) One of Brackenridge’s top players, Frank Means, breaks through the off tackle for a long gain, but our mighty Mustangs fight hard against the play. (2) Much of the success and glory of our football team is due to the capable and patient leadership of our two coaches, “Bones” Irvin and Harry Hamilton. (3) Top man Means of Brackenridge again goes over one of our tackles, but his gain is checked, as Guy Worrell (36) and Morton Shefts (42) follow closely for a tackle. (4) Tom Watt, another Brackenridge player, breaks through = Page 190 our line but is checked in the play as Dick McKissack (44) and Eric Lipke (40) stop his actions. (5) It was a thrilling moment in the Brackenridge-Jefferson Thanksgiving Day game when one of Brackenridge’s players attempted a center plunge but was stopped by Clay Browne, backed up by Dick McKissack. (6) A spectac- ular moment in the game came when Erfurth of Brackenridge (23) clutched a forward pass from another member of his team but was hindered by Browne and Lipke’s readiness to make the tackle.

The boys have fought every one of their games valiantly, and, win or lose, they have done great work.
