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.
