Green Freshiesn As the spring arrives with the green grass springing up and everything beginning to awaken, we realize how September was the springtime of our high-school career. As the spring's most prominent color is green, so it was in Jefferson High School last September. We realize now why we were called green freshiesn by the upperclassmen, but there comes .1 time when almost everyone must go through that. When I Came to Jefferson in September, I was probably the Hgreenest freshie around. Such Ll queer feeling of loneliness I had never experienced before, but within .1 week I had acquired many new friends. I, like my friends, found myself .1 cog in a wheel of thir- teen hundred and fifty st11dents, turned by groups of teachers, e.1ch filling his d11ty. Just being able to attend such an efficient school as Jefferson was enough. Those days of learning the rules of the school and slowly awakening to tl1e fact th.1t hard work and labor was our lot, were made more bearable by the variety of activities presented to us along with our school work. Suddenly we came to the conclusion th.1t high school was not all play. But, after all, being a freshman in Jefferson High School XV.lSI1iI as bad as it was deemed to be, and we are joyfully awaiting the arrival of next fall when .1 new set of green freshiesu will enter this school. XVe will Hnd many green sprouts under our feet then, and must give to them the same directions we received .1 year before. GENE Pl-.CHIN, '37.

Happiness- Gleaned from comn1on things, Is far more precious Than the wealth of kings. DoRoTH Y MoREHousE, '3 S. W - ' l

STAMPS Did you ever stop to think about the drama or the history back of stamps? The first commemorative stamp was made to honor a man who had done a good deal of charitable work in a certain town. The town, which was issuing its own stamps at the time, got out a special stamp to honor this man. The man didn't know anything about it until he was congratulated on the street, after it had been issued. Thus the beginning of commemora- tive stamps. Stamp collectors play a big part in world affairs. The second Byrd Antarctic expedi- tion would not have had funds enough if it hadn't been for collectors. The U. S. govern- ment issued two different stamps and donated the funds to the expedition. The first was an oversized stamp of the three cent denomination. It was blue and white and had a pie- ture of a globe on it with all of Byrd's expeditions on it. It was perforated and gurnmed and in sheets of fifty. The second issue was the same design but imperforated, ungummed, and in sheets of six-the smallest sheet of stamps ever issued. The United State issues postage stamps of the following denominations: RGC, lc, 1'jc,2e, 3e,4e, Se, 6c, 7e.8C,9c,10C, 1lc,12c, 13e,14c,1Se,17e,20c,25C,30e,50c,Sl, SZ, SS. Old issues are 90c. 53, and 54. There is a law in the U. S. forbidding any living person to have his portrait on a stamp. The only living man to be honored by a Commemorative stamp is Colonel Lind- bergh. That was a ten-cent airmail stamp. George Waxshington has had his likeness on more than fifty U. S. Stamps. Wfho would think that one stamp could be worth SSOJJ00? The iirst issue of the British Guiana is worth that. There is only one known copy. HENRY L. MILLER, '36. - Eiglitv-agiif
