W E ll E Il I II ll T E To you, students of Jefferson High School, we dedicate this Nautilus of 1944, not only to those of you who are still enrolled in the high school curriculum, but to those of you who have given up your booklore to answer our country's call to arms. Students in service, we have deep appreciation and gratitude in our hearts for you, which words cannot express at this time. The students of today are the hope of our future generation and the leaders of tomorrow. It is up to you to fulfill the dreams of your predecessors and to bring about a more lasting world of peace and prosperity. In years to come, we hope that you will not too soon forget your many happy and few unhappy hours at Jeff, and that from them you may find inspiration and joy for the years to come.

SlIH0lll HISTURY September 13 and 14 marked the beginning of the thirty-second Jefferson High School year and the seventy-ninth year for higher educa- tion of the young people of Lafayette. Provisions for higher education in the city of Lafayette began in 1864 with the demand for courses in Latin, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy, Botany, Rhetoric, Astronomy, History, Drawing, and Music, and was met by organizing a High School in the Central School Building on the site now occupied by the Centennial School. The first graduating exercises were held on june 18, 1869, in the Y. M. C. A. Three girls and two boys received diplomas as compared with 277 in 1943. In 1869, the high school classes were held in the New Ford School Building and continued until 1890, when a new building was erected at the corner of 6th and Columbia streets and called the Lafayette High School Building. The same building is now the City Hall. In twenty years, Jefferson High School was erected on North Ninth Street, at a cost of S350,000. In l.928, the new addition was built at a cost of S425,000. In past years, new courses have been added, and the present curriculum is one of the best in the United States.
