Too many students do not place enough emphasis on their studies. They fail to realize that their entire future may rest on their success or failure in high school. A record of every student's work in Jefferson High School is kept on file for reference by future employers. At the right is a picture of a typical laboratory scene in Mr. Bill Levering's physics classes. Here the students are measuring wave lengths with a tuning fork and a graduate. Often extra-curricular activities interfere with the classroom routine. While these activities are important, they should be secondary to school work. Teachers try to impress this upon their students, but sometimes these students do not realize how important their studies are. The next time an occasion arises whereby you may be excused from a class by a blue or yellow pass, make sure it is more important than your class.

When the walls come tumbling down. English At JeFferson, our English department plays a very important part in a student's high school training by aiding him to better un- derstand the English language and to make better use of it in coming years. There is no reason why one should ponder over correct word usage, pronunciation and spelling when there are such fine grammar courses available to our students. After three semesters of either remedial, general or aca- demic grammar we have a thorough under- standing of the basic fundamentals of correct English and its usage in everyday speech. Literature gives us a better over-all sum- mary of great writings and their authors. Our instructors take us on a tour into a strange and different world of the past as we study fantasies, plays, poems and short stories written by some of the world's greatest authors. The speech department has readily be- come a very popular and profitable course by helping the students to overcome their shyness. This course gives confidence to a student when he is before a class reciting or addressing a large audience. Another benefit from this course is that it teaches one to express himself orally, which many find quite difficult. The department is ad- I give up.
