Joy, happiness and occasionally sorrow filled the school year of 1954 for all Jeffer- son High School students. For us at .leFf, it was a year of classes, sports events, parties, dances and club activities. The Bronchoette Gallop, held October 6, 1953, began our social year, then came the Reel end Black Revue, October so, 1953, that brought out the talents of many Jeffer- son stars. Many picnics were held in the fall by the various clubs at Jeff. For the entertain- ment and enjoyment of our school days, many convocations, from speakers and min- isters to Indian dancers, were held. What We Did In '54 Every Wednesday night the Youth Center was held for the Jefferson students and their friends to dance, play ping-pong and win cash awards. Next on the agenda of dances was the Queen of Hearts Dance, January 30. The 1954 graduating class presented their play, entitled Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, on March 25 and 26. In the year 1954 we followed the Jeff Bronchos to the semi-finals but unfortunately left them there. Then came the climax to a wonderful senior year-the Senior Prom held May 6 and the Senior Trip to New York City. A mafter of balance . Rah-rah-rah
