The Jeff Juniors Gain Recognition Room captains, Missy Kienly and Linda Glick, turn in wrapping paper money to Dan Clark, junior president. The junior year is one of preparation. Sophomores of last year found that they had advanced to a position of importance. They were like neither the lowly sophomore nor the mighty senior but were beginning to make themselves heard in many fields. The girls could now wear full-length formals to dances, and the former B-team boys moved in to fill vital gaps. As is always the case, however, new found prestige brought with it a multitude of responsibility and problems. The courses were stiffer, and instructors were found to be more demanding and exorting. Organizations offered many juniors the opportunity to become offi- cers and leaders. Other fields, such as Junior Achievement, were just opening to them. As a primer for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the juniors took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test: some of the more aspiring pupils hopefully signed up for the National Merit Scholarship Test. The top ten of the junior class are as follows: Martha Groves, Chuck Walkup, Barb Burget, Carol Emery, John Rainier, Lynn Coyle, Marsha Idle, Brad Shafer, Bill Kirkpatrick, and Mike McKim.

Their Senior Year With Anticipation One can always tell a senior by his yellow cords and the air of superiority that hovers above his head. The Jefferson Class of 1967 continued to carry on the tradition of upper- class authoritative abilities and accomplish- ments. All 532 seniors united to share the re- sponsibilities accorded them. Strong evidence of seniorority appeared in the front rows of football and basketball Block Sections; wild cheering increased the pride in Jeff which will not end with grad- uation. After June, each senior will go his own way, leaving only the fond memories of Jeff days for posterity. Seniors also matured in the attitudes of their studies. Term papers and other grueling proj- ects took long hours of hard work and pre- cious time. The school year of ' 66- ' 67, with the memorable Senior Prom, was actually an excit- ing one for the upperclassmen ; they learned that the pressures of leadership must not be ignored.

New Doors Opened to Sophomores In the very beginning, starting with orien- tation, sophomores found themselves awed by the immense responsibility of maintaining Jef- ferson ' s fine traditions. They had to assume new and radical methods to keep up their grades and still enjoy the wide variety of organizations which they could join. The pres- sure was on, and to some it brought frustra- tion, anxiety, and worry. Those who met the challenge, however, found it stimulating. This year ' s sophomores looked forward to an event unrivaled by any since the beginning of Jeff. This event is the scheduled opening in August of 1968 of a modern, well-planned high school which should provide unbelievable op- portunities for this year ' s sophomores. From feeling absorbed by the very structure of Jeff to becoming individuals working to- ward excellence was the sophomore class of Jeff. As the classrooms, stairways and corri- dors became familiar to them, they became an essential part of Jeff.
