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.

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.

Cjxce ence in Activities Life outside of the classroom was changed very much in 1967. The pupils worked together well and the result of their cooperation was an excellent play, Our Town, The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Early in the year another Bron- choette Gallop King and a new Homecoming Queen began their reigns. In February, the Queen of Hearts joined the royal throng of Jefferson. Each class presented a pep session to arouse school psirit. The competition among the three classes caused this year ' s pep sessions to arouse school spirit. The competition among The end of the school year found the seniors going back in time to the elegant era of King Arthur. This year ' s prom, Camelot , was ex- tremely different than its predecessors, and it, too, had the goal of excellence before it. Soon after the prom, however, the seniors filled the gym once more at commencement. They then walked into a new life in which excellence will still be their goal.
