CLASS RECORD In the fall of 1931, the June '35 Class entered Jefferson High School as innocent freshmen ready to begin their interesting adventure of four years. What an interesting and exciting one it turned out to be ! When we first began the organization of our class on November 9, 1934, with the helpful guidance of Mr. Jenkins, we felt that our high school course thus far had not been in vain, but had now reached its most stimulating point. On November 23 and December 12 we chose the following class officers: President..............Dick Crombie Vice-President.........Irene Hegeberg Secretary..............Margaret Lammi Treasurer..............Bob Bailey Sergeant-at-Arms.......Jay Mercer The newly-organized class soon decided on the pins—symbols signifying the success- ful completion of four years of study, which everyone proudly displayed. The Spectrum staff was chosen at a meeting on December 18, consisting of the following: Strickland Gillilan, editor, and Jennie Fredericksen, assistant editor. Jennie, on account of illness, was unable to carry on in her position and was replaced by Amy Jane Reichert, and later Jennie was made circulation manager. The class photographs aroused a great deal of interest, and the exchange of them among classmates proved that Jefferson had presented us with numerous friends. The first class dance was held on February 20, and several others followed with good results. The class was very proud to have among its members one who was able to help with the clever designing of the announcements. Gordon Jones, who sketched the statue of Jefferson used on the front of the announcements, did much to impress upon our minds a pleasant memory of Jefferson High School. Chinese pink, nile green and powder blue were chosen as the class colors on April 23. The class decided on This far and farther as the class motto. With a splendid cast, a good Shakespearean comedy, Twelfth Night, was pre- sented as the class play on May 10 and 11. The school year is now drawing to a close, and everyone in the class is anxiously looking forward to the Senior Assembly, Baccalaureate, Commencement, and the Senior Prom to round out the activities of a pleasant four-year period. Margaret Lammi, Secretary.

MR. BOSSERMAN We, the members of the June class of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, wish to express our gratitude to one who has had much influence throughout our high school years. Our first contact with him was in the Junior Assemblies in which he presided. Later we came to him with our problems which, though often trivial, were treated with the utmost interest and concern. As Vice - principal of Jefferson High School he has set an example of man- hood which we have learned to respect and shall cherish as we go on to other fields. We thank Mr. Bosser- man for his cooperation and we hope that we will be able to live up to the high standards he has established for us. MISS FLEGEL During our first three years at Jefferson, some of us were fortunate enough to have had Miss Flegel as teacher, or we knew her as faculty adviser of the Preppers' Club; but during the past year we have all learned to know and love her in her new position as Dean of Girls and as Girls' League adviser. It is for this last year in which she has given us so much personal attention that we wish to thank her most, and we know that she will continue to be an inspiration to the girls of Jefferson.
