President's Farewell We. the class of June, 1939, have followed the educational trail for four years at Jefferson. We have gone straight ahead embracing all the opportunities and reaping all the benefits that have come our way. But now we shall leave this road. Ahead there's a fork in the road: each of us shall take a different lane and leave behind him the institution that gave him his learning, his friendships, and his ambitions, and that will be an influence in future years. Our graduating class may recall many momentous events of its four years at Jefferson—reminiscences of our progress, our setbacks, and our accomplishments: the Jefferson High School Student Association organized last spring is the most important feature of our progress: the greatest setback was the fire last February which ravaged the east wing of Jefferson: prominent among our accomplishments is the new public address system installed this term. These are events which we recall as significant happenings and accomplishments during time at Jefferson. As we make our way up rocky hills and through peaceful valleys, we shall remember those responsible for our progress, for helping us to success. Ever foremost in our thoughts will be the leading man of Jefferson, the man who has always been willing to help, to inspire hope and courage in our hearts—Hopkin Jenkins. We breathe good wishes to dear old Jefferson and silent prayers of gratitude for what she has given us. We say farewell to her structure—but hello” to her memories. EDWARD VISTICA.

ICTRUM JUNE 1939 SPECTRUM JUNE 1939 SPECTRUM JUNE 1939 SPECTRUM JUNE 1939 June, 1939, Class Prophecy One blustery afternoon in late March of 1959, as I sat in my easy chair by my radio and television set, I mused at the changes that had come into my life in the twenty years since I had graduated from Jefferson. It was a long distance from Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon, to my home in Jeffville, New York. I was curious to know how far from home my classmates had wandered. Idly I turned the dial of my radio to the local station, WHAM. To my surprise the announcer, Carl Sundborg, was just giving a commercial for the sponsor, George Brustad's Concentrated Soup Pills. He introduced the four singing waiters, Kenneth Landon, Dan Mills, Don Mason, and Dan Luft, who sing for the customer's amazement. Margery Williams' band, to which Bob Stephensen, Willie Schacher, Bob Schiede- man and Kneeland Stranahan belong, played The Black 'n Blues by Herbert Pattison. As this program was signing off the air I turned to station WHY for the children’s hour, conducted by Constance Magwood, author of Mother Magwood's Stories for Itty-Bitty-Kiddies. This was sponsored by Allen Parker's Perfect Perambulators. Since the opening of the new race track in Jollywood was scheduled for that day, I rapidly turned to the ABC network. The track was being opened by Bob Robertson and was named Santa Juanita Race Track in honor of Bob's wife, nee Juanita Johnson. The announcer was none other than the dynamic Ed Clapperton. In the course of the afternoon many celebrities were introduced on the air. Among them were Irene Fitch, who recently starred in Drene ; Virginia Preble, hailed as the second Sonja Henie; Charlotte Reynolds, star of The Last Laugh ; Betty Korinek and Larry Jones, who made their debut together in Carmen last month; and Hedy La Moe, who, when we knew her, was Marjorie Moe. (Oh, those eyes!) I suddenly remembered that a goodwill broadcast between nations had been an- nounced for that afternoon. I quickly tuned in station WILL. Alvan Francis, news commentator, first introduced the speakers from the continent. Albert Pollard, French prime minister, conveyed the good will of the French people to the people of the United States. Tom Clarey, dictator of Dashia, expressed the hope that there would always be peace between the United States and Dashia. Then, as part of the program in the United States, speakers representing different classes of people in the United States were introduced to give their views. First there was Al Sorensen, minister of Green Pastures Congregational Church in New York City; second, Eugene (Slippery) Sly and Eileen Pesek, internationally known news correspondents; third, Ralph Bottolfson, president of Bankrupt National Bank; and last, Ralph Locke, professor of history at Harvard University and author of many history textbooks (he evidently makes history now, instead of studying it). As the afternoon merged into evening I turned to station WE for one of my favorite programs, We the Mob. sponsored by Philip Davis' Dainty Dills. Edwin Mitts, master of ceremonies, began the program by introducing Luella Haskell and
