Last spring, after many months of tireless effort, a committee drew up a constitution and by-laws which were adopted by the Jefferson student body. The first student body officers were elected in October, 1938. Immediately there- after many of the early planned social and economic projects were started. Student body caras were sold in excess of fifteen hundred. As a result the Jeffersonian cir- culation was increased by several hundred. The noon dances, which were inaugurated, brought a substantial increase in daily patronage and revenue to the Gab and Gobble (cafeteria). Social activities created a very friendly atmosphere and an inspiration for cooperation which were manifested at all interscholastic events. The officers of the student body association conferred with the officials of other Portland high schools, and it was heartily agreed upon to exchange speakers at as- semblies. The results brought us a much more friendly and cooperative spirit with the other student associations. At the end of the semester the room representatives appropriated seventy-five dollars as a scholarship to a member of the January '39 class, thus striving to help some worthy person further his education. It was not any one individual or group of individuals who obtained our success the first term, but it was the entire student body working cooperatively for a common purpose. The hope of the first officers is that, through the activities carried on, a foundation has been laid for a truly democratic student body association at Jefferson. DON OLSON. Student Body Association Spring, 1939 The Student Body Association has become a well-founded institution at Jefferson. Under the leadership of its first president, Don Olson, and a group of aggressive room officers, the association got off to a good start at the beginning of the school year and much was accomplished during the first term. Greater interest continues to develop and membership is increasing steadily. Shortly after the start of the second term and after the election of new officers, regular routine of the school was upset by the fire. Students individually and collectively met this emergency exceedingly well, and we have become used to the new arrangement of classes. We have not, however, been able to have any assemblies, and the plans of the student body have been held back because of this. In spite of. handicaps we have had, during this term, a very successful evening dance and our noon day dances have been most enjoyable. Im- provement in music and sound equipment will make these even better from now on. The officers of your association want to thank the faculty and students for their help in making the organization a vital part of Jefferson, adding to the interest and enjoyment of school life.
