FOREWORD The scenes around our school, which we now know and love so well, may soon be forgotten as we venture forth to new experiences. In this, our annual Spectrum, we are endeav- oring to present to you some of the most familiar scenes so that they may live in your memory throughout the years. In offering this book we hope it may serve to acquaint you better with Jefferson and to afford you many happy re- miniscences in the future. june, 1940—TOM KANELIS, Editor VICTOR LAUTZ, Associate Editor Jan., 1941—DONNA OLSON, Editor MARGARET MARKS, Associate Editor

To Mr. Hopkin Jenkins, who for many years has been and will be, the guiding light of Jefferson, this book is appre- ciatively dedicated. In the next few years it is going to be difficult to reconcile ourselves to not seeing Mr. Jenkins in his office and moving about in the halls. For thirty-one years, the name, Hopkin Jenkins, has been synonymous with that of Jefferson. Mr. Jenkins was principal when Jefferson was but in its in- fancy. This school has been, indeed, his life! Through his inspiration, social life has become an important function of the school, athletes have won laurels, and stu- dents have placed high in scholastic standings. So much a part of Jefferson have his genial smile, his thoughtfulness, and his deep understanding become that, although he is leaving us in June, we are not saying good- bye” but farewell. Mr. Jenkins' mind, his emotions, and his sympathetic feelings will long dominate the life of the school and its students. The goal which he has established will ever be a goal toward which each Jeffersonian sets his heart.
