The Counselors and Office Help For each student in Jefferson there is a counselor to whom he may go for advice and help. If he has difficulty with his program or trouble with his classes the counselor is glad to give him special attention. If he merely wishes to obtain some advice or gain some information, again the counselor wishes to give aid. This term Miss Flegel and Mr. Bosserman are counselors for the freshmen; Mrs. Smith and Mr. Hay for the sophomores; Miss Campbell and Mr. Oliver for the juniors; and Miss Euler and Mr. Button for the seniors. Through the cooperation of the secretaries, nurse, and student secretaries we have a helpful and efficient office force. Mrs. Allen, Miss Sommerfeld, and Miss Olson, the secretaries, attempt to answer all questions and keep the office free from confusion. Mrs. Weinstein, the nurse, helps all the students who are ill or need first aid treatment. The student secretaries receive special training and do their utmost to help those in all the offices. History Eons of sorrow, and ages of pain; Wars that were cruel, then peace again. Lifetimes of toil, and hours of ease; Eras of grandeur, but also the lees. Torture and bloodshed, but peace and goodwill, Poverty, famine; the rich ate their fill. Hellish injustice, democracy too: History is too strange to ever be true. —Peter Beckman. 7

Science The science courses offered at Jefferson provide the student with a basic knowledge of fundamentals necessary for specialized work. The six branches of science afforded the students not only are interesting and practical but often inspire them to take advanced work in college in order to enter the field of laboratory science as a career. General science, taught by Mr. Marlowe, lays a foundation for second, third, and fourth year science. The second year student has a choice of biology, botany, and physiology. These courses are taught by Miss Una Davies. Mr. George Hibbard. Miss Jean Hill, and Miss Wilma White. Chemistry, usually taken in the third year, is a very popular laboratory course, taught by Miss Teeters and Mr. Taylor. The physics course at Jefferson, as taught by Miss Laber and Mr. Wood, provides the student with a practical understanding of mechanics and electricity which can be applied to everyday living. Mathematics Mathematics can be a great service to our country if students endeavor to get all the mathematics in their high school career they possibly can. Mathematics is helpful when students enter the services of their country. The Navy requires higher mathematics for various reasons, such as measuring distances at sea and the depth of water. With the study of mathematics students can strive to go farther in the civilian life. A recent innovation to aid in popularizing mathematics has been the Mathe- matical Quiz Program under the direction of Miss McRaith. The various courses offered are algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigo- nometry. and business arithmetic. These are taught by Miss Ruth Bonnett, Mr. L. C. Campbell. Mr. Carl Knudsen, Miss Maurine Laber. Mr. Charles Marlowe. Miss Abigail McRaith, Mrs. Mildred Mitchel, Miss Katharine Piggott, Miss Sarah Ruby, and Miss Jessie Skinner.
