Languages As time goes on, it is becoming more and more important for the youth of today to learn about the languages of other countries and about the customs and habits of ages gone by. The language department of Jefferson endeavors to present to the students direct, concise, and interesting courses of study in Latin, French, Spanish, and German. It is the aim of every teacher of these subjects to bring the language and the subject matter itself close to the student. Language lives. It tells a story for all to hear. Both the Latin Club, under the direction and supervision of Miss Irene Campbell, and the Spanish Club, under the guidance of Mrs. Juanita Wills, have brought great honor and publicity to Jefferson during the past year by presenting several unusual radio programs. One of the most outstanding of the Latin Today broadcasts was the presenta- tion of the Christmas story in Latin. Music by the Jefferson sextets provided a theme and a background for the beautiful story of old. The Spanish Club started the year by embarking on a new and different type of program. Each radio presentation was a playlet depicting a sight-seeing tour of different South American countries. On several occasions radios were made available, and students of Latin and Spanish classes were permitted to listen to the broadcasts. Our language teachers are Mrs. Ethel Ayer, Miss Irene Campbell, Miss Grace Deierlein. Miss Estelle Ingalls. Miss Ella Karnopp, Miss Almeda Poyneer, Miss Ruth Rockfellow, and Mrs. Juanita Wills. 12

Radio Although the radio industry is still in its infancy, it is a well-proven fact that radio will play a great part in our communications system in the future. The radio class here at Jefferson was organized in 1941, and is now under the supervision of Mrs. Edith Charlston. In this course students learn the arts of broadcasting, script writing, and adapting short stories for radio, and the necessary qualifications for different types of radio work. During the term, many programs have been presented over station KBPS as well as stations KOIN and KGW. One of the outstanding productions of the year was the presentation of Nathan Hale. A recording of this program was made in order that other schools might hear the accomplishments of Jefferson's radio class. Library Through the supervision of Miss Ruth Hall and the assistance of Miss Helen Crowley the library is one of the school's greatest assets. The students may use the library for reference work in all subjects and for recreational reading. Miss Hall is always willing to assist the students and teachers in finding their needed reference work. Under the direction of the library force, the Library Guild was organized for the purpose of furthering interest in books. The members have literary discussions, hold quiz programs, and select a book each week for the guidance of students interested in reading the newest and most stimulating books.
