THE JEFFERSONIAN Vol. 2 Jefferson Junior High School. Minneapolis. Minnesota, Monday. June 7, 1926 No. 9 GIRLS GYM PROGRAM While the boys are having their track meet at the West High Athletic Field, the girls will be having an equally exciting time in the Auditorium under the leadership of Miss Carey. The stage will be an interesting sight, with funny dances, unusual and delightful. Jean Warren will put on a Raggedy Ann dance, Renee Silverman’s dancing class will perform, and other numbers of a like nature will be given. You will be able to see a street car scene, full of motion and fun. The Giant Midgets will perform, and a Medicine Act will add to your pleasure. Odd characters will make their appearance, such as Sis Hopkins and Mutt and Jeff. There will be acrobatic stunts galore, music (Collegiate Birds’ Orchestra), speeches and readings which will complete a program as interesting as it is varied. Just “think,” a little girl, five years old, from Douglas, Betty Jane Rogers, will be here to delight us. Now you have an idea of some of the fun that you will have at the Girls’ Indoor Tournament. Mr. Sifert We cannot name the girls who are to be awarded “J’s” because the paper goes to press before the girls are elected. However, you will see them on the Auditorium platform even though you cannot read their names beforehand. Wear the Jefferson Colors! The9A5’s will supply you! Buttons, canes, and arm bands will be sold and these will certainly be needed at the Track Meet. Save your dimes and wear the colors, June 11, 1926. 9A PARTY L The long-looked for event, dear to the heart of a 9A, will soon be here. On Wednesday evening, June 16, the 9A class will have its closing program and party. The program will come first and James Stoddart will preside. There will be special features, such as the presentation of the class memorial and the 9A class song. There will be some delightful musical selections, including songs by a 9A chorus. There will also be talks explaining to the parents what Junior high school means to the students, for the one who is leaving school faces that thought frequently and knows some thing about it. Did we say that Mother and Dad are to be invited for the evening? To be sure they are, and in order that all will feel acqua:nted with one another, some novel stunts and interesting forms of entertainment are planned for the social hour following the program. No party is complete without refreshments and ours will be complete in that respect as well. Ice cream, cakes and candies will be served in the lunch room, made festive and gay with decorations.

R. Sifert Now comes the reward; for, as the year draws to a close, each of us will receive some reward. True it is, that this reward will vary, and will have various characteristics, depending greatly upon the effort we have put forth, the sacrifices we have made, and the attitudes we have maintained. Each of us shouli have received some reward in growth as citizens; we should feel more tolerant toward those 9A’s FAREWELL Our farewell to Jefferson will mean the closing chapter of an eventful and enjoyable period oi our school life. Although we will not be present in the future years, we will always have a feeling of deep gratitude for Jefferson and its faculty.

Two Cents In this last issue of the year, I wish to express my appreciation to the reporters who have worked faithfully. Particularly do I wish to thank the editors for their untiring effort and enthusiam. Working with them has been pleasure indeed. Astrid Loftfield Faculty Adviser whose ideas are not the same as ours; we should feel more kindly to him upon whom fortune has not smiled; we should realiz, more keenly that only in our achievements can our parent find compensation for their sacrifices; we should have learned something of the fundamentals that go to make for efficiency in the business and social world; we should have grown in our greatest asset, character; and lastly, we should have improved our respect for the majesty of law and order, our love of home, and our love of country. I congratu’ate the students, teachers, and employees of Jef- that we should be successful in life hereafter. We wish to express our sincere thanks to our ever faithful principal and teacher? for their kindness and thoughtfulness. Hoping that the future PA’s will enjoy their junior high days as much as we have we know they will regret tnat they must bid farewell to Jefferson as we do now.
