OUR ACHIEVEMENT In 206 a plan was laid, “We’ll bank one hundred per cent,” they said. The first few weeks the per cent was low. It began to climb, but very slow. The thermometer up on the wall so high, Showed that hot weather soon was nigh. Then on May 18 the big day came. And now we resolve to keep it the same. Note—Room 206 has one hundred per cent in spelling as well as in banking. JEFFERSON JUNIOR HIGH Two years ago, Jefferson was dedicated to the children of this district. The cheerful atmosphere of its clean and well lighted halls and rooms has been an inspiration to every child of Jefferson. The well equipped gymnasiums have been the place of many exciting hours, when different rooms have met in enthusiastic ally fought games of volley ball, basket ball, and diamond ba’l. The various up-to-date shops have satisfied the souls of many boys. The library has been a place where many enjoyable hours have been spent. May Jefferson be appreciated and loved by later Jeffersonians as we have appreciated and loved it in our Jeffersonian days. 9.VS MEMORIAL There is a custom that prompts the students who are completing their studies at school to leave to that school a memorial. This memorial, since it shows the gratitude and love that those who pass on felt for their school, keeps alive these feelings in the minds of those students who are still there. With this idea in mind, the 9A’s of both the winter and June classes, worked to raise a fund that shall be used to buy pictures for Jefferson. This fund has been materially increased recently as the 9A home rooms have all contributed a share, and each one’s contribution has been different. Movies have been shown, candy and pop com have been sold, a recital was sponsored, a vaudeville program was produced, and booster buttons were sold. The entertainment ha? been varied and in no case has the cost been more than ten cents per student, yet the total is unbelievably large, showing that the 9A efforts have been fully rewarded by the enthusiasm and good will shown by the large audiences that have attended every performance. The total amount now in this fund as this paper goes to press is over $400.

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.

Page 4 The Jeffersonian Monday, June 7, 1926 PRESIDENTS COUNCIL The electing of the home room presidents is always a widely discussed subject. In this respect, the home room groups have shown decided and wise selections. They have shown fine judgment in other activities and elections, particularly in the elections of presidents. No more suitable group for a council than the presidents could therefore be chosen. The purpose of this organization is to incite a co-operative attitude among the presidents and to enable them to deliver announcements to their home rooms, allowing the other students lo give their undivided attention to the project. We are indebted to the presidents for a number of organizations and interesting activities to which they have given careful attention. The most valuable activities have been to institute the traffic squad an:l introduce Ihe suggestion for a hind book for Jefferson. The officers of the Council are Warren Bugbee, president; G'a iys Buck, vice president; and | Leonard Osborne, secretary. OUR SHOPS F. P. The purpose of manual train-' ing in the school curriculum is not as clearly understood as it should be. Do you know that manual training, broadly speaking, consists of any object mads by hands and tools in any kind of material, whether it be clay, leather, paper, metal, or wood? Have you ever thought of the many advantages that a course in manual training offers? By making things, a boy learns a knowledge of tools and material and the every day processes of handling the same. This training provides prevoca-tional experience for the boy who leaves school early and thus gives him an idea of what work ! to choose. It is particularly valuable in giving the boy an opportunity to test his own powers abilities, and likings. Not least in importance is the value that comes from the social pleasures that a boy obtains through thi use of tools and materials in working out his many hobb:es. Thus shop work of all kinds VIOLETS Louise Paulson Purple violets love to lie. Facing the azure of evening sky, Nestled in their grassy beds, With leaves drawn o'er their drowsy heads. All modestly swaying at sunup each day, Each nodding, and bowing, in her own dainty way, Happy to gaze but one day at the sky, For each little flower w ll soon wither and die. And yet each gives up her beautiful life, To add some joy to the world’s dull strife And each tender flower in her purpled dress, Helps someone forget his deepest distress. tends to benefit th individual boy by help ng him to bring himself to a symmetric al, balanced manhood, rightly and happily placed in the world. In so doing, society is strengthened and the public good is conserved.
