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.

Page 6 The Jeffersonian JEFFERSON JR. HIGH BAND The band has been active this year under the supervision of Mr. Thomas. Their cheerful music has helped make many of our programs spirited and enjoyable. Six 9A boys will move on and thus open up places for next year. We shall miss them but we hope that others will make use of the opportunity to join and “carry on.” The 9A boys who will leave us are John Harty, Charles Green. Richard Anderson, Byron Cas-person, Myron Sandberg, and Dan Williams. FAYS OF THE FLOATING ISLANDS The Girls’ Glee Club gave an operetta on January 26, entitled “The Pied Piper of Hamelin,” at which $150.00 was taken in. They are now working on a cantata, “Fays of the Floating Islands,” which is to be given the second week in June, as part of a benefit program. The money obtained will be used for the purchasing of orchestra instruments. The Boys’ Glee Club has also contributed its part to Jefferson. On May 8. while playing tennis. Warren Blaisdell, Cyrus Barnum, Jr., Francis Gregory and James Warren were struck by lightning. Warren Blaisdell was the only one who was injured. He was struck in the back of the neck, the bolt passing through his clothes, making a hole through the side of his shoe. They sponsored a film, “The Shriek of Araby,” which was enjoyed by all. They have assisted Jefferson in numerous programs and have promised us a surprise program to be given sometime before the end of the semester. The proceeds will go to the bene fit fund. Monday, June 7, 1926 VAUDEVILLE SHOW A SUCCESS The Vaudeville Show, sponsored by rooms 310 and 308 Friday, May 14, was a grand success, and swelled the Memorial Fund by some $83. Although the show was backed by 310 and 308, performers from several rooms contributed their valuable services.
