Memory Edition of The Jeffersonian by The June Class 1927 TiP v V. •i THE SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON 9A Memory Edition, Jefferson Junior Hi|fh School, Minneapolis, Minnesota, June. 1927 JEFFERSON SPIRIT Elizabeth Engel As school draws to a close, pupils are recounting: the achievements of the year. They speak with pride of our victories in contests, and of the work accomplished in the class room. Out of these efforts to win and accomplish has come another victory that will mean much to the school in the years to come. It is th � Jefferson spirit. It means loyalty, citizenship, «nd hard work. We can better understand the meaning: of the .I , fferson spirit when we look at the life of Jefferson, in whose honor our school was named. Jefferson was ambitious; he set high standards and great tasks for himself, and his country. lie was never satisfied with the commonplace. If Jefferson were a boy in this school today, he would require himself to be on the Honor Roll. He would earn a place for himself on our athletic teams. The students would find him a leader in the affairs of the school, working: for its welfare. From early childhood Jefferson had a great purpose and a lofty ambition. That is the spirit that wins. In the days of Thomas Jefferson much thought was given to the rights of others. He believed that we should do all we can to help o‘her people enjoy life. They have rights that we should respect. The good citizen, therefore, should make it a part of his business to obey the laws. G axI citizenship is all-important in the welfare of the country. Let us rememlier that it is equally as important in the welfare of our school. Good citizenship is the highest expression of Jefferson spirit. What could exceed the loveliness of a day in June? The effervescent song of a bluebird the symbol of happiness, and the occasional buzz of a bee break the stillness. The gurgle of a brook, rippling along its grassy banks to the wide, open sea can be heard. The green meadows are flecked with daisies and brown-eyed Susans. Two brilliant, yet daintily powdered wings of a butterfly add their lustre to the picture. In the night, the moon, in her majestic splendor, casts her soft, radiant light over the happy, dreaming world. To me, this expresses the delightful beauty of June. While reading the Deacon’s Masterpiece, Miss Nason asked Ray Thiss how he knew the main character was a deacon. He answered, Recause he didn’t swear when the buggy broke down.” WHAT IS THRIFT? Doris Ann Mac For ran What is thrift? Noah Webster says: Thrift: 1. A thriving condition. 2. Prosper- ity, industry, lal or, economy; 3. Growth, as of a plant.” Which is the most important of these? There is a variety of opinion, perhaps. It seems to me, howev - thr tlr most important is economy. 11 asked to give a definition of Thrift,” you would probably say, Thrift means to save money.” Can we possibly save money without economizing? Then, what is economy but the judicious expenditure of our money? Economy is essential to Thrift! Thrift is a thriving condition, says the dictionary. That is a good definition, certainly. Rut is your bank-book in a thriving condition? I o you spend your allowance, left over at the end of the week, instead of saving it, saying, There is more where that came from?” Does your account thrive? To grow, as a plant! We all wish to grow, not in our liodies only, but we wish to expand our Intellect. Thrift makes us grow! Ia?t us expand our knowledge! Go to college on the money we save in our school years. Everyone wants to go to college! One must have a good education to make one’s way in the world, and make it a success. It is said that money is the root of all evil, but if used with an amount of discretion, worlds of good can be done with it. Thrift is industry, labor. Just what does it mean to be industrious? Do you labor for he money that you put in the bank, or does it come from Dad’s pocket? There is an old saying, and a wise one, Money does not grow on bushes.” Someone works for your money, why not you ? Thrift is the base on which the monument of prosperity is erected. Are you thrifty? If r.ot, why not? Thrive on Thrift! After all, nothing much can be accomplished in life without money.

THK TRANSFER BUSINESS E. R. Sifcrt Sometimes one wonders, as various groups go on from one school to the next, whether or not we fully realize the importance of profiting by other people's experience. I)o we realize that, if we were to depend entirely upon experience for all our information, and if we were to secure no information from the experience or thinking of any other person, our sum total of knowl edge by the time we are 50 would probably not exceed that of the present day child of four or five years of age? In fact, we might bt pretty safe in saying that the child of today, who is four or five years of age, has acquired more knowledge by profiting from the experience and thinking of others than he could possibly master in a life time were he to depend entirely upon his own experiences. How wonderful it is then that we, as young people, recognize the importance of the experience of thosr who are more versed in the ways of the world than we. True, we could refuse to accept many of their statements and start out to verify them ourselves, but to do so would mean that we were setting up as our ultimate goal, a fund of knowledge probably equal to that of AN APPRECIATION I wish to express my appreciation to all the students and teachers who have helped produce the Jeffersonian this year. Particularly do I wish to thank the Editorial and Mechanical staffs. It has been a great pleasure to work with students who were so willing to labor hard without thought of reward. J. L. McRae, Adviser and Instructor of Printing. the five year old child of today. How wonderful it is that we may profit by the experience and thought of other people! We should, no doubt, be highly selective in the things that we are going to believe and accept, but once new information is presented to us, and proven, we may do well to accept it with all the faith that we have in information we know to be true because of having experienced it ourselves. Our public schools are nothing more than mere transfer stations, wherein the proven experiences and thought of millions of people are passed on to each of the students of that school. We believe and rejoice in the fact that the members of the 9A class have gathered to themselves their share of this proven know-ledge and in formation in this greatest transfer business theworld has ever known.

His face was a Blank, and his queue was waving in the Wind. Purdy soon he heard the dinner Bell at the Harris farm ring. He was vainly hoping someone would Cary him some bread or a Bone for his supper. Night was falling fast, when suddenly his heart was Pierced by Steele, a W(h)ite man. Sifert out as you Wisely may. The scholastic “J” represents the highest honor Jefferson can give a student. The requirements are that the student have been on the honor roll five times out of six in one year. Jefferson has 18 pupils receiving that honor this June. This shows considerable increase over the number receiving pins in January. MY FIRST YEAR AT JEFFERSON Elsa Freeman Trembling with fear, yet bubbling with joy, 1 wended my way toward Jefferson. September 7, 1926, wondering what this large institution had to offer me. A strange feeling entered my heart; 1 was leaving the scenes of my grade school days to become a part of a larger and more advanced seat of learning. Every person, everything was different. At Jefferson, 1 first began to realize that in the world I must be able to work with all types of people. This school has taught me self-reliance, how to handle money with a thrifty intent, how to be a go-getter, and to meet all situations cheerfully. It has also given me many beautiful friendships which I cherish greatly. I feel that I now begin to look upon life with a broader view. May the two years I have still to spend in Jefferson leave as fine an impression upon me as the first year has made.

Murlul tjardner TWO SCHOOLS OIku Kuchynka Before 1 came to America four years ago. I went to school in Prague Bohemia, which was called Vyssi Divci. I think that you would be interested to know the difference between the two schools. 1 think that many of the American children would not like to go to school there for they are kept under much stricter rules. Both the boys and girls have a different school building, although this is not true in the small villages. The Bohemian children go to school until they are 14 years of age, starting at six in first grade having five years of grade school and three years of high schcol. The pupil then may go to the University, College, or Conservatory, if desired. The work is indescribably different, for they start at an entirely different point. In first grade they begin to use pen and ink. have arithmetic, reading, writing, and many other, things that the Americans do not have until they get to second or third grade. The children go to one grade for ten months, Mrs. Jacobs: Use more elbow grease and less soap. Bright Girl from 311: Mrs. Jacobs, we haven’t any elbow grease at our sink. Miss Blank: Spell “cloth.” Jimmy: (Silent). Miss Blank: Well, what is your coat made of? Jimmy: Father’s old pants. or a school year, getting their report cards every two and a half months. The marking system is also different. 1 is A. 2 is B, and so on. Europe’s schools are not so large nor so beautiful as here, but I think they are just as effective for many an American goes there to complete his education. We find that in Europe the children have much more self control and respect than here. This is shown by their actions toward their elders. Even though the Bohemian schools mean a great deal to me, I would not trade them for Jefferson. Page 12 The Jeffersonian GRAMMAR Jamcn DeWitt Kline Grammar! Oh, that grammar! We find it all around. There's grammar in an aeroplane, there’s grammar on the ground. There's so much grammar in this world, it's everywhere we look, hile most of us have always thought we’d find it in a book. Grammar’s prettj near as old as the h.story o this earth; In fact, it is so very old we do not know its birth. The people of the long ago used grammar in their time. Just us we use it today in story and in rhyme. If it wasn’t for the grammar in the Gettysburg address Poor Lincoln would be out of luck in literature, I guess. The same with Patrick Henry when he made hi: battle cry; He wouldn’t be worth sneezing at if grammar was not by. And think of Georgie Washington, who with his bright new ax, Cut down his father’s cherry tree in just a few big hacks. What would poor George have ever done, he’d sure feel awful cheap If grammar was not near him to give him parts of speech? So if you’re going to be an author, or perhaps an “Honest Abe’’— You had better learn your grammar or your dreams will start to fade. I know it isn’t easy, so for your sake and mine, I’ve written down the “Parts of Speech;’’ they’ll help you out just fine. First of all there come the nouns. You’ll laugh at them, I know. For all they do is name things, like cow, and dish, and crow. These are just the common nouns, here’s how the propers go— Harry, John, or Dorothy, or any person’s name, you know. Next there come the adjectives. They are so very queer. For instead of naming, they describe, like beautiful. and dear. Then there come our trusty verbs, who always have the floor. DIARY OF A DESERTED SCHOOL HOUSE Priscilla Rinehart June 17: Everyone is in a bustle over what seems nothing at all. In fact, I should like to- cry because the children are so glad to lea.e me. You see. it is the last day of school until September, and the children are so excited they even write on my sides! I shall be glad to have a rest from holding these heavy, careless children inside me. July 4: Nothing exciting happened until this morning. when a crowd of children came along, shooting guns and large red things. Personally, 1 think someone must have left the doors of he insane asylum open! Hut don’t tell anyone I said so. July 5: Two men came and fixed my insides all over again. It was a very painful piocess. September 3: 1 can hardly wait until the children come back, even if they are unruly! I have been long enough without company. Hecause the sentence gathers round him like an apple round its core. As most verbs show action, they are very easily found. Like ate. sat. diank. or did or a verb phrase like has found. Next comes our good old adverb, who is like the adjective. Hut he never yet described a noun, he takes the verbs instead. Then there are conjunctions right here at our command; They make two sentences in one. The common one is and. Next comes preposition, with all his partner nouns. And all his ins and intos. he almost makes me frown. Then last comes interjection, who has the habit of exclaiming “Danger!” or “Help, I’m lost!” He does not need explaining. Now, if you wish a fortune and o’er the countryside be known Remember all your parts of speech, at least until you’re grown. O.H) KERN ’ r 4 T- I - S2?r « f
