MnrKntrtt White, Kvelyn Green, Robert Kuril and Mr Thomaa A STORY Annie Wilkins One lazy afternoon in July, as 1 was walking in a wood near Bickelhaupt, I beheld this sight: A Dunn-colored coolie sat fishing for Peick in a Brook which was bordered by Uusselling Hultcrantz trees. 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.

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.
