THOMAS JEFFERSON LEONARD THRESHER Thomas Jefferson, the rich man with simple tastes, who was called the Pen of the Revolution, wrote the Declaration of Independence, was third President of the United States, and did what others could not do. He was born in 1743, and as a child he surprised his parents and later his school friends by his intelligence, industry, and thoroughness. He was skilled in athletics and always won in games of riding, swimming, and other outdoor sports. He studied very hard, as much as fifteen hours a day, yet he was not a book worm. He excelled in both sports and studies. He was lively, full of fun, and a great enthusiast in all he did. Thomas Jefferson was a patriot. He was an earnest statesman, and did a great deal toward bringing about the Revolution. He was noted for his foresight and planning. In 1801 he became third President of the United States of America. During his administration, the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory was probably the greatest thing he did for the United States. Through all his busy years he did not forget his wife and children. Jefferson’s home life was exceedingly happy. He was responsive and affectionate toward those he loved. Thomas Jefferson was a great man, a patriot, and a worker. Can we ever live up to the name of our school ?

The students still continue on the quest for beauty. They pause before the pictures and as they get visions of rare beauty, they likely are unaware that what they see is but a reflection of the beauty within themselves. Without beauty within, there can be no beauty without. To really live one must have beauty. The students continue their quest for more beauty. Never put ofT for tomorrow what you can do today. I never consider a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. —JEFFERSON
