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 EXPLOIT OF DAVID AND (JORDON Continued from page 1 “That's a swell idea, and maybe there’ll be a buried treasure there too, was David’s comment. “Aw, there aren’t any treasures left and if there were it would be all jewelry. What would we do with that? “Well, we could give most of it to Mother and I might give just one little bracelet to Sally l»arnes.” “Oh, girls, girls, girls! that’s all you ever think about,” remarked the woman hater disgustedly. All went well with the runaways. A jar of jam, some crackers, cookies, and numerous other things were taken from the pantry shelf to keep the explorers from starving on their long and perilous journey. It was decided to start when all members who might interfere were safely out of the way. To the waiting adventurers it seemed hours before their parents went to their room. In reality it was scarcely nine o’clock. The boys stole silently from the house, each carrying a blanket and a knapsack. Looking back at the house each wondered how many years it would be before they would return to the home of their childhood. When they reached the landing they slipped quietly into a rowboat Which they slid into the water. They rowed on and on in the cool night air. Finally they arrived $t their destination. They fastened the boat and with remarkable courage ventured onto the island which they expected to be their home for months to come. “The first thing we ‘gotta’ do is build a fire to keep the wild animals away, said Dave. “Yeh, and then let’s eat and go to sleep.’ The knapsacks were opened and their contents spread before the two very hungry boys. Without much trouble they managed to consume the larger part of the jam, half the crackers, and all the cookies. “We’ll have to hunt our own food after this, Dave. “Of course, we will. Let's roll in now. I’ll
