It was all a maze of rooms and doors to us. We crept fearfully along the immense corridors, hoping that we might escape the surging masses of upper classmen. Many times we were approached by these superior beings, who condescended to offer us elevator tickets for a dime, or perhaps direct us to the lunchroom on the third floor. We soon became accustomed to the rules and regulations, and in a short time were in the midst of the school sway, and were entering whole-heartedly into the Jefferson spirit. Among the great and famous school organizations we boasted of having were the follow- ing. Girls’ and Boys Glee Clubs, Camp Fire Girls, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, The Round Table, The Traflic Squad, The Council, and numerous other activities. Before a year had elapsed our class was well represented in the above. After laboring into the wee hours of the morning making sticky pop-corn balls and sugarless candy, we finally gathered together enough receipts from a successful sale of these articles to purchase a copy of Ben Foster’s painting, “Connecticut Hills.” We must admit our shortcomings, however. From an athletic standpoint, after losing three consecutive games, we became accustomed to the sensation and won for ourselves the flattering title “Good Losers.” Even so, our class is well recognized because Continued on Page 13

CLASS HISTORY OF 309 It is impossible to say whether or not the faculty was pleased with our entrance as 7B’s, but we can say that their help and kindness have made every hour of our stay here a pleasure. Of course we were glad to come to this wonderful school. The change from grade school awed us at first, but, with the kind help of other students who gave us elevator tickets, and passes to go up the down stair ways and down the up, we soon became accustomed to Jefferson. Soon the seventh grade did not satisfy us, and we slowly advanced to higher levels, 9A’s! Our careers at Jefferson have been eventful and happy. We are sorry to say that no one in 309 has ever proved himself an outstanding student and received a “J”. However in athletics, good sports, and a will to do good, we have ranked among the highest. Both boys and girls have entered all of the sports, and, in 7A our girls won the kick ball championship with the help of our captain. In the eighth grade we gave a successful candy sale and spent the proceeds for a picture which Continued on Pago 10

Even before lessons were assigned we were confronted with grave problems about lockers, stairways, rooms, and worst of all how to act like anything but a 7B. How we appreciated the help of our new teachers and the silent aid found in the Hand Book! We at once organized our Civic Club with its many chairmen to take charge of home room interests. With enthusiasm we began our new lessons and every six weeks period found some of us on the honor roll. We learned of the African cannibals, nouns, compound interest, rules for dishwashing, and the handling of shop tools, so we felt very educated. We made it a point to take part in all Jefferson activities. Because of our ticket sale for the Operetta, “Feast of the Red Corn,” we became aviators sailing into our beautiful auditorium as guests at the matinee. Our seventh grade banking record led the school, but this thriftiness has decreased pathetically. We enjoyed our school paper and supported it by subscribing promptly and contributing many articles. Our first paper sale triumph was a fourth place honor, but that was the foundation for many victories to follow. Soon we found ourselves in the eighth grade! Oh, how big we felt! Our 7B inferiority complexes had vanished and with confidence we met new ventures. During this year our auditorium was the Lincoln-Washington program, which Continued on Page 13
