Many the hours we’ve spent with thee Pond'ring on English and C. L. P. The paper we’ve brought for your paper sales Would build a pile higher than all our fails; But though we must go you’ll always know That we are for Jefferson High. Jefferson, Jefferson, We bid goodbye to Jefferson. We’ve talked when we shouldn’t in every room. In music wo couldn’t quite sing in tune. More education we leave to learn In West High and Central, but we’ll return; For the scarlet and black will bring us back To Jefferson, our Junior High. AN SB TO THE 9A’S HELEN STEIN METZ The 9A’s are a merry group, Oh! a merry group are they. They bustle around, a-selling tickets, All the live-long day. The 9A’s are a busy group, Gathering subscriptions for the paper. Hear their merry laughter ring, As in and out of rooms they caper. Oh! a happy, merry group are they We’re all very sorry they’re going away, The 9A’s we’ll ne’er forget, Their leaving we’ll e’er regret. Oh! good-bye happy group of 9A’s.

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

WHY I PREFER HUMAN MUSIC ARLEEN BASS (Arleen Bass a 310 member of the 9A class won first prize honors and twenty-five dollars in cash in a local music essay contest with this essay.) I jet us picture for a moment Heethoven the great composer, entering a modem movie house. As he is about to ascend the huge carpeted staircase he pauses a moment and then taps the shoulder of an usher standing near. “Pray tell me,” he requests, “what that sound I hear may be.” The usher looks at the inquirer with a puzzled expression upon his face. “Oh, you mean the music?” “Music!” a look of incredulity appears on the composer’s countenance. “Surely you are mistaken! Music!” He is extremely indignant, but presently his face softens and an amused look appears, as if he were enjoying inward mirth. “Music,” he muses and his smile fades into one of deep pity. “Poor souls,” he murmurs, turning away, “they know not the beauty of real tones.” This is somewhat the same impression we get upon entering a theatre where artificial music is played. The mechanical sound offends our sensitive ears, and if we are used to true music we cannot enjoy the picture through which it plays. Down with canned music! Forward with real musicians! Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
