The Jeffersonian Page 13 HISTORY OF 310 Continued from Page 6 of our scholastic standing. Our home room honor roll, based on the same principles as those of our school, has been an incentive to each one. The members whose names have occurred most frequently, on this much-to-be-desired list, are Robert Levinson, who has obtained his third scholastic “J,” and Bill Mather, who has obtained one. Other members of our class who have risen to places on this coveted role are: Roberta Shine, Marjorie Waddington, Fathering Wedge, Elaine Cheney, Arleen Bass, and James Mnek. Any worth while school activity could depend upon the hearty co-operation of 310. We have worked faithfully on paper sales and we have fully contributed our part to the 9A memorial fund, by numerous candy sales, as well as active sales work for the movies. And now the time has ripened, when we as a group must say farewell; farewell to our home room adviser, who has been a cheer-leader through all of our countless experiences; farewell to our teachers; and farewell to our classmates. The three years through which we have now passed at Jefferson Junior High are only one step to be recorded on the universal pages of time. ... Room 117 has a picture entitled “Pilgrims Going to Church.” It is a hand colored copy of a painting by George Boughton, an Englishman. The clear cold days of midwinter are shown by the dark blue sky behind the dense forest surrounding the snowy path on which the Pilgrims are walking. It is Sunday and they are going to the church which is separated from the village. All the men except Elder Brewster and Miles Standish wear the same kind of costume. It consists of dark shoes and stockings, knee breeches, a doublet or cape, and a wide brimmed hat. Miles Standish wears the same things with an addition of a breast plate and a smaller hat. Elder Brewster wears dark shoes and stockings, a long skirt-like robe which comes to his shoe tops, and a black, close-fitting cap. The women wear shoes and stockings, a long skirt, aprons and shawls. Everybody seems happy and is conversing merrily, probably about the events taking place in England. The men are looking about for Indians or wild beasts. In this picture the artist has shown the Pilgrims, surrounded by the dangers and hardships that their belief in freedom of worship brought upon them. 320 CLASS HISTORY ' Continued from Pa e 7 we repeated for the P.T.A. A paper sale victory gave us a fine big dictionary and it was with pride and pleasure that we signed our names on the fly leaf. We practiced our 8A powers of persuasion, by begging and beseeching our parents to attend a certain P.T.A. meeting. Although we were only 50 per cent successful our efforts were generously rewarded by the P.T.A. who gave us a cash prize with which we bought a dictionary stand and an ever handy paper cutter. I ter they rewarded our ticket sale efforts for their minstrel show by giving us a framed copy of a beautiful lithograph of Westminster Abbey. We are very grateful to them for this lovely picture. Our members during this year were found in the glee clubs, band, orchestra, Round Table, and Council. 0 yes, there were eighth grade lessons, too. We were especially thrilled in making our little N.E.A. contribution. Omne initium est difficile, or in plain English, every beginning is hard. This proverb proved itself not only in Latin but in all our subjects. What was a community, a gerund, third io conjugation, hypotenuse, and acetylene? How did one ever memorize the keys on a typewriter?-The honor roll shrank noticeably. We did our best in athletics this year. Both the boys’ basket ball team and the girls’ volley ball team played in the finals but lost to our able.opponents. Our paper carrying muscles did not go back on us however, and we claim to have won more sales and carried more tons of paper for the glory of our Junior High than any other class in the history of this school. Procedimus—we are advancing—in fact so rapidly it’s almost time to leave. Memorial movies have been given, while our faithful collectors are trying to assure us an Annual. The political power of our candidates showed itself stronger in the campaign speech making than in vote getting; however, our Council members are giving their best effort to aid our newly elected class officers. As we are nearing promotion we look back with pleasure at these events. We practiced cooperation and hope that future 320’s will do the same. Though we are anxious to go on to Senior High, as our Class poet has said, “We’ll return; for the scarlet and black will bring us back to Jefferson, our Junior High.”

WASHINGTON’S AIRPLANE RIDE Continued from Page I pilots of these machines. The usual rate of speed is from sixty to one hundred miles per hour.” “Impossible!” gasped Washington, “a horse can only make eight miles to the hour.” Lindbergh went on to prove his statement and tell his story. “Lieutenant D’Arcy Grieg made three hundred twenty-one miles per hour in his seaplane. If you want me to prove this I will take you up in my Ryan monoplane.” “Is there any danger?” inquired Washington as he anxiously looked out of the window at an airplane sailing gracefully in the sky. Lindy assured him there was no danger and rushed him to the flying field. “It looks as though it were a monstrous bird,” thought Washington as he scanned the giant plane. Lindy started the motor and soon they were above the clouds. “There was a boom and a crash and then all was still. Lindbergh found himself lying on the floor; he had fallen out of his chair. “It is too bad that it was only a dream,” said Lindbergh as he put on his coat to try out his new plane. MORNING SUSANNE EWALT When I first go into the garden, I cannot see much. Nature is like a white veil upon which odd masses are sketched. Everything smells sweet and moves under the freshening breeze of the dawn. The sun becomes clearer, but it has not yet torn the veil behind which hide the meadow, the valley, and the hills on the horizon. The nightly dews still hang like silver on the cold green grass. The first ray of sun—another ray. The small flowers seem to awake joyously, and each is hung with dew drops. The chilly leaves are moved by the morning air. I see nothing, yet everything is there. The landscape lies entirely hidden by the veil, but the sun finally lifts it and permits me to see the glistening lake, the meadow, and the cottages. The sun has risen. Life begins a new day in the fields and cottages. The flowers lift up their heads and the birds fly here and there. Later the sun scorches the earth. All becomes heavy. The flowers hang their heads and the birds are silent.
