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

Page 4 The Jeffersonian CLASS HISTORY OP ROOM 307 How grand w© felt, three years ago, coming for the first time to a Junior High School. Upon our arrival at Jefferson we, the students of 307, were much overcome by the immense capacity of this new home of ours. We slowly ascended the seemingly endless flights of stairs to our home room, and sank nervously and unsteadily into the depths of huge seats. Our home room teacher, Miss Bickel-haupt, helpfully instructed us as to the rules and regulations of our new school. The innumerable rooms and teachers gave us a feeling of the hard work which they represented. Finding our way around the halls without interrupting a Latin class, a mathematics class, or a class taking an important test, was at first exceedingly hard. Often, at such times, we would lc ok foolishly around and see the 9A students Taughing at us, and often wondered how they had so much time to talk for we spent all our time locating our class rooms. As we went further into the field of knowledge and rose in the estimation of those who were in grades lower than ours, there came a feeling common to us all—the spirit of the class of June 1929. We organized a Civic League which helped us realize the importance of co-operation. After attending Jefferson several months we began having sales of various kinds. We have had five of these sales, each of which proved very successful, and helped greatly towards increasing our room fund, which, by the way, is the largest of any single room fund ever accumulated at Jefferson. Very recently we have taken this money and purchased two memorials for our own room, one a bronze bust of Colonel Lindbergh, the other a very exquisite colored etching of the Ancient Bridge at Bruges by Van Sun ter. These were not easily obtained, as it took three years to earn the money. Continued on Page 10 HISTORY OF 207 “Upon your arrival at Jefferson go to room 207 for further directions,” stated a small white c rd that had been given to us. And that was the beginning of it. On Tuesday, September 7, 1926, forty bewildered but happy little 7B’s wended their way to this school. The boys and girls of 207 were those 7B’s and we have taken an active part in the school activities ever since. From the beginning our teachers realized that there were some outstanding students in our g:oup. Our leader, Annette Strand, has won three scholastic “J’s” while Ann Avery, Helen Dickenson, Irene Dwyer and Aileen Dwyer, Patricia Weld, and Saul Benjamin are all honor students. Although we have met and finally conquered such monsters as graphs, square root, occupational bocks, and verbals in the field of knowledge, the place where our members have shone as brilliant stars is in the field of sports. The girls led by their illustrious captain, Annette Strand, gained the championship in volley ball, and base ball during their eighth grade year, and again in ninth grade they came out the winners. Although the boys have never been champions they have been runners-up in hockey, baseball and basketball. We have sponsored three candy sales, obtaining enough money to purchase two beautiful pictures which hang on the walls of 207. We furthermore took an active part in the management and sale of tickets for the 9A movies. We were active in the paper sales and won high place in two. We have come to the completion of our 9A year. It is with regret that we say farewell to the friends we have met during our junior years. On the other hand, we anticipate much pleasure as we pass on to higher fields of knowledge. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.

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
