It started with two or three of Mr. Bordetfs classes that decided they would like to have such a club. This year the History Club met on alternate Thursdays. This years History Club officers were Steve Bimm, President; Tina Hallberg, Vice President; Linda Steele, Secretary; and Mike Gessner, Treasurer. Along with other members of the club, the officers help decide what historical places to visit. This year the History Club visited Beattie Park with its Indian mounds, the Hinchliff guest house which until it was torn down was located on the corner of North Main and Indian Terrace, and Tinker Cottage.

It was started by a group of students who wanted to have a Glee Club, if they bought their own music. So, since 1956, the students at Jefferson have had a Glee Club. Mr. Erwin has been the director since this time. The Glee Club now has 68 choir robes which were bought by selling candy.
