School Emblem REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS Once a semester the faculty consider the various members of the Nine A Classes to determine which boy and which girl has, in their judgment, best exemplified the junior high school spirit and lived up to the ideals and standards of Jefferson in the most exemplary manner during the three years. It is sometimes hard to decide, for Jefferson stu- dents are trustworthy and eager to serve their school at every turn. Personality, scholarship, athletics, dramatic and musical ability are all taken into account, but a stud- ent need not qualify in all of these lines. Any member of the faculty may propose one or more candidates. When the names are all in, the votes are taken and the boy and girl receiving the highest number of votes are declared elected. Other plans for electing the representative student are be- ing discussed and the one now followed may be displaced by another. A button is awarded to the boy and a pin to the girl on whom the honor is bestowed. The 'monogram of the school, a gold J. J. H., appears on a field of blue en- amel. The eight sides ofthe octagon emblem typify the many-sidedness of its wearers, and the all-round develop- ment for which the school stands. 15
