Out of a membership of thirty- two, the following officers were elected: Claudia Buckrnaster, president, Lamoi- lee Eogle, vice-president and Jesse W. Snyder, secretary and treasurer. At present there are twenty-seven members, five having dropped out last fall. There are nine different instruments in the orchestra as listed below with the names of the playersg Violin-Alda Sprunger, Jesse W.

' The orchestra has made wonderful progress during the length of time they have played for all were beginners on their instruments and began with the easiest of music. They have advanced steadily and are now able to handle a much more difficult grade of music. This organization has already appeared four times in public, at the.,Earmers, Institute at New Cory-don, Ind., at the Blue Creek Township Parent-Teachers' meeting, at a chicken supper and con- cert given by the orchestra at Jefferson Center and at the High School Com- mencement. Special mention should be made of the chicken supper at which nearly 200 people were served and afterward entertained by the orchestra with a splendid musical p-rogram. Any community could well be proud of musical organization as the Jefferson Center Orchestra has proven itself to be. Every member has shown his interest by his good attendance and hearty coopera- tion in all that the orchestra has undertaken to do. The community has, also, been a great help by showing their interest in this musical education of their, boys and girls. , 3 Athletics The Jefferson Center High School took an active part in athletics during the past year. Many class games were played and also other games. Both teams, girls and boys entered the county tournament. They were eliminated as severalqother teams were, but even so, they did some fine work and a strong team is promising for the future. ' H if V 1 The girls' team won first place upon appearance at the tournament. The boys played some baseball in the fall but since school closed early they will be unable to play this sp-ring. Other schools are waiting for Jefferson to show some good classical athletics. Come on! Let's go. Tm with you. I 161

The difference between a pedagog and a demagog is that one works against ignorance and the other gets a profit out of it. , Pk :if if Personality is that thing about your personal appearance and bearing that gives you a rati-ng.

Qur Appreciation - After all the money that has been spent i-n building our school and equiping it so that it will ,come up to the standard, it is up to us to show those who have worked so untiringly in our interests, that we really appreciate what has been done for us. One of the best ways we can show that appre- ciation we should have, is for us to protect our school property and keep our desks, rooms, school and surroundings in good order and repair. Let us be 100 per cent. students, loyal and true. Let our lives and conduct be such that anybody may point with pride to anyone of us and say, There is a student of Jefferson High School. Raphael Borntrager, '22. The Parent-Teachers' Qrganization During the early part of the year a Parent-Teachers' organization was formed. Mr. Jesse Buckmaster was elected as president of the organization, Elmer Stuber vice-president, and Jesse Snyder as secretary. This organization was formed for the benefit of the parents, mainly, to cooperate wi-th parents, aid in helping the children to get as many benefits as city children and to promote the general welfare of the community. The meetings were held every two Weeks, and it is safe to say that over 150 people were present at every meeting. Excellent programs were prepared at each meeting among which were debates, musical programs, Riley day programs and meetings on all patriotic occasions. We, as teachers of this school, believe that we have been greatly aided through the excellent cooperation of the parents of this school. The success of any busi-ness iirm depends upon its community, and if a community works hand in hand with the head, success is sure to follow. So it is with the school. The school wishes, and encourages every cooperation possible and with these assurances Jefferson High School will advance to that one desired goal: a higher realm of civilization. May these meetings con- tinue to progress as they so far have and that this school will be the coni- munity Center. Ervin DOW- l15l

Grade Department Primary Department Wheii Jefferson Center opened its doors to the Primary children of Jeffer- son Township it was exceedingly surprising to all at the great number of small pupils who came smiling up the walk to take their places. The room in which the first three grades were to be seated was full and overflowing. But no wonder, for there were sixty-six pupils to be accommodated. After three weeks of crowding, Miss Buckmaster was relieved of the third grade which numbered twenty pupils, leaving forty-six in the primary room. This number gradually increased until the total enrolment for the first and second grades was fifty- seven. Of these several have moved away, leaving the enrolment, at the pres- ent time, forty-eight. The pupils of this department have been taught reading, arithmetic, spelling, language, music, physical exercises, games, art, writing and politeness. All have shown good interest and ready to attempt any work given them to do. The library books have been read and re-read, story-telling prac- tised and leadership in games taught.
