On September 22, We Sopho-mores, initiated the Freshman and at the end of the day, treated them by taking them a truck ride to Sunset Skat- ing Rink where they spent the evening. They later returned to Pat Kel1y's for refreshments. A part of the initiation was having to clean the school grounds. We held our class party at the school on October 17 with Mr. and Mrs. Harris and daughter, Cynthia as guests. Bob Switzer, Dick Stuber, Don Charleston, and Francis Wellman are members of the basketball team. Jim Patch is Student Manager and Barbara Lehman serves as Cheerleader. We have all enjoyed our first two years of High School and hope we enjoy our last two just as much. Fourteen

Don Gerber is a proof reader for the Chicago Daily News. Don has been so ab- sorbed in his work that until very recently he has inadvertently eluded the silken man- acles of matrimony. Rumor has it that an attractive heiress is casting coy glances in Don's direction and it is expected that Don will shortly succumb to her blandishments and be, not to unwillingly, hauled down the aisle to the altar. Ruth Lehman is cashier in her husbands Super Duper Market located on State Road 27 just outside of Berne, where she meets customers with her winsome smile. The store features a leader every Saturday which draws customers from miles around. This is a delicious ginger snap wafer made from a secret recipe which Ruthie bakes at home after store hours. Norman Haines, it seems, is one of Jefferson's more illustrious sons. His name is found in Who's Who , due possibly to having written several financially successful agricultural books. He is known in the community as our t'Gentleman farmer due no doubt to the fact that he commutes, on his scooter, between his farm here and Purdue University where he lectures to the Agriculture boys on the latest practical t'wrinkles in farming: Shortly after graduation, Anna and Betty both married the ardent service men who had been haunting their steps for the past several months. In order to be with their husbands the girls both joined the W, A. C. S. Anna obtained an officer's commis- sion and has succeeded in getting Betty elevated to officer's ranking also. The girls have found though that this has its drawbacks because their husbands find it humil- iating to have to salute them on meeting, and furthermore, the girls have been re- primanded on several occasions by their superior officer for having been seen too often consorting with enlisted men ftheir husbands of coursej which the Army considers below the dignity of the rank of an officer. The girls are now frantically appealing to their old Jefferson friends to exert political influence at Washington in order to have their husbands advanced in rank. Leave it to Anna and Betty to find a way to stay with their husbands. Lyle Tumbleson is doing research work for Uncle Sam in Northern Alaska. Lyle, it seems, is doing his utmost to win one of the local Eskimo girls there. The only shadow over the romance seems to be a peculiar propensity of the young lady's mother to regale Lyle with liberal helpings of blubber during his frequent calls at the igloo. She apparently thinks Lyle a trifle thin. Lyle, poor boy, naturally finds this redun- dancy of Eskimo cuisine somewhat more than a bit disturbing. Lyle is planning to spend his honeymoon in the environs of good old Jeff,' so that he and Norman can collaborate on inventing a machine which will help High School kids get their book- keeping. Floreine, after receiving her diploma from Nurses' Training, has taken a position as supervisor of a military hospital. Many of the boys it appears are falling heir to minor ailments, battle fatigue, etc., so that they can bask in the effulgence of Flor- eine's smiling countenance while convalescing. It seems that a certain individual re- ferred to as Junior did it up right and broke his leg so that he could prolong his stay in the hospital for six months. What the outcome of all these incipient romances will be, of course, has Floreine's friends guessing. Gerald Miller, according to report, has tried many different kinds of work but al- ways returns to his first love, basketball. Gerald is now the outstanding player on the famous Piston team and is known by his friends as the Flying Miller , by his oppon- ents as Miller the Killer. We heartily congratulate our classmates on their achievements and wish them all the happiness of a full and satisfying life. Thirteen
