It is no wonder then, that with these teeming interests, school days go all too quickly. These school memo- ries should be a lasting joy throughout life. But alas, as we travel forward in this big world these precious memories dim and blur. We, the Senior Class, feel that this year- book instils deeper interest in school ideals and purposes, stimulates morale, and develops character. We hope that these preserved and valuable treasures, when read in future years, will bring back a host of rich memories. .QEV EDIT OR 3 CRITERION Neatediy-li-lLio Right.

F1 -E DEDICATION For twelve years our teachers have labored tirelessly in an effort to give us a good fundamental education. Their task would have been a great deal harder had it not have been for the equally tireless effort of another group. To this group fell the majority of the responsi- bilities of influencing and shaping our lives. They have laughed with us when we were happy, comforted us when we were sad, cared for us when we were sick, corrected us when we did wrong, and helped us in everway possible. To use a time-worn statement, we have caused much of that gray that is sprinkled through their hair. For these reasons, we are more than happy to dedicate this Criterion to our mothers and fathers in appreciation for all they have done for us.

UP-O0 F1-I 'I -DFI DO 1 ALMA MATER Z-SB Q, BUILDERS An old man going a lone highway Came at evening cold and gray To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed at the twilight dim. The sullen stream had no fear for him. But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. Old Man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength with building here: Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this wayg You've crossed the chasm deep and wide: Why build you this bridge at eventide? The builder lifted his old gray head. Good friend, in the path l've come, he said, There followed after me today A youth whose feet must pass this wayg This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall beg He, too, must cross in the twilight dim. Good friend, l'm building this bridge for him. Certainly this poem teaches us an unforgettable lesson of unselfishness--- a Christian spirit of helpfulness. We at jefferson High School recognize and appre- ciate such an attitude day by day as we enjoy the fine friendships of classmates and teachers. To the class of 1948 we raise a note of praise. The graduating seniors not only have been cooperative, they have given us all a challenge. First, they de- serve recognition for hard work and harmony within their own group. Secondly, they merit our plaudits for a fine spirit of unselfishness. This class rated a first when they decided to purchase and present their memorial gift in the first semester of their Senior year. Their selection of a two-way inter cornmunical system was indeed gratifying to all underclassmen and faculty. Certainly they were building a bridge in the twi1ight of their years at dear old Alma Mater. As this third edition of the Criterion is being issued to you, the seniors are saying farewell to the happiest days of their lives. Let us not shed tears, for if we are builders we all have work to do. We are charged with the responsi- bility of creating a bigger and better jefferson for the children of our alumni. Our philosphy of education here at jefferson embraces the policy of build- ing the whole child or individual. lt is our constant aim to train the mind for useful thinking. We strive to perfect our knowledge of the fundamental subjects. As we need new modern equipment and teaching aids to do the job, we hope to attain it. As better trained teachers are necessary we propose to add them. ll Builders - Continued. Good learning can only come to healthy children. For this reason we are leading the schools of Preble County in our health program. To date we are the only school to systematically check the hearing and sight of all pupils. Likewise we have had dental clinics two consecutive years. Good food of proper nutritive balance is now being served in our remodeled cafeteria, which is second to none in this section. We all understand that our greatest blessing is good health. Success and happiness usually go hand-in-hand. To this end we strive to . build a well-balanced program of extra-curricular activities. Student participation on a wide scale brings a sense of satisfaction to our boys and girls. Dramatics, athletics and clubs are the avenues for release of much mental and physical energy, Our spiritual and moral well being is nurtured by the Y'Teens and Hi-Y. Coup- led with these organizations is the Inter Class Council which is constantly endeavor- ing to keep our thoughts and actions on a very high plane. May we suggest in pass- ing that the addition of our Art Course has done much to strengthen our cultural side of life? Of course we all recognize music as the universal language which does much to enliven and elevate our school spirit. Some authorities may call this mental Hygiene, but whatever it is, we believe in it. This whole article may strike you as a little bragging on ourselves. Maybe it is. The credit for our success does not go to any single individual or group. The credit for our success depends upon the close harmony and-cooperation of the Board of Education, Parent-Teacher-Association, faculty, pupils and school patrons. If you will but reflect for a mere moment, then you will discover that you have had a small part in our building of bridges . To you then, goes the credit. Personally I have enjoyed the many warm friendships of the year and I wish you all success and God-Speed. I Y: our Friend Herschel W . Sanders Superintendent e 12 LEARN FIRST, THEN LIVE The earth is a modern laboratory and all life is a continuous experiment. The greater the nurnber of experiments, the greater the fund of knowledge. The old adage live and learn will always be necessary ,.to increase the story of knowledge. This method of learning is very costly in time, money, and sufferage. For example, the government, home life and social life have made great steps in progress but at the enormous cost of thousands of years of suffering and strife through countless generations. Due to this expense, society has devised a more mo- dern and economical method, namely, Learn then Live . By this method one person may pass through the experiences of innumerable generations and profit by their successes and failures. The general approval of this method by civilized peoples has led to the establishment of our Public School Sys- tems . We accept the findings of others in Science and Discovery but in the field of social life we seem to think that our own experiences are the only ones that can be relied upon. The overcrowded conditions of penal institutions are mute testimonies of the fallacy of this method. Had these people accepted the finding of others relat- ing to social life, perhaps they would be free. I do not mean, to say that there should be no experimentation in society under laboratory conditions, but wholesale experimentation on the part .of every individual does not make for progress but chaos and destruction. It is because of the realization of these facts on the part of our educators that they have incorporated in our courses of study, in addition to the customary academic studies, courses in sociology and social hygiene. They are thus making it possible for our younger generations to follow the newer and more economical principle of learning then living. By following this method our future citizens will be a much more efficient and capable class because of increased energy and capacity developed through this mode of living. I therefore appeal to all younger generations to discard the old andextravagant plan of live and learn . With the will of God Almighty and His love and guidance adopt the newer and better method, Learn First, Then Live . Luther W .

This was thebeginn- ing of years of learning, full of warm, understanding friendship, but to this day is felt by every one of them. Those who have been united with that bond are still carrying the customs of Dear Old jefferson . From these twelve babes of jeff , we can remember Betty West, having her pigtails tied together by Fleet-Fingered Bill Owens. There was little Miriam Knox with the big bow in her short, blonde tresses, sitting in front of Dimple- Cheeked Buddy Kemper. Next, we sight the Curly-Tops of the class, Robert Pickett and Edith Mull, and who would have thought that Myron Arnett could have gotten in those tiny seats? Well, he did, and he and jackie Hughes were always gi- ving the class a good show. Two more blondes, Carolyn Brown and Meredith Wesler, followed by cousins, Bob Ray and Richard Nelson had timidly entered, not knowing they would be the venturesome souls to weather twelve years of schooling together. Meeting the second grade, Miss Brazier contended with the same shining faces, and on to the third with Miss Rentz, still growing with more knowledge and friend- ship, In Miss Murray's fourth grade, we were confronted with new faces, those of our little Texas friend jane De Boo and another Curly-Top , Edward Hornsby. Miss Harris opened the fifth grade door for another personality, that of Irish Donna jean McGunnegill. On to the sixth with Miss Holsinger, new faces were again admitted. This time we met quiet, devilish Eugene Roberts, little Chubby Virginia Culbertson, quiet Frank Frech, and in the middle of the term popped in our little farmer-friend Melvin james. With a peek into the eighth grade we saw another tractor-driver, john Stiver and smiling Betty Coddington, being admitted to the Homestead . Through the ninth we were able to endure each other with no new-comers, then in the tenth a big wind blew from across the Indiana State Line and Farmer-girl Marilyn Delk and City-Slicker Allie Smith blew in. By the time we held the title of juniors, we had a feeling of distinction and with hard efforts we presented our class play Campus Quarantine , and then we honored the Seniors of '47' with an ideal banquet. And now for this final year, we are as one. All participating in our activities and our social work. We now stop and think of all those times, some spent in quiet meditation, others in loud, boisterous fun-making. From these experiences we have grown to know each other, not only as an individual, each for his own way, but as one class--each for each other's way. We leave jefferson with our appreciation for these times together, and our thankfulness of the knowledge we have gained and now we pass on hoping our names beneath our pictures will be written not only for the distinction of us, but also will be registered in the heart of jefferson. 17 THE SECRET LIFE OF MISS KEMPY OR ' ' SEN ORISM-' ' Miss Kempy was a teacher. Miss Kempy was an unusual teacher, She was a teacher with a smile, a sense of humor that peeped through the iron curtain of re- strain that ordinarily drapes a teacher's face. Miss Kempy was a happy teacher, even carefree was a correct adjective. Perhaps you, readers, have noticed I speak in the past tense, Miss Kempy was a happy and carefree teacher! That was Miss Kempy before the school year 1947-1948. Nowadays, Miss Kempy remembers that year more vividly than any other date in history---and she knows them all. I shall tell you why she remembers. You see, she can't forget it because of dreams. Yes, dreams that began to plague her sleepless nights shortly after September, YI947, and then gradually ceased after May, 1948. It was then that the class of '48' grad- uated from that southwest room. Oh! She remembers that class, but in an odd, strange way--the way dreams drift into sight, startle you, then fade away and leave you face to face with the question, How could I've stood it? There was that first dream, for instance. Blue walls, a white bookcase, aneat teacher's desk and Miss Kempy standing on the globe of the world. Stretched out before her were the members of the class of '48'. King Kemper was watching Dicky Boy Nelson count a stack of gold coins. Yep, we have 'noughf Let's buy something for dear 'ole jefferson that will help us be' heard everywhere. , Oh, I'd rather buy a television system--we could be seen too g this coming from Blonde Miriam slowly stroking the comb through her hair as she gazes a- cross the room. Be sure and - Q a long pause here while he yawnsl - have punch-buttons put on it. I'd hate to have to - Qanother yawnj - work using the thing, Sleepy Rob- erts blinks his eyes as he finishes and is out again. About this time the world turned, and Miss Kempy rolled down the hall to the office. Thus, the Public Address System was ordered. So the first dream ended and Miss Kempy began to realize that Senorism ala' class '48' had set in. That was in November. From then on, dreams were plen- tiful and swirling activities of the class haunted her throughout the nights, as well as the days. To be truthful, it was difficult to distinguish between actual happenings and dream sequences. Confusing as it seems, here is Miss Kempy's memory of the class of '48'. lDreamly speaking, that is.l It was in December when a nightmarish dream presented itself several times. There gliding about the southwest room was stately Betty Lou, her quiet being and .demure smile camouflaged by a terrified look as she mumbled things like Is this a dagger I see before me--or is it Mr. Allen? Tomorrow and tomorrow and to- morrow , or in a hawkish voice question-mark Delk would say, The raven him- self is hoarse that croaks! Allie Smithy fthe delight of Zanny Zur of the South roomj brightly yelled out Who wou1dn't be hoarse with all these lines to remember? And he wants them in order, too! So life was reflected to Miss Kempy when the class of '48' was learning Macbeth. 18 Senorism - Continued. As the year bumped along, certain dreams became familiar, even tiresome after the third or fourth time. Such a drearn. first staged its debut in january some- time. The triangle dream it was--in one corner of the thundering hall between pe- riods stands Dicky Boy and Donny jean --in the second corner of the second period stands Quiet Wesler and Donny Jean --and in the third corner fxgmemher it's a triangle, of the third period stands, you guessed it, Donny jean intently murmuring they love me-they love me not-they love me-- then the bell rings- for whom the bell tolls poor Donny never knows! - Then there was the Hall Dream, starring the ever-present Senior Stand-bys. Stationed along the west wall Hughes and johnson, Inc. , usually did a thriving business. Near the water fountain fin case things became too hot, no doubtj were the one o'clock jumpers, Convertible Bud , Tin-Flute Hornsby pleasantly corner- ed by certain Soft-mores. Wandering up and down, obviously thinking the hall was a basketball floor, strolled Shorty Arnett, everyone's idol. After enticing these cha- racters into the room Miss Kempy might even have a government class. Even that was usually more a thing of dreams than reality. As if these daily dreams weren't enough, Miss Kempy experienced during tnc months of Spring a colossal super-production of a dream. lt was a review or pre- views of things not done and done! And the cast was all three rings of the class circus.

And to face whst??? Ahhh, Yes!!! The day has come. As we so sorrowfully stand before the mirror and scrub and comb, we think of our good old days we spent with Jefferson--with that precious thought in mind we make our way into New Paris to meet the other unfortunate Senior victims who upon this day are being shot , U Have we forgone all these twelve years learning our Hreadinf, ritin' and rithmetic and to become Mamma's big boys and girls now to parade fearfully into our house of exe- cution? Certainly not!! We will take it as it comes. That is the exact prologue to the story of the Senior Class as they left that early September morning to have their pictures shot by Howard Knoll. The boys, being johnny-jump-Ups , were as feathered birds and practically flew, while the girls were more reluctant to have prirnping time and were caught off bound by a little road-side inn called the Flamingo , here they swapped tales over steaming drinks. By the time the girls arrived the boys had been shot , and after the girls went be- hind the firing lines they were ready to scour Dayton, the boys going one way, the girls another. Of course rumors go, the boys hit the Mayfair. fBut don't you believe itj. Noon found both boys and girls among the pastures of the Purple Cow , there's where we really showed them what fingers wer- ins- lhmvt believe that either---we 'used our forks., Again we branched through Dayton. The girls and Miss Kemp went shopping while some of the boys were fascinated by the esculators. After shopping, the girls drifted into W.l.N.G. Dayton Broadcasting Station. We were led into the office and introduced and then taken to the station where many ladies, few gentlemen were on the Sunny-Side-Up pro- gram. Lo and behold!! we were made guests and Miss Kemp spoke and announced who we were. After giving a short exhibition of our singing over the air, Miss Kemp surprised us all by telling that Donna, Edith, and Betty could sing in a trio. Three knee-knocking girls gave a version of Sentimental Reasons . Then the thing that made all Jefferson---espev ially Miss Kemp, blush, and the thing that the Seniors could probably bribe her for is now being printed for all to see. Nothing to be ashamed of, but something to sure get teased about, as she already has been, MISS KEMP GOT KlSSED?!! QOn a radio program, in pub- lic, with everyone watching--isn't that scandalous?f With a heart breaking melody, jack Wyrnan sweetly serenaded her with How Many Times , first from bended knees, then with her on his lap, next with him on hers. Quote jack Wyman, I always wanted to kiss a teacher , quote Miss Kemp, from clenched teeth, Will my students love this!! Unquote. Feeling rather baloon-headed from our experience over the air, we made our way to Keith's Theater to see Bing. Crosby starring in Welcome Stranger, The boys having drifted into groups, wandered around Dayton, some shopping for re- cords and other articles, some to a movie, and others just loafing. Most of them were home before the girls, something very irregular. ' The' girls after a delightful supper at Maude Mi1ler's pointed lights toward home base thus ending a very pleasant day. Probably the nicest execution we will ever face! Note: We were very satisfied with the results of the pictures and hope the Seniorsof '49' will have the swell time we had. Senior Class of '48' 23 SENIOR PROJECT S Every year the Senior Class is faced with the problem of a class memorial. They must decide on something to leave the school that will be useful to the school and that they will be proud to say was their class memorial. This year the Class of 48 made a slight change in the policy of putting the memor- ial into use. Instead of waiting until the end of the year as previous classes had done,we decided to choose and install our gift early in the year so that everyone could get theben- efit of it at once. After some deliberation, we hit upon what we feel is a very useful and beneficialmem- orial. We decided on a Two-Way Public Address System . This system was purchased and installed in December with the dedication ceremonies being held on December 9th. Originally, this system served four class rooms, the auditorium, gymnasium, home economics room, and the janitors' room. Since then, two more rooms have purchased speakers, thus giving complete coverage to the upper six. The Seniors would like to thank the Sophomore and Eighth Grade rooms for their splendid co-operation in extending this service. We hope that this system will live up to our expectations and prove to be la great aid in the education of the boys and girls who will attend jefferson in the coming years. 1 T SHIRTS In order to earn a little extra money and to make everyone look sharp, the Seniors had some white tee shirts manufactured with the letters j-E-F-F-E-R-S-O-N and a large hornet in black, blowni on the shirt by a special process. ,Everybody could be seen strutting around with one on. The Seniors made a nice de- posit to their treasury and all customers were satisfied. The Seniors wish to thank everyone for the business and co-operation. SENIOR STARDUST SERENADE If you noticed old people, young people, and middle-ages people all scurrying in their best get-up to the schoolhouse October lst, you can imagine where they were going. For that night was a gala affair for both young and old as they danced to the swaying music of Bob Armstrong and his Orchestra. The dance was sponsored by the Senior Class, in the blue and white decorated gym, carrying the theme of the Senior Stardust Serenade . The east basketball goal proudly carried the letters of 48 made of white twisted crepe paper upon a dark blue background. Around the letters, sparkling, silver stars were scattered. On the opposite basketball goal, also upon a dark blue background was placed one large star, also of sparkling silver. Upon the walls were blue and white twisted paper looped in a swaying motion, fastened with large blue bows. Blue-bulbed pin-up lamps gave the room a glowing night effect, and to the beautiful arrangement of Armstrong's Orchestra playing the theme song, Stardust , the couples swayed as if being entertained in the Waldorf-Astoria Ballroom. The mellow music of Bob's Orchestra and vocalist was greatly enjoyed as he gave way with sweet notes from his sax and clarinet, and set feet stomping to his rugged jazz. Z4 UHOBGOBLIN HOUSE Presented by The Senior Class Shrieks! Murder: Laughter! This was the prelude to the spine-chilling presentation of Hobgoblin House presented by the Senior Class, April 15th-16th, that fulfilled terror, murder and headless phantoms that sent you sinking beneath your seats. The deafening shrieks, the funeral bell, the unsolved murder and the side-splitting scenes of laughter, helped make this presentation one of the most outstanding chillers. Darius Krupp , the gnome-like, hunch-back caretaker, sinister in his manner, looks, and actions was performed by Bud Kemper, who kept the audience in misery of expecta- tions. Darius had been the caretaker of the Hobgoblin House for many a year and held with him the most gruesome stories of the past owner and his wife. His wife was said to have been beheaded by her husband who carried the name of B1uebeard Bronson , Miss Priscilla Carter strict, aristocratic spinster who bought the I-lobgoblin House mostly to keep her irresponsible nieces from their nincompoop boy friends, was pre- sented by Betty Coddington. Miss Priscilla's staccato-like crispness was domineering and she refused to be frightened even when the mischievous boy friends of her nieces dressed as ghosts trying to scare her into selling the house so they could again be with her nieces. Marion Carter lovable, serious-minded niece of Priscilla Carter was played by All DeBoo. Her quiet contemplation and her appealing manner make her a shield for her more tempestuous younger sister. Marion knew of her boy friends presence and helped him scheme a way to frighten her aunt into selling, the ending being of course as Cupid will have it. ' Iill Carter, pretty dashing younger sister of Marion, was performed by Miriam Knox. She, having a more excitable disposition, was always seeking refuge in her jack's arms. She too, as her sister Marion had done, helped jack' frighten her aunt, but was thor- oughly petrified when the real ghost appeared. The performance of these two personalities are in opposite contrast of one another and to the audience give presentation of two typical American young women. Frank Harlowe tall and dignified chap, capable of little devilish tricks was played by Richard Nelson. He and lack Loring, heart-throb of jill, another young chap. with a win- ning personality, played by Allie Smith scheme together to form a little mystery within a big one as they disguised themselves as ghosts to frighten Miss Priscilla and also help catch the dangerous Bluebeard Bronson. Susan Parkins the I-lenglish 'ousekeeper was portrayed by Betty West. Being an accentric spinster-like maiden, she speaks her mind at all times, always hearing hants. Susan's Henglish accent plus her lovable disposition added much comedy. Bluebeard Bronson the real spine-crinkler was an escaped maniac with powerful arms and beady eyes as portrayed by Myron Arnett. B1uebeard caused much excite- ment and terror, chasing all the characters around with a bloody hatchet. His actions caused the audience to go beneath the seats to collect their hearts. Bill Wilkins keeper of Bluebeard was played by lack Hughes. He was a short, rugged person that kept the audience' guessing as to what part he actually played in the connection of the kidnapping of Patricia Arnold. Patricia was portrayed by Donna Mc- Gunnigill in a headless way. Playing a dual role of Patricia and the Headless Phan- tom, revealed Patricia as a Chicago heiress, who had been held in Custody by Blue beard and Bill Wilkins, and as the phantom who with special effects was the product of a baby goose-pimple turned to a Nlother-nightmare . The play as a whole, taken in the run-down, sparsely-furnished Hobgood house, be- came better known as the I-lobgoblin House and brought terror to all who entered and it also entered the veins of all sho saw it. Beginning with a Shriekf Ending with a Scream! Putting you in Spasms! Z5 SENIOR CLASS- PROPHECY Editor's Note: 1 QA11 places and persons in this manuscript are positively fictitious., It was. a bright cheerful morning, May ZO, 1967, to be exact. We were at the Vandalia Airport. We were taking a trip to California. Our plane taxied up and stopped. We board- ed it, and off we went. After we had been in the air a few minutes a friendly stewardess came staggering down the aisle. She almost fell in our laps. When we looked up we saw that it was none other than Carolyn Brown. We talked to her for a few minutes and then she continued on her way. W Finally, we noticed the plane ride was getting rather rough. We decided to go up front to ask the pilot what was wrong. When we saw who the pilot was we weren't surprised. It was Bob Pickett.' We asked him what he was doing piloting an airplane. I-Ie said there was room up here and besides, he got tired of paying for wrecked cars. We laughed and told him to try to take it a little easier. We finally arrived at our destination, San Francisco, Getting a taxicab to take us to our hotel was a surprise, more so, because the driver was Allie Smith. Allie was sur- prised to see us too. He said he had married Peggy Zurwell and they were very happy with their two children. We said we were very happy to find him so happy and well. He drove us to the hotel, Ritzy-Plitzy Plaza. As we arrived, the doorman was throwing two bums out. He gave them a big kick and they landed at our feet. They looked up at us sadly--each had a black eye. When we real- ized who they were we just about passed out. It was, though hard to believe, Richard Nel- son and Bud Kemper. We thought of what intelligent boys they had been in school. Yes, two great guys, bums now. We never would have guessed that. The doorman, who had been watching us, came up and said Remember me? Sure we did. It was Jack Hughes. He said his job was pretty good, especially opening the door for good-lookin' dames. He also said he had married and had a pleasant life except for his wife's rolling pin. We went into the Ritzy-Plitzy Plaza, and asked to see the manager about our rooms. To our astonishment the manager was, of all people, John Stiver. Well, we were about to give up after this. To think john Stiver owning a hotel---in California. Apparently, john was doing well, because he had an expensive suit and a diamond stickpin. We retired to our rooms to rest the remainder of the afternoon. When evening came, we decided to go to a famous nite club for dinner. So dressing in our best bib andtuckers we hailed Al1ie's taxi. We asked him which nite club was the finest. He said the Blue Gable was where we should go, so we did. The Blue Gable was very beautiful. To launch the evening off correctly, I spilled my champagne. When I screamed, the manager came running to see what had happened. I started to explain when I saw that it was not an ordinary nite club manager, but Frank Frech one of our old school-mates. He was as surprised to see us as we were to see him. He brought us some more champagne and sat dovm with us awhile. He told us hehad some- one he wanted us to see. He motioned to the cigarette girl and she came quickly. She was blonde-haired Mariam Knox, who also used to go to school at jefferson. She was very glad to see us, and said we were the first old friends she had seen in months. She could only stay for a few minutes as she had to get back to work. V Mr. Frech said we would be entertained in a few minutes, because there would be a floor show. We chatted awhile, then came the show. The lights were dimmed and a hush fell over the club, as a lovely, dark-haired lady appeared singing Temptation , We recognized her instantly as jane DeBoo, a graduate from jefferson. She sang beautifully. After the show we went to her dressing room. She told us she was very happily mar- ried, but was keeping on with her career of singing. After chatting with her awhile we de- cided that we had had enough excitement for one day, so we departed. The next morning after we had eaten our breakfast and were reading the morning paper, in came the hotel maid. She started puttering around and then she looked up. When she did so, she dropped her mop and stook looking at us with her mouth wide open. As 26 r Senior Class Prophecy - Continued. soon as we regained our wits we knew who the character was. It was Betty Lou Codding- ton. She flashed a diamond on her left finger, so we inquired about it. She told us she had been engaged ever since Christrnas and was to be married in june. We wished her luck as she left to continue her cleaning elsewhere. Our time was growing short and our vacation was soon to be at an end. We decided to do what we had always longed to do, go to Alcatraz. Yes, just to see it. We went to the docks and got passes on a cute little boat. We climbed aboard and went to look around. We ran into an old schoolmate of ours, Myron Armett. Yes, he was the captain, but not of the basketball team. His first mate was one of the girlsin his class, Marilyn Delk. We chatted with her and she told us a little about her job. About all she had to do was to wash Myron's clothes and be sure to cook big meals for him three times every day. She said it was the funniest first mate's job she had ever heard of. She took us to the galley and we had some of her boat-made cookies and coffee. Soon the ,captain yelled Land-l-lo and we went on deck. There on the horizon was Alcatraz, . Entering Alcatraz we experienced a great shock. The warden was strong Melt-in james. Then we met the matron, Virginia Culbertson. Virginia took us to the workshop so we could see how the prisoners were progressing. Bob Ray was knitting blue baby booties. He was teaching his little baby son to say Da-da instead of Ma-ma, so his wife had him locked up. Qlncidentally, the baby still can't say Ma-ma.l Then we saw a tough guard coming toward us. When he went by us we noticed that he was another school chum, Meredith Wesler. He Went over and stopped two prisoners from flipping each other with rubber baby pants. They were some' more of our friends, Edward Hornsby and Eugene Roberts. Their job was to make rubber pants. That's what they get for riding their horses on the Golden Gate Bridge, ITUT, tut, boys., Suddenly we heard some music. Music in a prison? we thought. We began to get curious, so we asked the matron if they had a radio there. No , she said, I'll showyou what that music is, if that's what you call it , She took us to a big auditorium. This was called the recreation room. And who is that character back of the piano? No, not Bill Owens! Well, well, what in the world is he here for. For playing boogie-Woogie at a funeral. My goodness, what next! After seeing a few more places around Alcatraz, we took our leave and returned to the hotel. We rested because we were to go to an opera that evening. At the opera we met some old friends. We seated ourselves and began looking over our programs. Soon the curtain rose and the opera began. To our amazement the trio was that of jefferson's--Betty West, Donna McGunnegill and Edith Mull. My, how that class of 48 has changed. We were just wondering-- What's to become of this generation , that hasn't already!! Han SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1948, being in sound bodies and in as solid of minds as can be expected do hereby will, bequeath, bestow, pass on and even give away to the hopeless class of 1949 our proudly earned position as Seniors of Jefferson High School. As a unit, we pass to these unfortunate souls, first, the worry of tardiness and test flunking along with the fun we have gotten with our chalk-filled erasers, our bombardment of sliding seats and battle of spit balls. Secondly we hope that each and every one of the above mentioned will feel free to obtain and use the right of causing any undue disturbance by talking, laughing and even yelling at any mentioned subject whether worthy of such boisterous unmannerly conduct or not. Last but not least, with our other worldly possessions, we leave the outcasted, broken-down, eraser-strewn homeroom where we have spent our most treasured moments to be at the mercy of those who wish to do it worse, and we pray that they too will leave this plaster-fallen palace floating above all other opposing' schools on its magic cloud of chalk dust. This concluding our items of worldy possessions as a class we now bestow upon those we think not better but almost as good our individual possessions and our hope that they will in their time of meditation think of us as human individuals.

Dorothy Thompson Treasurer , , , , , ,Martha Egleg News Reporter .... . .Betty Godsey Our class colors are blue and white and our flower is a white rose. Our class motto is Truth Gives Wings To Success . In October, about a week before Thanksgiving, we received our class rings from Herff-jones Company in Indianapolis. We are very proud of them and naturallythink they are the prettiest ones made so far. On November 2.3rd and 24th we presented our junior Class Play. We chose a comedy entitled Tons O' Fun . We have worked hard all year, making money for our reception. We sold con- cessions at all the home basketball games, each taking turns on various committees. We wish to thank everyone who patronized us. We had a nice Christmas celebration here at school. We got a Christmas tree and decorated it for our home room. The day before we got out for Christmas va- cation we had a gift exchange. The class also presented our class sponsor, Miss Thatcher, with a brown leather purse. Everyone enjoyed the treats given by the P. T. A. and the school. We also liked the Christmas Movie. On February 6th, we had our class assembly. Most everyone took part in it. It was a great success. Our class party was held at the school house on February 9th, We played games and had refreshments. Everyone enjoyed themselves. ' The 12th of March we sponsored a St. Patricks Day Dance. This was a50-50 dance with Mr. Bill Parker calling the square dances. The dance band employed was Peck Harter's. We held our junior-Senior Reception at the Country Club at Union City, Indiana, on April 29th. Bob Armstrong's Orchestra played for the evening's dancing. We hope and believe everyone had a wonderful time and that it will be a highly remembered event in the years' to come. Special honors go to june Keller as runner-up in the Prince of Peace Contest. Her topic was The People's Peace . Also to joan Melody who had a poem publish- ed in the National High School Poetry Association. This is the second time she has had one published. We wish to thank the Seniors for the Public Address System installed in our home room. It is very helpful and we know it will be a great help for the future classes of jefferson. We wish the Seniors of 48 the best of luck in their future years away from jefferson. 33 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY A three act comedy was presented by the junior Class, October Z3-24, at, the school building.

The queen cnosen was Ruth Huddle and the king, jack Davidson, The attendants were, Virginia Culbertson, Peggy Zurwell, and Louise Fussner. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much. During the summer of 1947, the state of Ohio sent representatives to the Summer Con- ference at Westerville, for the week. Betty Coddington and joan Williams were sent as representatives. At the beginning of school in September, new girls entering the Y-Teen Club were in- ducted. A candlelight evening service was held at the Methodist Church. The new mem- bers included: Peggy Melody, Helen Ford, Loretta Melling, Lorraine LeMay, Dona Wallen, Barbara Cail, Juanita Adams, and Mable Morrison. Our club has been doing splendid work in the March of Dimes, and we also contributed ten dollars to the Care Food Package, to be sent to'Europe. We have our meetings twice monthly. Several of our meetings are held during the evening, while others are held during school hours. A Candlenaght Christmas service was held in the auditorium in charge of the ,Devotion- al Committee. Everyone thought it was very impressive and the program was ended by the singing of several Christmas carols. Another exciting event happened in December. The Y-Teens were entertained, by the Y.W.C.A. Council, at the Masonic Hall,witha Christmas party. Various games were play- ed during the evening. Afterwards, gifts were exchanged, and delicious refreshments were served. The party ended by singing many Christmas carols. Everyone had a wonderful time. In December, 1948, the memoers of the Y-Teen cabinet were invited to a meeting at the Y.W.C.A. in Richmond. Followinfz the meeting the cabinet decided to make blue skirts to wear for the club. On February 7th, a food sale was held at Thompson's Restaurant. -by the Y-Teen group. The sale turned out very successful. The last week of February was observed as Y-Teen Week. During this week a pro- gram by the Y-Teens were presented to the Assemblv. At Easter time we IIIO gavean Easter Assembly. This year the Y-Teen Council observed May 7th, as May Day.

We to follow will enjoy the club as much as we have. SOLDIERS AND DOLLS ' Little girls like dolls, ..ittle boys like soldiers, Bigger girls like soldiers, Bigger boys like dolls. THINK THIS OVER A dog is loved By old and young: Fle wags his tail, And not his tongue. PROTECTION Protect the birds. The Dove oz-ings peace and the Stork brings tax exemptions. DOLLAR The one green with the short future. TRUTHFULNESS Bud: Do prevaricators ever tell the truth? ' Melvin: Yes, I heard one call another a liar. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Richard: What is the diff- erence between capital and labor, Dad? Mr. Nelson: Well, son, the money you lend representsdcap- ital and getting it back repre- sents labor. LATIN All are dead who wrote it, All are dead who spoke it, All die who learn it, Blessed death, They earn it. 47 hope that the Y-Teens of the years ALL OR NOTHING Some guys adore a pretty face, Some love a pretty curl. That's not for Bob, He must adinit- He wants the whole darn-girl. LUCKY We heard of a lucky man the other day. He has a wife and a cigarette lighter, and both of them work. WILLY A little boy went forth to school One day without his churn: The teacher said, Why, you're alone Why doesn't Willy come? Oh Willy! sobbed the little boy, There ain't no Willy now, What do you mean? the teach- er asked, Please sir, the boy replied, With puzzled, knitted brow. We made a bet for fun Which one could lean the far- therest out The window, Willy won, HI-Y NEWS Our local Hi-Y Club is just finishing its third year. By this time we have passed the organizational stage and are now trying to improve our group. Two of our members, Meredith Wesler and Richard Nelson, attended Camp Nelson Dodd this year. Bud Kemper, our president, had attended the year before as had our vice-president, Myron Arnett. At this camp the boys picked up several good ideas for improving our club. The camp period was August l0th to 17th. Our Hi-Y year was officially opened at Camp Kern early in Septernber. Several of our boys attended this weekend session. The boys had a very interesting and educational time. In November we held a paper drive that turned out to be quite successful. We would like to thank the community for its support. Since so many people had said they liked our Christmas music last year, the Hi-Y decided to play recorded carols again this Christmas. We hope everyone en- joyed them. -' Some of the boys attended the district conference held at Fairmont on january 24th. This conference has always been one of the high points in the Hi-Y year and this year proved to be no exception. On April Sth the club sponsored a donkey basketball game in the school gym- nasium. Again we want to thank the community for their support. We hope you en- joyed it as much as we did. As this year comes to a close we have just one comment to make. We hope the people of New Paris and jefferson Township will continue to back us as well as they have in the past. You have really been swell. Let's keep it up. 48 lNTER'CLASS H1-,Y-7-TEEN Seated--Left to Right. Richard Nelson, Bud Kemper, Allie Smith, Virginia Culbertson. Row 2.

The G, A, A, was organized during the school term of '47-'48, Before then, we were without a sport club for girls at jefferson. Mrs. Richard Middaugh, physical education teacher, became sponsor of the club. The reason for the club was to create an interest in sports among the girls. In our first meeting, which was held October Z3rd, we elected the following officers: President ..... Marilyn Saxton Vice President ........ Martha Eales Secretary ........ june Keller Treasurer ............ Jeanne Moore News Reporter ........... Debora jurgens ' We also decided to meet every two weeks and there would be no requirement of club dues. On November 4th, a weiner roast was held at Roadside Park. We sang songs andhad a treasure hunt. Everyone had a wonderful time. At our business meeting on December 4th, we elected Lola Harshman to be our His- torian. We chose teams for our volleyball games and elected Helen Ford as captain. Everyone took an interest in this and we had very interesting and exciting games. During the first few months of our club's organization we ordered beanies and jeff- erson pennants to sell as a money making project. A Swing and Sway party was held December 2nd, the last periodin the Home Ec.Room. We danced to the record player, drank cokes, and ate pretzels. A good time was had byall. A week before Christmas we girls went Christmas caroling. Afterwards refresh- ments were served at the home of Peggy and joan Melody. Our next meeting was held january 14th. We discussed our point system. We decided that a goal of 100 points was to be reached by each girl by the end of the school term. We also elected Juanita Adams as basketball captain and June Keller as her assistant. Another meeting was held February lZth, and suggestions for another record dance were brought forth. We decided to call it the Leap Year Dance . Everyone wanted to in- vite a boy to the dance so we sent invitations to the boys of our choice. G1 February 26th, everyone came to the Home Ec. Room for a dance. A coke bar was. in one corner of the room and the girls each bought the boys a'coke. We all hoped theboys had as good a time as we girls did. A swinxming plunge was held on March 9th, at the Y.M.C.A. in Richmond. Those who could not swim enjoyed watching. In March we had a playday with Camden and Monroe. We played' various games as basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Refreshments were served afterwards. We girls were all glad that the Camden and Monroe girls could be here. In April another wiener roast and hike was held at Roadside Park. The entertainment committee kept us all busy playing games. When it became dark we all sat around the campfire, singing songs, and eating hotdogs. Then we hiked back to New Paris and we all agreed we were pretty tired after our hike. On May 6th, all of us girls brought bicycles to school and after school went bicycle riding., We all enjoyed our excursion very much. We hope next year the G. A. A. Club has as much fun as we have had this year.Those of us that reached our goal of 100 points all received awards. We all wish to thank our sponsor, Mrs. Middaugh, for her leadership and sponsoring of our club. s 50 ated--Ltft to Right,- Mabel Morrison, Clara- belle McDermitt, Mary j.

Flour- escent lights were installed and the walls painted. New darkening blinds, for movies, were added. Another thing we are greatly appreciative of is the addition of a new piano. The band this year is divided into two sections, the junior and the Senior bands. The combined band played for a P. T. A. meeting and also at the County Basketball Tournament. The Christmas parade in Richmond was another event in which the Jefferson band performed. ' The first six grades and the Tonnette band furnished music for the P. T. A. Christmas party. This was enjoyed by a capacity audience. A Christmas dance was sponsored by the Music Department. The mellow music of Bob Armstrong's orchestra, of Richmond, was enjoyed by all present. Our musical units were well represented at the County Music Festival held at Gratis. 53 Omesflc C0rner 54 'N'v-Lfiqsw A Wim A .:p.. V.-1 I fvb .o, 1 .

About thirty-five parents had a meeting with Superintendent Sanders in the auditorium on Thursday at 2:00 P.M. They had come to discuss some of the Common problems fac- ing the teachers and the parents. Some of the main points discussed were physical education, the cafeteria, the Music Department, transportation, discipline and respect, and reading habits. The committee for the meeting was Mrs. Wallace Hodgin, Mr. Charles Mull, Mr.Har- ley Ray, and Miss Woodice Eliason. PRINCE OF PEACE The annual Prince of Peace contest was held in the school auditorium on November 9th, at 4:00 P.M. This year the competition was keen as four contestants pitted their each other for first place honors. The contestants were Lois Dorsey, Fr ability against eshmang Patty Stemple, Sophomore: june Keller, junior, and Richard Nelson, Senior. Richard Nelson won the contest by a narrow margin over june Keller who was judged alternate. Richard then took part in the Preble County contest held at the Eat Church on December 7th, 1947. He was awarded third place. We hope that next year even more of our students will be interested the contest. FALL CARNIVAL on Presbyterian in taking part in Halloween eve proved to be a very gala night at Jefferson Township School. This was the night of our annual Fall Carnival which we look forward to every year. Hi-lighted by a splendid talent show, the carnival proved to be a great success. Bob Leisure, Sophomore crooner, came through to take first place in the talent packed show. jo Ann Michael, a fifth grader, sang her way into the hearts of everyone in the audience, and incidentally, into second place. The cake walk, beauty parlor, fish pond, and many other booths proved to be verypop- ular with the huge crowd. Very few of the crowd failed to hear jim juday calling them to try their luck at the nail drive. Uim has quite a voicel. A radio and two lamps were just a beginning to the list of door prize s that were given away at the second show of the evening. Those people who won sacks of potatoes were pret ty lucky, too. Spuds were very high this winter as you probably know. The main attraction of the carnival was the queen. Helen Ford, Freshman, was crown- ed Carniva1 Queen of l947 . Her attendants were Lorraine LeMay, Freshman: Louise Fussner, Joan Taylor, Sophomoresg Marilyn Saxton, Martha Eales, juniors: and jane DeBoo, Virginia Culbertson, Seniors. Miss Ford was presented with a make-up kit while joan Taylor, runne sented with various shades of lipstick. r-up, was pre- All in all the carnival netted S55Z.l5, a huge sum for a high school affair. Sorne of this money has already been put to work to improve our school. We hope you all had a fine time at the carnival and will come back again next year. 56 v .x -:'-. rg., 1 1 ici' 51,5 K a -3. 42 ,H ,, 55. - F51 I , ,Y .,m.f,. 1. rw - f -- 1 is ? ? -.5 K ., .,v. 6, x1....2,. , I -A L ACTIVITIES Sensor Play Maj oref'fcS -F, I' - ' gg Q .

They just missed nabbing the Preble County league title and trophy by two slim points in their final league game with john Brill's Dixon Dragons. Although the Hornets had P'hot and cold nights, they were usually 'hot at the right times and thus feared bv every team in the county. The Hornets made the points and cheering section made the noise. Our boys always had the fine support of the rooters, led by the cheerleaders, to back them up. Thanks a lot sport fans, you did a swell job. We are sorry the Tournament figures were not available at the time thisbook went to press. JEFFERSON HORNETS-BASKETBALL SCORES - '41-'48. llf 7147 jefferson 57 College Corner Z8 llf14f4?

Robert: What! Wait till I tell Pa. HEAVEN BOUND Mr. johnson: Explain the law of Gravity. Allie: That's the law that says if you feel high the night before you gotta feel low the next day. THE OLD ST ORY Mr. Sanders: This is the fifth time you've been sent into my office this week, What have you to say? Bill: Pm certainly glad it's Friday. INFLATION Mr. Allen: When water changes to ice, what is the greatest change that takes place? Jenny: The price. LAST WORDS Miss Kemp: In what battle did Gen- eral Wolfe, when hearing of victory, cry?

SENIOR MARKS We think that we shall never see An F as lovely as a B A B whose rounded form is pressed Upon the records of the blessed: As F comes easily, and yet, it isn't easy to forget: F's are made by fools like me, But only God can make a Bee. BUBBLE-GUM The gum-chewing girls And the cud-chewing cow Are somewhat alike, Yet different somehow, And what is the difference? I think I know now-- It's that clear thoughtful look On the face of the cow, THE WRONG WOMAN Blondes were invented to preventmar- ried life from running too smoothly. WELL SET Last night I sat upon a chair A little chair that wasn't there. It wasn't there again today But I can't sit down anyway. CRA ZY CRAFT Since Kilroy has been here, the poor little moron hasn't had a chance. But have you all heard about the little moron who ate uranium and got atomic ache?

CHEMISTRY CLASS Sing a song of sulphide, beaker full of lime, Four and twenty test tubes breaking all the time. When the cork is taken out, Fumes begin to reek, Isn't that an awful mess To have five times a week. SMILES It's easy to wear a smile When life is a piece of cake, But the boy worthwhile Is the boy who can smile When he feels his suspenders break. A KISS A kiss is a noun, because it is both common and proper: A kiss is a pronoun, because she stands for it. A kiss is a verb, because it is either active or passive: A kiss is an adverb, because it modifies the art, A kiss is an interjection because it shows strong and sudden feeling: A kiss is a conjunction because it con- nects. DEFINITION A jitterbug is not an insect but a hu- man being acting like one. GOING WEST The great big beautiful car drew up to the curb where Betty West was waiting for a bus, and a gentleman stuck his head out the window and said. Hello, I'm driving west. How wonderful, said Betty. Bring me back an orange. LONG AND SHORT A good letter, like a woman's skirt, should be long enough to cover the sub- ject and short enough to create interest. EASY GOING Mr, Smith: Son who is this wild wo- man you're running around with? Allie: Aw, dad, she ain't wild. Any- body can pet her. No wonder the little duckling Wears on his face a frown: For he has just now discovered His first pair of pants are down. RULE NO. l Early to bed and early to rise, And you'll never show red in the whites of your eyes. GOOD AND BAD The good we learn at mother's knee. The bad at other joints.

It was very small. just three in all: I, Myself, and me. Myself ate all the sandwiches: I drank up all the tea: It was also I: who ate the pie And passed the cake to me. GIRLS Courtship: Period during which the girl decides whether or not she can do better. HOW TRUE, HOW TRUE A fellow was dragged from his wrecked car and taken to a near-by house. I can't help you, said the householder, I'm not an M. D., but a veterinarian. You're just the fellow for me, said the injured man, because I was a jack- ass to think I could do fifty. FOILED AGAIN A ragged tramp knocked on the door of a doctor's house. A lady came to the door Tramp: Could I have a pair of the doc tor's old pants? Lady: I don't think you want to wear them. Tramp: Why? Lady: Because I'm the doctor. WILLING CANDIDATES A young couple asked the parson to marry them immediately following the Sun- day morning service. When the time came the minister arose to say: Will those who wish to be united in holy bonds of matrimony please come forward? There was a great stir as 13 women and one man approached the alter. A REAL BLIND DATE jack: My girl told me last night that she didn't want to see me anymore. Bud: So, I guess you left then? jack: No, I turned out the lights. JUST MY LUCK He is my teacherg I shall not pass. He maketh me to go to the board. He compelleth me to write difficult problems. He maketh me to sit down for my class sake.

We have put in a lot of time on its production and we feel that this labor has not been wasted. But we realize that we alone could not have made this book a success. We are deeply indebted to our advertisers whose patronage financed our book, to the student body, without whose co-operation we would certainly have failed in our efforts, and, last but not least, to our faithful faculty for their wonderful help and guidance. To these groups we wish to express our deepest gratitude, for their help in making this Criterion, produced by the Class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight, a success.
