W i il tin p1fQ5,tff,YA1 T Thomas jefferson, Club HE Thomas Jefferson Literary Society was the last of the boys' elubs to be organized, it being founded in the year 1923. The boys chose for their colors, sky blue and gold, for their flower, the sweet pea, for their motto, Labor is Genius . Although the hope of winning the cup seemed hopeless for the J effersonians, the desire for it was there, and it took them only three years to fulfill that desire and that hope. When in the term of 1925-1926, the Jefferson Club finally won the cup, it was no surprise to the Jeffersonians for they had worked hard and earnestly for it. The following year, 1927, the Jeffersonian Club was again victorious. Their advisor Ruth Green, is an earnest and diligent worker for the Club and its cause. TOP ROW:-Miss Green, Sponsor, R.
