e xx ,XE Jofwxge. vwrsle .X ,XG YH. This year Thomas Jefferson High School celebrates its Silver Anniversary. Thousands of young men have passed through its portals, many to successful careers, and all, we trust, to happy lives. Hundreds of its graduates have fought in defense of America and two hun- dred and one have made the supreme sacrifice. What kind of school has moulded so many wonderful lives? ls it the building? Arch- itecturally, no! There are many finer, more glamorous buildings, yet an intangible, hard- to-describe esprit cle corps which the school has possessed since itsopening seems to inspire graduates each year to strive for even higher goals. , , The spirit of a school depends to a great extent onits faculty. Such a faculty helps to provide guidance, leadership and inspiration for the youth under its care. The Jefferson Fa- culty love this school and the young men entrusted to their care. They are a capable, well educated group. Aware of their great responsibilities, they accept them gladly. An architect must visualize how the bricks and mortar, lumber, steel, paint, glass and furnishings will take a tangible form. So also, the principal as the architect of his school has plans for the construction of his ideal school. He decides on the best use of all the material at his command. ln place of bricks and lumber. he blends into his concept the members of his faculty and of his student body with their widely differing personalities and potential- itiesi. Thus Jefferson to an immeasurable extent reflects the ideals of the principal. The Echievemeints of the Jefferson graduates over the years have proved that these plans have een goo . , Congratulations on this Silver Anniversary of Thomas Jefferson High School to all who through the years have given so unstintingly of hand, mind, and heart to the making of this f. .of fine institution.
