UNT!! NOW ln our journey through the years we have seen many changes, physical and spiritual, in Jefferson High School and in the world. During all this time, Jefferson has grown from a little-known boys' school to one of the most famous institutions of learning in this state. Throughout the years, our teams havebe- come champions in various school sports, and our clubs have been recognized as a part of the community as well as the means of developing civic-minded and responsible citizens. Many men have been graduated from this school who have won for us a fine reputation in the na- tion's colleges and, upon graduation from these various institutions of higher learning, have become successful in their chosen fields. Some graduates have entered industry or the trades and have become prominent. No one will forget, of course, the many Jefferson grad- uates who defended our country in World War ll and in the Korean Conflict. Some have paid the supreme sacrifice, others have been disabled, but all have brought credit to our school. Whatever their field of endeavor, all these men have made the state of New Jersey aware of Thomas Jefferson High School and the men who have come from its halls. Here are two displays of Jefferson taste. One is taken from the year l929g the other from the year l954. The two eras have vast differences, and yet there are amazing simi- larities. 1929 SUBJECT 1954 Stutz Bearcat Automobile Jaguar Amos an' Andy Radio Program Make Believe Ballroom lAre you Kidding?l T V Program Dragnet Button Up Your Overcoat Song Stranger in Paradise Bath Tub Gin Beverage Milk Fatima Cigarette L 6 M Farewell to Arms Book The Kinsey Reports The Palace Theater Any Drive-ln Ed Wynn Comedian Jerry Lewis John Barrymore Actor Marlon Brando Clara Bow Actress Marilyn Monroe Paul Whitman Band Ray Anthony Rudy Vallee Male Vocalist Eddie Fisher Kate Smith Female Vocalist Joni James Mickey Mouse Cartoon Character Dennis The Menace Yale College Rutgers You're The Cat's Pajamas Popular Saying Swell Going to Speakeasies Hobby or Sport Thursday Night Shopping The Jazz Singer Motion Picture The Moon is Blue Raccoon Coat Clothes Plaid vest, white bucks Charleston Fad Hollywood haircut His Master's Voice Disc Jockey Martin Block Ziegfield Follies Show The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial And now, as an introduction to the most important section of this annual, we present the class that entered Jefferson for the first time in l95l, the class that will be remembered for manyyearstocome, THIS YEARS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26
