OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MRS. LUCILE SUMNER TRACK Assistant Principal For two years now Mrs. Track has been filling the unenviable position of attendance booster. It is her unpleasant task to hand out the blue slips to those who have failed to comply with the regulations concerning absences. Needless to say the absenteeism has fallen off greatly and credit goes Where credit is due. Her Work at school has certainly not been her only interest. A few months ago she slipped off from school herself fwith the approval of our principalj and married Mr. Frank A. Track just before he sailed for Shanghai where he has charge of habili- tation of Chinese merchant vessels in that area. We Wish them every happiness and an early opportunity to be together again. LIBRARY In the library which she has made a pleasant place to spend an hour or two, we find Miss Clara Crone. This is her first year as librarian although not by any means her first year at Jefferson where she' is one of our best loved and most widely known instructors. With a pleasant smile, she is always willing to assist any student with personal or assigned problem. Miss CLARA CRONE Librarian i OFFICE Cf a truth our oiiice is a pleasant place, too, in which to transact business. In fact our secretary, Mrs. Hazel Pattillo, and her little assistant, Miss Betty Lackman, greet all new and old comers with a helping hand. All of the credit for such an accurate record of our school finances goes to her. Miss Lackman is wearing a new diamond, a new smile. BETTY JANE LACKMAN Mas.

OUR PRINCIPAL FOR OUR FIRST FIVE YEARS OF SUCCESS 1 i i 1 MR. D. W. WATERS A scant five years ago Jefferson was just becoming a high school. To its principal lay a hard taskg that of winning for it a position of respect and admiration in Florida prep circles. But today that is just what we have accomplished. For not only in athletics but in all activities, Jefferson has made unbelievable progress, and is now recognized as one of the top high schools in the state. No one knows better than Tommy just how much of the credit for this achievement belongs to the skipper-to our principal, Mr. D. W. Waters--for his willingness to lend a hand wherever neededg for his guidance and understandingg and for his love of Jefferson and each of its students. Not a football, basketball, baseball game or track meet goes by but he is there, for, having played baseball for several years himself, he is a natural for all sports contests. And usually with him are the members of Jefferson's first family-his wife, daughter and her husband and child, and his son-all are staunch Dragon rooters even down to one year old Sharon. He also likes to visit classes and when a substitute is not available, pop takes over, both to his and the students' delight. He likes even more to play checkers and chess, and spends spare moments playing in a never ending tournament with the men teachers. The spares are usually few and far between, for there's always something or some- body ready to claim the time and attention of jeiferson's top man- Mr. D. W. Waters. Three and two on the boss. Principal caught peeking. Some championship advice. sifaks

MARGARET LANGSTON Englisla Miss MARCELLA PURDOM English Journalism students, Carmen Wyatt, Evelyn Wittman, and Sally Roop, learn how to read copy and do make-up. ENGLISH In the English department, Tommy found a sextette of hard working teachers, most of whom have some school activity claiming their after 3:15 time. A familiar face around the office where she helps keep track on at- tendance, is lovable Mrs. Ethel Schilling, whose classes are always packed with idolizing students. Mrs. Debbie Sanborn, who explains Shakespeare during regular class periods, is student council sponsor, and during the past year has had her hands full publishing a brand new handbook and attending the many suce cessful dances given by that organization. Kiwanette sponsor, Mrs. Ruth XVisdom, has discovered that it's a hard job keeping up with the schoolis twenty most popular girls, especially, when there is a new grandson at home clamoring for attention. To Mrs. Jessie Cannon goes the majority of the credit for the lovely lounges. A natural born salesman, she also took over, with the able assistance of o-ur senior homeroom teacher Mrs. Margaret Langston, the advertising for the June Class Play program-and the money really rolled in!
