Even as a spirit Tommy was not immune to ualgebranitis' and in orts to find out the values of X and y he met one of the most teachers at Jefferson Miss Mary Mortellaro. As a January class sponsor she worked out plans for the class banquet, corn- exercises and Baccalaureate service. But she really started when she agreed to help direct the mid-term class play, for sooner was that successful three-act comedy presented than she was by June graduates to direct theirs. All this and cheerleaders, too for this voung and energetic teacher also leads our vocal Dragons. And just to make sure that these vocal Dragons coniine their talents to athletic games and assemblies there is Miss Estelle Butler head of MATHEMATICS 1 il -e E .i Look what happened when Marcia Burris tried to teach Tommy some Algebra. our Traffic system. The chief sees that traffic flows smoothly and quietly in the halls. During class shifts she can be seen dashing around to wherever there is a report of a jam or congestion. Tommy got sent to the board by our camera shy Georgia Geometrician, Mrs. Irene Sparkman. A strep throat kept her home in bed for three weeks but still she found time for her senior class and for her duties as fair work chairman. On his next stop-Home Economics-Tommy caught Mrs. Frances Hawkins hiding behind her apron strings. She takes time out from cooking and sewing to direct Red Cross drives at jefferson.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES Tommyls love for music led him to meet the sponso-rs of many of our Variety assembly programs-Miss Eleanor Fiske, band and orchestra director, and Mrs. Elsie Hall, glee club teacher. The latter has had the many responsibilities of a senior class, while Miss Fiske, who joined the faculty roster in September, is also sponsor for the R.O.T.C. band. Tommy felt right at home in foreign languages for it was in room 211, where Latin students learn of Caesar, that he was born. Occupying the teacher's desk in this hub of jefferson activity is Mrs. Verta Cox, annual sponsor. For a small person she really packs a wallop, and no amount of credit given her for many hours of hard work, is undue. Another of our active faculty members who really lives up to her name is Mrs. Winifred K. Lively. She makes high school life' more enjoyable by scheduling and arranging our assembly programs, many of which contain skits presented by her own. speech classes. Tommy also enjoyed his visit with Senor Rickey Zabaldo who has made room 316 one of the most attractive in the building by having students in his Spanish classes paint colorful fiesta murals on the walls.
