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
