llale and llearty Sailors Are We Hale and hearty sailors are we! Quite a necessary part of living is the developing of :i sound body. Our classes in physical education and the sports in which we are all free to take part offer us every opportunity for hours of good, clean exercise. A spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play is the aim and result of the teaching by good instructors. Seeking A Vocation? Are you seeking a vocation in the business world? lf so. a visit to our commercial de- partment would be profitable to you. We find typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, and industrial geography are all preparing us for a commercial career. In fact, we even get experience in advance of our graduation, for we may take our re- quired subjects in the morning with a class in Diversified Cooperation Training. Each afternoon we work as apprentices at our chosen profession. Conferences In the DCT Room Drills far Sim and R.0.l'.C. Drills not only apply to academic subjects but also to the R.O.T,C. Each morning we find our boys marching side by side to the tune of a Hup Two Three Fourf, These companies also spend time indoors where they learn among other things, the tactics of handling a rifle. We might add that they learn them pretty well too, for last year our team brought home national honors. Shop offers the opportunity of spending many interesting hours at a useful project to the boys who lilte to do woodwork. Some of them put these lessons to use around school by repairing and making chairs, band stands, and other articles. MR.

J nuary Era ante BETTY GONZALEZ, President, ELBERT NASWORTHY, Vice Prc.'idr'nl, BETTY BENJAMIN, Secretary. Jose Gaspar and his band of pirates found many a hidden treasure in their day, but we feel that none can compare with our treasure chest of memories collected during our memorable years at Jefferson. i Our junior high graduation exercises were the last ones held here. On that night Fletcher Anderson and Betsy Blanton received the graduating awards. As is true with most sophomores, we were a little shy, but Betsy was named into Kiwanettes while others volunteered their serviges for Service Corps, Y-Teens, and Pan American club, In our junior year the treasure chest was filled high, for we gathered many memories in these two semesters. Amaryllis Hesoun and Madge .Kleinhammer became Kiwanettes, Betty Gonzalez an R.O.T.C. sponsor, and Fletcher, Betsy, Ola Sanchez, Wilfred Stowe and Carmen Wyatt received the award of Honor Society membership. Sophisticated seniors at last! This, too, was an important occa- sion in our young lives. The Honor Society tapped Amaryllis, Lynnie Milam, and Carmen Zambito in the spring, while the Key Club recognized the talents of Elbert Nasworthy, Wallace Hen- riquez, and Billy Wood. The last semester passed extremely fast! W'allace became Lt. Col. of R.O.T.C., president of Student Council, Key Club, and a member of Presidents Council. Wilfred climbed to the presi- dency of Honor Society, and Madge, Mary Lodato, Doris Davis and Dora Barbery were added to the rostrum. The Kiwanettes then tapped Carolyn Curry and Ola, while the Key Club added Roy Fulghum. journalism was well represented in our group, for Betsy served as editor of The Jeffersonian in the fall. Ola aided her as assistant editor, and many other classmates also worked on the school paper. As a reward for their journalistic efforts, Betsy, Ola, Maggie Perdoma, and Carmen Zambito were named to Quill and Scroll. On the athletic field we were well represented for Maggie, Carmen Wyatt, and Billy were cheerleaders, Carolyn, Amaryllis, Betsy and Madge, were majorettes, and Henry Verges and Manny Elizarde were football stars. Peg O' My Heart, our class play, starring Sarah Wilson and Elbert, was a huge success. Finally the big night arrived, our treasure chest was overflowing, but there was still room for grad- uation. Fletcher, valedictorian, Ola, salutatorian, and Bety, essayist, prepared us for The Voyage of Life, and, following this, Fletcher and Betsy received the American Legion awards. As a final tribute to us, The Jeffersonian named the following to its Hall of Fame: Fletcher Anderson, scholarship, Billy Wood, military, Ola Sanchez, senior activities, Carmen Zambito, journal- ism, Betsy Blanton, music, Madge Kleinhammer, art, Henry Verges, athletics, Wilfred Stowe, politics, and Wallace Henriquez, organizations.
