Thomas Jefferson High School - Monticello Yearbook (Tampa, FL)

FORWARD BUUND We live in a thrilling world of speed and excitement that during our lifetime has entered a new era. Through modern science, man has gained new and greater heights, and yet reaches ever forward toward higher goals. Our cover represents this elevation of man. Herein the l957 Monticello we are trying to show the influence that the rapidly changing world has exerted upon our community, our school, and us, the youth of today. Rock 'n roll, hot rods, as well as the urge to join and be active in organizations, and an awakening regard for the slide rule, are our expressions of the speed and progress of our restless age. Sensitive to the terrifyingly dramatic advances of science and the resulting socio-economic implications, we are gravely aware of the great challenge that our future offers. Jefferson High School has helped prepare us to meet this challenge. Ever in harmony with the developments that each day brings, our school has in- troduced to us each new step forward, be it science, social theory, public relations, or the needs of the world about us. Our teachers, together with our parents, have guided us ever forward morally, spiritually, and' intellectually. They have given us the opportunity in our classes, in our club and in our varied activities to explore and rehearse our life-parts. We feel that we are ready to take places in an adult world, to accept the responsibility of life and the world's challenge to our generation. gQ0bz,o. Editor
