Class Officers: Harold Wallace, Linda Medero, Prudye Jo Muniscalco discuss plans for the senior banquet. JEFFERSON SENIORS We, the youth of today, are stepping forward into the most exciting and challenging future of which man has ever dreamed. Atomic power, cosmic energy, universal travel, and journeys to the moon-all of these are paths that radiate into our future. Exciting! Challenging! . . . but frightening. What lies ahead for us? We are now on the brink of a new life. Some of us will further our high school learning by attending college. Eventually we will graduate and take our places in the professional world, as doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, or teachers. Other Jefferson graduates will go directly into the business world from high school. The girls will begin earning their living as stenographers or sec- retaries, and the boys will begin as accountants or sales- men.

For three years we have been guided by our parents and teachers. We have been encouraged to join clubs and participate in school activities. In these three years we have matured, studying, work- ing, and having fun with our classmates. We have made lifeflong friends of some. Others are just acquaintances. Yet it will seem strange when in just a very short time we will no longer see each other every day. Where will each of us be twelve years from now? Twelve years ago, in l945, the Atomic Era shattered our concept of the world with the roaring blast of the first atomic bomb. As this era was beginning, we also began our era of learning.

K At first we were puzzled at the new words we learned, but at the some time we were happy to meet so many new friends. After a few weeks, we adjusted to our new world, filled with new ideas. This was a memorable year, also, because this year we lost our beloved President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. But, most of all it is remembered forthe end of World War ll. During our second year in school, we studied the three R's and struggled to learn them well. Worldwise this was the year when the first radar contact was made with the Moon.
