Gentleman of Esteem and High Ideals We at Jefferson are extremely fortunate to have as our prin- cipal Mr. Braulio Alonso. This man is perhaps one of the great- est intellects of our community. Mr. Alonso takes active part in local, state and national edu- cational associations and is constantly involved with both church and political affairs. As school spirited as any principal, Mr. Alonso sets an ex- cellent exalnple for all the faculty to follow. He takes an active part in all school functions. Mr. Alonso takes great pleasure in traveling, but unfortu- nately his busy schedule does not allow for this time-consuming endeavor. During Mr. Alonso's four years at Jefferson our school has seen many advances. For instance the patio was built during his administration. The full scale job of relandscaping the school has been taken on and the lighting fixtures have been improved. Mr. Alonso is often considered one of the best educators in Tampa. His keen personality and close student-principal re- lationship makes him well known and well-liked by all. He is considerate to the teachers and with their help has brought Jefierson's academic standards to an all-time high. Important decisions on school matters are made by the School Boardg left to right: J. Crockett Farnell, Marvin Green, Al Chiar- monte, Ben Hill, Clyde McLeod. 21
