chase of either the ring or pin.
Meet John Noyes—
Not too long ago I met a new Jeffersonian. His name was
John Noyes. He enjoys and has more “fun” in assemblies
than he ever has by talking and disturbing his small classes
during the rest of the week.
Often when he whistles and makes noises in assemblies,
boys and even girls (though they just giggle and laugh)
join him. When they all have “fun” the teachers don’t do
anything to just him alone so he feels safe.
The reason he behaves this way stems from the fact that
assemblies are dull. Of course he’s never listened to one
but his “friends” have told him. He had the most “fun” of
the whole year in the Choir Assembly—at least he and his
“friends” made the most noise. He has also done well at
recent pep assemblies.
Who are the JOHN NOYES of our school? Do you know
them?

REVEILLE SPIRIT
For those students at T. J.
who don’t know the school song
and a few of the yells, the Rev-
eille is printing this material.
Rights and Religions—
There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with any religion
or religious sect.
Putting these disagreements into an opinion of an individ-
ual whose sect is one you disagree with is wrong. As trite as
it may sound, people’s religious convictions are their own
business. One has a right to question their religion but not
their belief. People should be evaluated on an opinion of
their character, not an opinion of their religion.

LOST LOVE
Twilight falls, and the shadows of
Early night match those of my
heart.
Darkness quietly surrounds me,
Leaving me in a pit of loneliness.
Slowly the stars dot the sky, and
You haunt my reverie.
I dream of things that used to be,
And the shadows stealing across
my heart
Grow deeper with each thought.
In my solitude I cry for you.
In my loneliness I die for you.
My heart cries out in anguish—
I toss and turn to no avail,
For sleep comes not.
The night winds now taunt me
With their lonesome wail,
Whispering in the night of the
Love I have lost.
—Patsy Rogers, 3B.
Tomorrow's Voters—
The day was November 9. Quite a variety of facial ex-
pressions were seen in the halls of Jefferson. Many students
had remained. awake most of the night listening to the
election returns. With a likely Kennedy victory, some faces
wore smiles. The frowns signified disappointed Nixon sup-
porters. The election is over and a president-elect has been
announced.
There were bitter arguments and a profusion of campaign
buttons worn around TJ even though none of the Rebels
were old enough to vote.
This is a good sign since it shows that today’s youth can
and will be tomorrow’s leaders because they have shown
sincere interest in the choice of our nation’s leader.
In the 1964 presidential election a majority of TJ’s
present seniors will be allowed to vote. If the interest shown
in this election does not lag in four years, many Rebels will
help decide America’s fate in 1964.
answer, so I asked him why. “My
room gets too cluttered!”
Lynn Watson, who will probably
despise me when I reveal this hor-
rible secret, said, “Why, put it on
my bed with all my other stuff,
what else?”
Carolyn Kinkle replied, “Try to
get rid of it by rolling it away.”

Books Bring Knowledge—
As never before, knowledge and understanding are the
indispensable requisites of—the great challenge to the
functioning citizen of today, no less than the boy and girl
about to become the responsible citizen of tomorrow. This
is dramatically brought out and emphasized by the com-
prehensive collection of some 400 new books, the output of
45 of the country’s leading publisher, encompassing 27
inclusive and basic subject areas, ranging from advice,
guidance and fiction to philosophy, science and religion.
The collection presents what is outstanding in contemporary
publishing and writing—important contributions from the
arts, sciences and other disciplines. While designed pri-
marily to appeal to high school pupils, the exhibit will also
have broad interest for adults, since a ma j ority of the books
included in it are adult publications.
Organized and arranged by subjects, and covered by an
annotated catalogue, which is numbered to correspond to
the numbered books, the exhibit makes the books of the
viewers’ interest readily accesible.
The Thomas Jefferson Book Fair will be held Dec. 12-17.
T. J.’s school song is
THE REVEILLE
When the Aurea Tri-Hi-Y took
the children from Juliette Fowler’s
Home to the zoo, one puzzled lit-
tle girl was in complete wonder-
ment when she saw a hyena and
asked Joan Leonard what was in
the cage. Joan’s reply was a
hyena. “A hinney!" asked the lit-
tle girl. “I never saw one that
looked like that.”

just love Suing Steady QcHrttuie!
Jefferson’s version of the Gallup
Poll proved to be another close
contest this month. A survey was
conducted ’round Rebel land in
which 200 students and teachers
participated. The question, do you
think going steady in high school
is good, or “for the birds?”
brought out many varied opinions.
Each class individually and the
school as a whole both agreed
that going steady is acceptable for
high school students. After inter-
viewing juniors and seniors, it
was found that they did approve
but the margin was slim in both
classes. The sophomores, how-
ever, felt wholeheartedly that go-
ing steady was the only way!!!
Then there are the teachers . . .
Being ones to rationalize, they felt
there were good and bad points.
After deep concentration, they
unanimously agreed that the bad
points outweighed the good points.
Has anyone approached you with
a crazed look in his eye asking
what an Otternegg is? No,
they’re not as frustrated as they
sound. I have asked several peo-
j pie around Jefferson what they
would do with such a . . . uh . . .

replies:

Kattie McKenna said with a
hopeless look, “Okay, okay, I give
up! What is it?”
Tom Smith said, emphatically,
“Sell it!”
Donna Dungan stated sarcasti-
cally, “I’d give it a ‘negg’ and put
it out! Naturally ...”
Jo Lynn Randle said with that
look in her eye, “Eat it!!!”
Burt Finger proclaimed, “It
sounds fierce, I’d put it in a cage.”
Margie Brude’s eyes resembled
$‛s when she said, “I’d save it if
it was valuable.”
“Big” Bruce Teargarden said,
“I don’t know, but I doubt if I
could lift it!”
Donna Spence said, “It sounds
real furry, I’d probably sleep
with it!”
Sue Morehead said, “I’d try to
find out what it is!”
What is an otternegg? Why, a
rotten egg, of course!!
