A near miss is as good as a mile in this case. Don’t find
yourself hopelessly behind on that term theme, dropping
down terribly on tests or failing to get the assigned home-
work. Like it has been said many times over, “we’re almost
there ... !” It’s too late and worth too much to quit now!

school board might frown on this
idea.
Diefie has a few secrets. The
thing most people don’t know
about her is that she has precious
uncut stones around her base, not
to mention the philodendron and
croton growing there. The pre-
cious stones include amethysts and
agates. They were placed at her
base several years ago to enhance
her looks but have disappeared
ir.to her soil and roots.
Treasure hunting anyone?

3 Departments
To Enter Projects
The art, homemaking, and in-
dustrial arts departments will en-
ter the Student Crafts Fair, open
to grade levels 1-12, on May 3
and 6. Anyone at TJ may enter
and eliminations will be held to
determine the 50 entries each
school may submit.
The only entries chosen to date
arc from the metal, wood, and
electric shops. The others will be
judged prior to the contest.
In metal shop, Bill Savard is
entering an oscillating cylinder
engine. Don Crook is entering a
collate, and Ronnie Fite is enter-
ing a boring head for the school’s
mill. It will enable the user to
to make more accurate cuts on the
mill.
The wood shop has four entries.
Larry Day will enter his set of
bunk beds made in the shop. Mike
Johnson will compete with his
stereo cabinet. Fred Ryan has
two end tables and coffe table.
Ray Robinson has a large bowl
which he turned on the lathe as
his entry.
Geoffrey Dransfield, Robert
Rave and Reid Brandon will repre-
sent the electric shop. Reid will
enter his transmitter and Jeffrey
and Robert will enter an electronic
tach.
The Jefferson art department
will be entering paintings, draw-
ings, printmakings, sculp'ure, two
dimensional crafts, three dimen-
sional crafts, and miscellaneous.
The homemaking department
will announce entrants at a later
Many new students have enrolled
recently from other schools in the
Dallas area.
Patty Gruber, 3 A, and Tom
Ninke, 2A, are from Highland
Park High School. Patty says
she “likes TJ better every day;
everybody is so friendly.” At HP
she was a member of High Lights,
a club for girls and was very ac-
tive in the Future Nurses Club.
A “big, brown haired, brownish-
green eyed boy who is very. ivy-
league,” is her description of the
ideal boy. Patty likes all sports.
Tom Ninke says, “I like TJ;
it’s a friendly school. The stu-
dents are nice.” Tom likes foot-
ball and swimming. His ideal girl
is one who stands “about 5’8”,
brown hair, brown eyes, and is
Toward the end of the school year there comes the ever-
present epidemic of the dreaded disease, Spring Fever.
The symptoms are positive evidence that “it won’t be
long now.”
The not caring about tests, day dreaming and lack of
properly prepared homework are all characteristic of one
who is afflicted. This nonchalance, however, is not carried
over to the student’s life outside of school. Such things
as graduation teas, sports events, and spring dances are
not by-passed and enjoyment of these facets of a student’s
life are full and happily enjoyable.
It’s a tragic occurrence however to that senior who needs
the one-half credit in one of his subjects to graduate. In
this case "Senioritis" is very painful both now and in later
years.

THE REVEILLE
In Room 147 there lurks a
‘monster” that needs to push
through the ceiling.
This particular type of “mon-
ster” is called a Diefenbachia. Ac-
tually, it’s an African jungle
plant which poses as mascot for
the Art Service Club.
At present, the Diefenbachia has
twelve mature leaves and one ba-
by leaf. It is five years old and
growing steadily. In fact, it grows
too steadily. Diefie (pronounced
dee-fee) has now reached a height
of eight and one-half feet. Where
it stands at present, its top leaves
touch the ceiling and bend over.
Many suggestions have been of-
fered in an effort to solve the
problem. Mrs. Claranelle Weekly,
a typing teacher, having raised
Diefenbachia herself suggested
dissecting it and planting the
pieces separately to grow a bunch
of little Diefies. Miss Marion
Cole, the art teacher, liked this
suggestion, for, she says she could
form a wall of Diefenbachia
around her desk and teach in se-
clusion. But her sentiment for
plant overwhelmed her desire for
freedom from students.
Miss Mozelle Welch, the librari-
an, has a spot marked off in the
library for the plant. She hopes
that Miss Cole will be kind-hearted
enough to donate it.
Some have suggested placing
the plant outside, but, being an
African, it would die in the dry
Texas weather. Others believe
one of the sky lights in the art
room should be removed, the plant
placed under it and be allowed
pretty.” Tom plans to attend a
small teacher’s college and become
a teacher.
Brown-haired, green-eyed Me-
linda Broughton, 3A, hails from
North Dallas. TJ is so big com-
pared to North Dallas ... so many
people.” Melinda is a member
of Junior Achievement. She feels
that student responsibility is good,
if students stick to it.” Although
she is undecided about college,
Melinda plans to attend North
Texas State University.
Kay Peters, 2A, was a member
of the sports club at Ursuline
Academy. Along with sports, her
hobbies include dating and danc-
ing. Her ideal boy should be “tall,
handsome, considerate, with blue
eyes, and dark hair.” Texas Tech
is her proposed college.

Billy Atkinson correctly identi-
fied the last “Faculty Cutie”,
Mr. Carl Finley, vice-principal.
So, here are the clues to help
you identify this little “cutie.”
1. This cutie was named to
•Who’s Who” at SMU.
2. She was editor of her high
school newspaper and annual. One
small problem though was that
she “didn’t like journalism.”
3. This “little darling” was
never mischievious, because she
was always “terribly mature.”
Now, start thinking and turn in
your answers to Mrs. Maurine
Fussell in Room 140 and win a
free issue of THE REVEILLE.

'Hellos Echo
Through Halls
“Hi there, Bobby!”
The halls echo with hellos from
8 am. to 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday, September to May. What
types of people produde these
echos ?
The Ghost—his hello reaches
your ears after 20 people have
just passed. Who was—
The Shy One—the eyes look
ahead, but the mouth moves.
The Politician — nuge smile,
wide eyes, “How’re ya’ doin’
fella! ’
The Flirt (alias The Winker)—•
no words, just smiling eyes.
The Grade Schooler—the one
who brings back memories of long
braids or freckles as he speaks the
one-word communication you’ve,
held for years, “Hi.”
The Traffic-Blocker—stops to
say hello and soon makes you
wonder if he weren’t birthmarked
with an LP phonograph needle.
The Teller—sees you at the end
hall'and really makes an echo!
The Dreamer—“Huh. Did you
say something?”
And then there’s the person
who brightens your day with a
sincere smile and, “How is it go-
ing?”
