Famous Tiles and Famous Alum

February 11, 2009: Tile expert, author, and 1958 Jefferson graduate, Susan Toomey Frost, attended the Thomas Jefferson High School Historical Preservation Society meeting and gave the Board a short presentation about the Jefferson tiles that are a part her new book due out in September 2009. The book entitled, "Colors in Clay," includes six pages of images and discussion about some of the tiles that adorn our school. She even showed the board original drawings that eventually became the tiles on the "Pan American Table" that is now in the school library. After seeing drafts of her book's pages, several board members were ready to buy a copy; we'll have to wait, but we'll also be first in line to get a copy. Susan's website is www.susanfrost.org. A visit will be well worth your time.

Is Multimedia All That New?
1960 Audio Supplement to Monticello

The 1960 Monticello came out in print as usual, but there was a surprise that came along with it. The Sights of '60 was the yearbook's theme. "Well, what about the sounds?" someone asked at an editorial meeting. The Monticello supplied the sights. This recording, sent to TJHS.com by an alum, shared the sounds of the year. You'll be struck by the sound bites of the school song played by the band, the fight song at a pep rally, the archaic recording, and the unabashed use of prayer and mention of God. This is truly a time capsule treasure. listen ]
