THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL - CLASS OF 1962
Port Arthur, Texas

 

Going to have to break down and change the place where this website comes from.  These bums have raised my yearly rate again, taking me for an additional $25.  I have found a place that is much cheaper, chatting with them they seem real nice.  I have started the process, it's a major ordeal.  Have to upload all these files which will take awhile. Have to reorient the System in the Internet.  Now they are saying we may be down 5-7 DAYS for the changeover, which will start when I get the over 3,000 files uploaded.

So don't panic if you can't get on here at some point.  Will be working on it.  Pass it on to friends and classmates.

From the PA News 11/13/08 - "Community Scoop" 

 

Class of  1938 had fun


Dorothy Chevis Henry shared a report of the “70th and final” class reunion of the Thomas Jefferson High School Class of 1938 at the Pompano Club.


“On that special day, nine of the original 296 classmates met for a reunion luncheon.  With heads held high, smiling faces, outstretched hands and many hugs and kisses, each graduate was presented with a beautiful name badge, made by fellow classmate Wallace Verrett,” Henry said.


“Everyone had stories to tell.  There was much laughter and some tears too, when they recalled the 23 T.J. graduates who never returned from World War II.  As the reunion was coming to a close, J.E. Harrell and Margaret Parrish Elison, committee members, led the group in singing the school song, ‘The Old Maroon and Gold.’  Some remembered the class motto, ‘Not finished, Just Begun,’” Henry said.
