Charlie Jefferson was a man of many firsts. He was a member of ORR’s first graduating class, having previously attended Wareham High School, where he was an all star football player. Charlie was named captain of ORR’s first football team, and he played in ORR’s very first interscholastic athletic competition, when his football team defeated Dighton-Rehoboth 14-6. A tough-as-nails left guard, Charlie was the only ORR athlete to be named to the Standard-Times All Star football team that season, and he was also a Tri-County Conference All Star. Charlie also competed in winter track and played baseball and was named Most Valuable Athlete of the Class of ’62.
