-THERE'S IVIORE TO -- THAN BOOKS Contrary to common belief among the administration and faculty of DHS, stu- dents' freetime is not taken up by extra studying. Students are given the chance to unwind from the pressures they feel during the week. Student Life also consists of time when friends have a chance to be together, strengthening their existing relationships. When not studying, students have the opportunity to get involved in many Deerfield High School activities such as school productions, Homecoming festivi- ties, and social functions. The students of DHS are always look- ing for more free time. Knowing that this time is limited, they make the best use of it as possible. 6 Student Life

Powder Puff accompanied Spirit Week by Building Up the Hype en minutes into the annual Pow- der Puff game, a look of deep concern swept across the faces of the Senior class. The start of something im- possible was coming true. The juniors were winning. This unbelievable cir- cumstance did not last long, though, as the Senior girls, with the ex- cellent guidance of their coaches, pulled them- selves together and came away victorious 36-20. Powder Puff started weeks before as the ju- nior and Senior girls be- gan practicing for their global confrontation. After school girls could obtain a football from Mrs. Meyers and then proceed outside to learn the basics of football. Coaches were chosen by each individual team and then they tried their best to pick positions. Questions such as What is a halfback? and Wait a minute, are you telling me I actually have to run? poured out of mouths of inexpe- rienced junior girls. The Powder Puff game was really amusing. It didn't seem competitive or serious. said Chris Bernstein a junior foot- ball player. Of ,the more interest- ing and original times at DHS, Spirit Week has to top the list. The week, building up the excite- ment of the students and faculty, started off with the traditional col- or day. The students, wearing their designat- ed colors, came up with unique ways to dress in solids and gained points for their respective classes in the Spirit Jug contest. Spirit Week was a lot of fun. I was so surprised that everyone got so into it. I loved seeing everyone dress- up, especially Pajama Day. exclaimed sopho- more Amy Kruss. The week continued with Boxer, Hat and Shades Day. The school halls were transformed into a swarm of Jim McMahon look-alikes. The week ended with Pajama Day and Red and Grey Day, with each gaining more partici- pants as the students geared up for Warrior Weekend. I was so comfortable on Pajama Day that I almost fell asleep during class, ex- claimed junior Laurie Gold. 8 Spirit Week And Powder Puff ,- tzfegmxgaff ., , . .
