20 I Life Golden Fridays In the beginning with the erection of the first Jefferson many moons ago, the students came upon a problem. They found it difficult to become excited at their weekly football games when they had to study every day during the week without a break. The Principal saw the students' grades were dropping and knew he had to give them something to look forward to. Something was needed to raise their spirits for the football games, something that would allow them to romp and stomp and scream and yell!!! Through his ultimate wisdom he found the answer. And so, on that day a tradition was born in which each week on Friday, at a certain time of day, a cry would arise from the multitude and proclaim to all that it was time for THE PEP RALLY!!! rg .Lal

vw i 22 X Life Involvement and enthusiasm is what Spirit Week, 1978 was all about. As the week progressed, more and more people braved it and dressed up for the occasion, but for most it was to show their school spirit rather than to just be with the crowd. The fun-filled week started out with everyone wearing dresses and suits as it was Dress-up Day. Tuesday put all the jocks and jockettes in their glory for it was Sports Day. Wednes- day was Fifties Day, so the scene was greased hair, long skirts and straight- legged jeans. Thursday brought out many outrageous hats and astonish- ing T-shirts for it was Crazy Hat and T- shirt Day. Friday was mellowed down for our traditional blue and gold day. The last day was highlighted by the signing of footballs and megaphones on the football players' and cheerlead- ers' lockers. It's G1'eatT0 Be A jefferson Dragon
