18 Flashing Cinderella smiles in the hours before midnight, Ingrid Pereira and Jenny Pope enjoy the dance’s enchantment. What’s Up Doc? Alicia Dodds, dressed as a member of the familiar septet, seems to have lost her six pals and Snow White.

What's bigger than a breadbox and has fewer members than the Pee-Wee Herman fan club? You got it! It’s our OMe away from home. TJHSS ¢ | eee | Our class may be little, but it has peo- ple in it who have big ideas and potential. Right under our roof we have future Robotic Technicians, Geophysicists, Cytotechnologists, Hydrologists and even a few Histopathologists. But wait! Potential isn’t the only thing our school is big on. The science department is pretty big on biology tests and research papers that most students have trouble finding time in which to do them. TJ is probably the only school in which you'll see bigger bookbags than the people carrying them. We have very long days com- pared to those of other schools. (Did you know that by the time we graduate we will have had 1 full year more of high school than other students?) Long rides on little buses are trendy for Prince William and Loudon Coun- ty students. Each school year, the average ride on a bus will be 366 hours. That is about 15 days on a bus. There may not be many of us, now, but as the saying goes, “The biggest things come in the littlest packages.” We are all one big gift to the future. by Beth Holleran and Julie McMahon 17.

There was once a principal who found ears And from students he received many cheers With no time for discipline And mousketeers whistlin’ He said, ‘‘Where’s Disneyland from here?” A Disneying Week Ends in Magic Well, the first part of Spirit Week sort of fell flat. But by Saturday, things were hopping. It was the last time that Jefferson students would have the oppurtunity to welcome alumnae back to the campus. The theme was “Mickey Mouse” and it was a Disneying week of events. There were reasons for the slow start. Monday, October 6 was underclass picture day, and also Tootsie Day. One of the freshmen said, ‘‘Who wants to be photographed as a girl, or the other way around?” The second day was N erd Day, slightly more successful but still drawing an unenthusiastic response. By Wednesday, things were picking up as would-be Romans dotted the halls in togas that ranged from the classic (white) sort to the choo-choo train and bear variety. The toga rule was that shoulders were covered. By Thursday, jamsin bold colors and ‘‘shades” made beach day a popular day. Soaring temperatures didn’t hurt at all. Thursday also marked the hall contest day. This familiar rite ends with knocking down the decorations before the next day. Too bad forthe masters of the magic kingdom. Princesses Jenny Pope, Ingrid Periera, Jennifer Liner, and Jennifer Hall rei gned a few brief hours at the game on Friday night played against Fairfax. The dance, on Saturday night was where the real magic began. Freshmen take ‘floats’ seriously. Here a creature used to catching the waves, was a floating float at the parade. Out of the Doghouse the Colonials counted on Pluto to keep the Rebels in line. Here, Cindy Deller, Cindy D’Agostino, and Torrun Yock guard the house.
