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.

The Wave of the Future Is... SSPE ROE EN EE LE TE a a SR EE Outstanding in Fields October arrived — and with it came falling leaves, chilly evenings, Hallo- ween, and the freshman field trip. On October 1, 400 enthusiastic students decked out in jeans, sneakers, and layers of sweaters (that were stuffed in backpacks by 10:00), boarded buses for the ride to Mason-Neck Wildlife Refuge, Drainsville or Hemlock Overlook. The bus rides were characterized by ice fights, exchange of the latest gossip and strains of ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall’ (much to the dismay of the frazzled drivers). Nothing in nature can compare with Twinkies. Michael Andrew and Tommy Dolan take a break from observing the ecosystem. Photo by Larry Gaudreault Students arrived at their destinations all set for fun, and anticipating a day free of responsibilities, but instead, were faced with — work!?! But even with reams of data to col- lect, who can resist a few distractions? Certainly not 400 exuberant freshmen. Some water was splashed, some leaves were thrown, some lun- ches were stolen, and some stones skipped, but it was all good clean fun. Well, maybe not quite that clean! On your mark ... Stacy Ison starts her observation from a far away point ... Nervin Fanous gets into the action.
