Thank God It’s Friday Friday Morning. What a sound. After a week of torment, students sighed with relief. The thought of Friday morning led to the great revelation that it would soon be Friday night. Only the afternoon stretched between students and the weekend. After grueling hours of tests, homework, and more homework throughout the week, Friday was a time to be rowdy. Dressed in grubby attires, students enjoyed Friday more than any other day. The din of students on Fridays was so great, that even the radio station in the lunchroom could not drown the voices. After a week cooped up in school, students were not about to restrain their excitement. There’s no telling what can happen on Friday afternoon as junior Shannon Murphy has found. TGIF • 17

Monday Morning Blues Wishing they were home in bed, seniors Stephanie Derksen, Kay Hansen, and Marci McLaughlin take a timeout from homework. Although it was only 5:40 a.m. in San Fransisco, and it was already 8:40 in New York, it was 7:40 at JHS. Time to start another school day and another school week. Monday Morning of a JHS student started with a rousing version of the school song blasting over the loudspeaker. It signaled that homeroom was about to begin. Although most advisors seemed awake, their tempers .were not at their best. Advisees generally tried to be on time, although the Monday Morning dash hit everyone at one time or another. The worst fate of a Jefferson student was when they looked over their schedule only to discover two large groups, a history test, and an unfinished paper due in English. More often than not, students wished they were back in their warm cozy beds. Upon arriving at school, junior Pam Hendricks groggily prepares herself for the long day ahead. Another sleepy Monday Morning is just beginning for senior, Tim Finnerty. 16 • Monday Morning Blues

With their own original style, junior As the dance wears on, seniors Angie Ament and senior Steve Shimota Margaret Scinto and Lincoln student “get down.” Brad Ericksen steal a kiss. 18 • Sadie Country Couples Swing At Sadie Foot stomping music, square-dancing, and rowdy people were all a part of Sadie. For over 310 couples, the Sadie Hawkins dance was unforgetable. Dressing up in anything from big boots and overalls, to cutoffs or full skirts was part of the tradition of Sadie. But the favorite part of Sadie was that girls asked the guys. It was the guys turn to see how well their girlfriends drove, and if they were courteous enough to open doors for them. The J.J.’s who sponsored Sadie, did their best to create the right atmosphere. Popular Marryin’ Sam was busy throughout the night, with his last ceremony, a community wedding. Unless a couple was anxious to head for the honeymoon hideout, the crowd didn’t seem to mind waiting in the long lines. The band Fancy Free also helped create the mood. They played both rock and their country version of “Mountain Dew.” Swinging to the beat of Fancy Free are seniors Mary Asp and Art Pearson. Marryin’ Sam does honors for senior Joe Schoen and St. Olaf student Ann Walters.
