Steppin’ out of Bloomington aca on' al1 1 ever wanted, v Vacation, had to get away. These lyrics, sung by the GoGo's, became a student motto at one point in the year. When spring fever struck, students were careful not to go over the dreaded 12 absences. Many students saved unused sick days for ski trips and road trips to visit colleges. After a dozen visits to a travel agency, the blueprints were laid out. Spring break was anxiously awaited by seniors traveling together, and some underclassmen planning vacations with families. Popular hot spots included Florida, Texas, and Hawaii. While heading for the tropics, thoughts of curfews, parents, and school were left far behind. Visions of sandy beaches and tan bodies danced in their heads. Students stocked up with plenty of Tropical Blend, new' swimming suits, and enough money to make it for a week away from home.

From Alabama to Suicidal Tendencies, music wars were battled in the halls of JHS. Madonna captured the title of top female vocalist. The poll also revealed the Suburbs and Limited Warranty as the two most popular local bands. A Jefferson student was also likely to suffer the wind, rain, and cold to get those precious front row tickets to concerts, such as 1 rated Bruce Springsteen. According to a yearbook poll, most popular bands at Jefferson were U2 and Van Halen. Favorite male vocalist was Prince. Whether it was heard privately by Walkman or publicly through stereos built into lockers, a persons musical taste was sure to be found somewhere within JHS.
