Homecoming Week Makes Excitement Spirit at Jefferson reached a high point during homecoming festivities It all started with a bang. On Wednesday, October 8, Coronation was held and Homecoming week began. The powder puff game proved that girls could do anything guys could do. The male cheerleaders were very lovely. As usual, the senior ladies showed the underclass girls who was boss with a score of 14-0. Friday afternoon the Jefferson halls were deserted. All were gathered in the gym for the pepfest activities. The sophomores and juniors tried to out-cheer their elders but were drowned out by the spirit of the seniors. Later, the JJ's entertained all by kicking their heels to the beat of the band. Jefferson's crosstown rivals, the Kennedy Eagles, bowed down to the Jags at the Homecoming game. The final score at the Bloomington stadium was 28-3 in Jefferson's favor. For the small price of one dollar, Jags sent out carnations to the ones they loved (red), the ones they liked (blue), their crushes (pink), and the ones they secretly admired (white). Many carried bouquets while some carried just one from that special someone. Spirit Week ended as a success when couples gathered at Jefferson for the Homecoming Dance.

GIVE 'EM A HAND. Seniors give a big round of applause as the 1986-1987 Homecoming Royalty passes by. DO .. RE . Ml. Singing her heart out, Jenny Sanford hits all the right notes and receives a standing ovation. Coronation Events Ease Suspense After students voted, all anticipated the final results For all involved, the Coronation ceremony proved to be the most exciting event of Spirit Week. Suspense filled the air as the crowd was entertained by the Jefferson band and choir. Jenny Sanford thrilled the audience with a solo of Kiss Me in the Rain. Jason Drabek also captured the listeners with his rendition of Memories. Finally, the moment had arrived. There was a loud drum roll, Kevin Lynch was crowned King and Machelle Balistreri, Queen. The new queen let out a cry of surprise that was drowned out by the roar of applause. Tony Porthan and Jenny Garnet, the 1985-1986 King and Queen, gave their crowns to the new royalty. With wide grins. King Kevin and Queen Machelle walked down the runway nodding at the onlookers. Standing together, they were formally congratulated by the rest of the Royalty. Warren Bergan conducted the ceremonies, and a few volunteer students helped to decorate the gym. As the events of the day came to an end, the excitement all but died in anticipation of the game and dance soon to come.
