From Start To Finish Togetherness is a Jefferson ideal JEFFERSON. The land of multi- ing the test. We practiced to- colored carpets and hall monitors. But as JHS students discovered, there was a lot more to our school than just the color of the lockers. 1986 meant a lot of changes at Jefferson. It meant teachers and hall monitors constantly in the halls. It meant a mad rush to get the few parking permits available. It meant a whole new administration. But there was even more. There was a sense of unity, because from the first bell on September second to the last exam on June second, we were in it together. We dealt with all the changes together. We car pooled for parking permits. We shared hall passes. We even laughed at the interior decoration (or lack of it) in our halls. During school we studied together — sometimes even dur- gether on all of our teams, and if we lost, we ran laps together. Together, we ran to Tom Thumb to get a tub of pop before flag practice. And, when all the practicing came together, we supported and cheered for each other at our plays, at our concerts, at our games, and at any other activity that demanded an audience. And in the end, when out of the blue the year was over, we left together, taking with us many memories of Jefferson. ASPIRING ARTIST.

Jefferson: A Way Of Life For Students Jaguars grow, reflecting the lifestyle of the Blue During our years at JHS we continued to grow, both physically and mentally. Our high school experience was the typical one. It involved doing homework the hour before it was due, being dedicated to that winning hockey team, or just staring at that special someone across the lunchroom. For nine months we attended six classes a day. We perused Red Badge of Courage and learned all we wanted to know about early American colonists and the relationships between the sides of a right triangle. For six minutes between classes we put learning on hold and drank that smuggled can of Coke, a contraband at JHS, found out who had asked who out for the upcoming weekend, or just complained about the amount of homework our teachers had assigned. This was usually done by shouting across crowded locker bays (it was hard to keep a secret) or passing notes via a friend of a friend of a friend. As we experienced life at JHS, it rubbed off onto us. Our personalities couldn't help but be re- flective of the Jaguar way of life. Everywhere we went, it showed ... we had come out of the Blue. FRIENDS FOREVER. Laura Frana, Sara Lofquist, Tara Layton and Tina Douglas enjoy decorating for the Homecoming parade. ON THE LIGHTER SIDE.
