Student Life Student life took on a new look at Jeff this year. Football games brought out record crowds, as blue pride soared high, A change was apparent at assemblies, when students were assigned seats. For the first time a theme was applied to tell what being a .l-Hawk was all about. J-Hawks are Winners bumper stickers, t- shirts, and hats were common sights, especially sported dur- ing the beat Wash and Kenne- dy weeks. Homecoming, WPA. and mixers helped to break up the daily routines and kept the .l'Hawks feeling like winners throughout the year. --Ann Scholl.

The cheerleaders and pom pon girls did their cheers and routines to help promote spirit, as well as the pep band leading loyal J-Hawks in the fight song at every assembly. Stu- dent and faculty spirit and support helped the J-Hawks to achieve many victories. This year's assemblies had a new and controversial requirement . . . assigned seating for students and faculty. Students had to sit with their homeroom teachers in a designated section of the bleachers. Attendance was taken to keep students from skipping assemblies. The purpose of all this was to keep the student body orderly during assemblies. Student Council held its Homecom- ing bonfire on October 9. An esti- mated crowd of 350 students came to show their spirit for Jefferson. Football players, pom pon girls. and cheerleaders helped to get the .I- Hawks fired-up for the big day. -Janis Kint Hosting a bonfire for the student body during Homecoming festivities has become a Student Council tradition.
