NMWM-..... .W xxx --. Senior Kim Klamerus and junior John Mulherln get down to the sound of the beat. Public Disturbance. a band composed of Jef- ferson alumni, enjoyed playing at the mixer sponsored by Senior Senate. Mixer provide fun for dancing J-Hawk I8 Mixers ights are flashing and the strobe is turning as students boogie to the beat of the music. Dances and mixers are very popu- lar among Jefferson students. Junior Linda Still commented, I enjoy going to mixers, and l feel others enjoy them too. D.J.'s supplied the music for most of the mixers. They added to the mixers by having dance contests, giv- ing away albums, and pleasing the crowd. The band Public Disturbance, which is made up of former Jefferson students, also provided music for some of the dances this year. Senior Ann Hamory commented, Since the group included former graduates, they seem to add the J-Hawk spirit to their music. Most of the dances and mixers are organized as fund raising activities for various rou s, such as O.E., TSI. Mat Maids, Thespians, and Senior Senate. Other dances that are not or- ganized as fund raisers are Home- coming, WPA, and senior prom. Since these dances are more formal occasions, they take weeks of prep- aration. Senior Greg Hulbert com- mented that, lt's nice to have WPA when the girls have to pay for dinner and tickets! The administration plays a major role in dances and mixers. Associate Principal Donald Hoeppner stated, The students should understand, we have mixers because the administra- tion is willing to supervise them. Without their cooperation many of these events would not take place. All in all. dances and mixers are an enjoyable form of entertainment. - Angie Werden Senior Kim Vifian jams out with friends at the Senior Senate mixer.

Let' ear it fan QQ et's get in on the action! We can start by going to the football game tonight. With the new slogan J-Hawks are Winners students came out in full force to support their school, their teams, and most of all, to have a good time. J-Hawk fans kicked off the year by cheering the football players to a most successful 6-3 season. During the midst of the football season came Homecoming. Maria Lindsay was crowned queen on Fri- day, October IO, at the Jefferson vs. Dubuque Senior football game. The following Saturday night over 500 people gathered in the cafeteria to join in at the annual Homecoming dance. Deb Ficken entertains the audience at the Wash pep assembly by recreating a scene from the movie. Caddy Shack. Girls' and boys' cross country and boys' gymnastics were other events which drew fans. Although the fan turnout was light the enthusiasm was overwhelming. The great excitement, combined with hard work, brought boys' gymnastics and girls' cross country state championship titles. In early November the fine arts de- partment worked hard preparing for the play, You Can't Take lt With You, and a Concert Choir program. Fall was a very busy time for .I- Hawks. - Patty Graham Tina Steffen. Scott Staton. ,lim Casey. Sue Vanek, Jeff Grummer. and Margaret Hoy ham it up as they leave the Homecoming dance.
