as It heerleaders show spirit, pep, and pride At every athletic event there are certain girls who al- ways attend. These girls go to every game, home or away. and are always ready to cheer on the athletes. These girls are commonly known as cheerleaders of which there are I I squads. Though cheerleading takes a lot of practice and knowl- edge of the sport, the benefits of being on the squad make the hard work worth it. Senior varsity wrestling cheerleader, Patty Gilmer, stated, I met lots and lots of people going to the meets and I liked that. The other cheerleaders and athletes are usually really nice. Being both a fall and a winter cheerleader has its ad- vantages. During the fall, decorating the athletes homes can prove exciting, but the winter cheerleaders have few worries about the cold weather outside when cheering. Being supportive, sharing their teams wins and losses, and always showing up ready to cheer their team on is what being a cheerleader is all about. -Lori McDowell My I was 3 MMM 4 1

Varied looks of surprise appear on the faces of spirited J-Hawks Sue Vanek, Reid Boyer, Peggy Colbeck, and Lisa Zingula. O mll tell Il miles weren't hard to find during a normal school day at Jefferson. Whether they were seen before school. at lunch, or after class, a smile was a very prominent facial expression flashed by students. Many other expressions were also commonly found. They were seen widely throughout the year. There was that bored look on some when 8:20 arrived every weekday morning. There was that unbelievable look on others after passing a class they thought they had failed. And we all shared that proud and excited look after winning a deserved victory over our crosstown rival-Washington. Football games, mixers, parties, plays, or the local Godfather's hang out were all places where you could find students expressing themselvesf The traditional pep 2 5, assemblies in the gym also brought reactions. Yes, the new seating arrangement did put a damper on the liveliness and excitement usually found at these assemblies, but all in all, the pep and rowdiness still prevailed. As usual, there were also the few sad and disappointing times each student faced during the year. In the end, however, after realizing we just went through three hard years of schooling, we all could sit back, smile, and reminisce about all the good times we had here at Jeff. - Mary Thompson
