During the week of Homecoming, students participat- ed in a dress-up day, tennis shoes and jean day, punk rock day, shade and tie day, and blue and white day. Spirit days get everyone fired-up for the week's big event, explained senior Val Slocum. Camouflage clothing and army tags are other popu- lar dress apparel for spirit days. Although some students did not participate in the festivities, they still showed their enthusiasm by egging on those who did dress for the occasion. Dressed accordingly, sophomore Mary Sedlacek arrives at school after being initi- ated for girls' cross country.

J st for fun ow many times during the school year did you find yourself bummed out from the setting of the classroom? You needed to unwind. Everyone felt that way sometime during the year, and all found a way to relax. During the weekends, you could find J-Hawks at lo- cal hangouts such as Chapmans, Godfathers, or on First Avenue. For others, it was jogging or spending long afternoons at the park being kissed by the sun. , After school jobs took up the free time of many Jefferson students. I had a job but l gave it up for basketball, commented senior Debi Gaskill. l'll have to find another one to help pay for college, even though I like the extra time I have without having a job. After school activities are important to Jefferson students and they use their free time to its fullest po- tential. Enjoying a game of foosball are Chris Leonard, Scott Lauer, Steve Hanisch, and Pete Dellos. While others are having fun, juniors Dave Edwards, Troy Walker, and Todd Cook work hard improving their skills. Working on the scenery for the spring musical, The Boyfriend, is one thing junior Lonny Orcutt finds to do in his spare time. 18 After School Activities
