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

20 Mixers 4,5599 Q' QQ, C C We Are The Champions blared through the loud speakers and set the Mat Maid mixer off to a rousing success. The mixer was held in the cafeteria following the MVC crowning of our own matmen. The crowd start- ed rockin' and the J-Hawk pride really shined through as they all joined in and sang, We Are The Champions . The Mat Maid mixer was just one of many mixers held to raise money. Other mixers were sponsored by such clubs as O.E., Thespians, Student Council, and T 8: I. Mixers provided a chance to get together with friends and have a good time. Lots of new and zany dances were introduced and punk rockin' was definitely in style. Lots of people were involved in making the mixers so successful. The loyal members who stuck to their various posts, selling tickets and checking coats, were to be commended for a job well done. The faculty and parent chaper- ones were also to be thanked for their tremen- dous support.
