Allows for the development of many friendships. Among these friendships many will endure and become meaningful rela- tionships. Others will fade away. Friendship is a gift given to a person and should be treated with care. As people grow and change, their directions and interest also change. This often results in the loss of contact with one another. However, memories of our old friends and the times that were shared will always be a special part of our past. 10 f Opening f1f 2! 1 wi -es' ss? iff l 3 f if vw , ' 33 1 R +9 if g Yum 4. N .

They found it difficult to become excited at their weekly football games when they had to study every day during the week without a break. The Principal saw the students' grades were dropping and knew he had to give them something to look forward to. Something was needed to raise their spirits for the football games, something that would allow them to romp and stomp and scream and yell!!! Through his ultimate wisdom he found the answer. And so, on that day a tradition was born in which each week on Friday, at a certain time of day, a cry would arise from the multitude and proclaim to all that it was time for THE PEP RALLY!!! rg .Lal K Life!21 vw i 22 X Life Involvement and enthusiasm is what Spirit Week, 1978 was all about. As the week progressed, more and more people braved it and dressed up for the occasion, but for most it was to show their school spirit rather than to just be with the crowd. The fun-filled week started out with everyone wearing dresses and suits as it was Dress-up Day. Tuesday put all the jocks and jockettes in their glory for it was Sports Day. Wednes- day was Fifties Day, so the scene was greased hair, long skirts and straight- legged jeans. Thursday brought out many outrageous hats and astonish- ing T-shirts for it was Crazy Hat and T- shirt Day. Friday was mellowed down for our traditional blue and gold day. The last day was highlighted by the signing of footballs and megaphones on the football players' and cheerlead- ers' lockers.

Even though the theme was FairytaIes and the idea was make-believe, competition among the clubs was real. Club spirit was not only seen it was heard. Between set ups the entertainment did not cease as the club members participated in a yell-out. The spirit of the participating club members rubbed off on the audi- ence, and before long everyone was fired up. Pretending came easy for most of the clubs. The Civinettes entertained us with The Dragon and the Bean- stalk, while Optimettes' poor little Jeff Arson really got the audience's sympathy in their DragoneIla skit. The climax was not reached until the winning club's name was called. With their version of Knights of the Roundtable the Junior Jaycees reigned number one. ,RS xi MJV QXS 3 f f 1- sf I J Txjv YE? 26 ! Life PRESENTING . . . Part of the fun and excitement of Homecoming Week came from choos- ing among fifteen lovely and active young women for the court. Because the choice was hard to make, people were seen flocked around the display window all of the time studying the pictures. For some, gazing at the girls' pictures could have been called the pastime of the week. Although only five girls make up the court, the ten semi-finalists were as much a part of the festivities. They and their escorts were presented before the crowd of fans at the Home- coming game during halftime. Sonia Cambridge Micheal Green Nancy Knight Alex Rodriguez N ? ips., 1. . gl X, . X.

Just watching her cheer was enough to make everyone want to stand up and holler for Jefferson. Being an active member of DECA also occupied much of her time. N Queen Vanessa Sims Van has spent most of her time per- fecting her cheerleading skills. This was evident when she was awarded the opportunity to tryout for a cheer- leading scholarship and voted one of the top cheerleaders in the United States. Cheerleading was not the only area she directed her attention to. Stu- dent government also kept her very busy all three years. 'F . :WM 0' Ref ' 4 Second Maid Aileen Coleman Neasie's interests vary from shooting baskets and running to modeling. As a member of both DECA and the basketball and track teams, she was able to tit everything into her busy schedule. Her future plans include attending college and majoring in fashion merchandising. 6 Y? Third Maid Cin d y Tiffany The last two years have seen Cindy really enjoying her role as a dancer- ette. She enjoys dancing for personal pleasure as well as for the entertain- ment of the crowd. Along with the other girls, she has put in her share ot long hours and hard work. Cindy's plans are to go to college for a major in special education. M., Ll Fo urtii Maid Denise Lombardi As head dancerette for the 1978-79 season, Denise contributed much to making the squad one ot the best ever. Under Denise's leadership, the squad's routines were more varied and original than in previous years. Denise sees herself attending law school after completing college.

The crowning of Van Sims as 1978 Homecoming Queen highlighted the Homecoming Dance which ended a week of spirit-building. Included in the Homecoming Court were Rita Cacciatore, Aileen Coleman, Cindy Tiffany, and Denise Lombardi. ln addition to anticipating the crowning, the dance was for some a time to socialize, for others it was a chance to show off their happy feet , but for all it was a great evening. Student government was responsible for the success- ful planning of the dance around the theme Three Times A Lady, that had Dusic providing the latest sounds.

AAAA CCDD E633 S522 ln a world full of people, do you ever feel that you are just another average face in the crowd - with a pair of eyes and ears and a nose and mouth? Take another look. Those others are familiar, yet so completely unique to your own. As features are unique to each face, so are facial expressions. All faces reveal feelings differently. Some faces are as transparent as glass, while some faces are like a closed book. An expressive face tells a lot about what a person is thinking and feeling. The face tells much about who a person is inside. Life f 35 36 ! Life Moments Uf Victory 32. 2' S-U-C-C-E-S-S That's the way we spell success! lt's a cute cheer for a football game, but unfortunately suc- cess is not so easily achieved, and vic- tory only graces one side in every bat- tle. The meaning of victory varies from individual to individual. What is taken for granted by some is a victory for others. Whether the triumph was a team effort to be shared by many or a personal triumph to glory in alone, the feeling of being the victor is what is important. Of course, Jefferson did have its defeats and disap,.-'fting moments, but nobody could manag' to slay our mighty dragon. All in all, Jet.'5'son did beat the odds against success. and there were many smiles on the faces of those who triumphed to show for it. Perhaps the biggest was worn by Van Simms the night she won Homecom- ing Queen, although it was probably no bigger than those worn by the faces of those who made the grade. Both were given competition by those who made a basket, scored a goal, caught a pass, or simply made the team. Jefferson certain ly cornered the market on moments of victory.

Somehow, dressing up reflects the way you feel about yourself, and Dragons feel great about themselves from the way that they dress. The clothes worn most often were items that have staying power, such as blazers, longer skirts, whether they be full or straight, and leather boots. Chains were every- where - ankles, necks, wrists, and fingers. Everybody was wearing chains, some three and four at a time. Chains and knotted scarves sparkled up the new straighter legged pants and backless spiked heels. Good news was here for people with naturally curly hair, for the price of perms was very high because of the great demand for them. Although a few guys were seen with suits and ties, the majority stuck to dressing up their jeans with velour, grandfather collared, and pull-over shirts. For the nicely casual look, Ioafer type shoes were enjoyed by both guys and girls. ,r givin 44 f Life Aff' hm.

Together with the mighty Jefferson Marching Band, the halftime show was not just a time to get up and get something to eat or talk about the first half, but a time to sit and watch the show being performed on the field.

It is also a time to meet new people and develop new friendships. Friends can be a source of great help as well as lots of fun. For some juniors, passing or even enduring American history is hard, but having your compan- ions with you makes it more bearable. Staying in class all day is a major accomplishment for most seniors. Getting lost in the halls between classes is a com- mon occurrence for sopho- mores, but having the aid of a friend helps to take the lost feel- ing away. What better way to experience new frontiers than in the com- pany of good friends. These experiences are not always easy, some are rather tough, but the going is always easier when you have a friend by your side. P ia- Ye 48 !

'Si A blue and gold tassel - a symbol of knowledge and accomplishment, earned only by those who have managed to successfully endure three years of high school. From sophomore year through senior year, a person is continu- ously completing the requirements necessary for gradua- tion. Courses such as P.E., American History, and P.A.D., not to mention the test, must be passed in order to gradu- ate. It might be said that high school is an investment because there are many expenses that are not necessarily required, but are very traditional. The buying of yearbooks, class rings, graduation announcements, and caps and gowns are good examples of these traditional expenses. Of all of the things that must be done throughout high school and before graduation, some are real hassles, while others are fun. Some say that it is worth it, some say that it is not, but the hassle is there for anyone who wants to earn that blue and gold tassel. ,U1 3 6 S 52 X Life Orkian Humor Bedlam came to TV during the 1978-79 season with the premiere of Mork and Mindy. That maniac, Mork from Ork, injected viewers with his Orkian humor, only to become TV's number one new celebrity. A combination of Be- witched and My Favorite Martian, Mork and Mindy was often at the top of the weekly charts.

The two countries have been at war for over 30 years. The dispute began over boundaries established after lsrael became a nation in 1948. Toga, Toga, Toga, were three of the most often heard words in this years biggest hit movie, Animal House. The film was full of good old, raunchy college humor, like food fights and wild parties. The movies most ardent fans were college students, who thoroughly enjoyed the destructive- ness of Bluto and his fraternity brothers. However, it also had a wide appeal to those beyond their college years who had rich memories of their college days. IQQQQ f i i .a ., UW, aw, VM 't !nf4wivmaw:mmm-.-i 2-mu, . He 'S N0 Stranger Music exploded during 1978 and 79. Much of this explo- siveness was due to a newer face on the music scene - a very charismatic Billy Joel. Joel was one performer who would not allow his fans to become bored with his music. As a wise sage, he sang of life's experiences. Practically' every month he had a new release. His albums including The Stranger and 52nd Street, were full of songs that made the top 40 list. If' W 'Wil-s. Nine Hundred Die Nine hundred people committed suicie because SOME- ONE TOLD THEM TO. Rev. Jim Jones, a powerful and influential man, led a group of people to a settlement in British Guyana and brain- washed them into working for the People's Temple and turn- ing over all monies. Strongly influenced by Jones, intimi- dated by armed guards, and lulled with sedatives and pain- killers, a self-imposed ritual of mass suicide and murder took place. Jones himself was found dead from a self- inflicted bulletwound.

That was only two years ago. Today, that same order would cost S1 .l8. At this time, the inflation rate is 1 PM That means that the dollar bill is now worth .89yf. President Carter asked that each one of us help by cutting down our spending and con- sumption. Hopefully, with this voluntary action, we as individuals, can STOP INFLATION NOW. R sql 4-9 wx Life X 53 obody Does It Better Most everyone has something that they are good at, but only a few lucky ones can really be called talented. Unless born with a natural talent, those who really want to be great at something, work very hard to reach their goal. To be good at anything requires a lot of patience and work. Although getting there might be a struggle, the satisfaction is there too. Jefferson was full of many talented students who displayed their talents in everything from athletics to fine arts. 54 I Life 15 Acting comes easy for Jeff Day, as he plaed the part of one of the sons in The Sound of Music at the Showboat Dinner Theatre. 25 Strumming on a guitar is just one of C.

Jefferson had its own way of celebrating the joyful occasions. Although anticipat- ing time off from school, students were kept busy with shopping, partying, and also doing what they could to help others. Students cared enough to donate their blood and also to participate in a can food drive for less fortunate families. When students at Jefferson do something, they do it right. During the blood donation drive, Jefferson once again topped its previous record, and the great amount of cans brought in surely brought a smile to the faces of a needy family. When the Art Department participated in the Bayshore Christmas Card Lane con- test, their hard work paid off when Jefferson won second place. No one could mistake the meaning of the holidays around here, for the holiday spirit abounded at Jefferson. 56 1 Life 5 i' U Wondering who sent him a flower, Mr. Cuervo reads curiously. 23 Wanting more than just their two front teeth for Christmas, Dawn Cook and Liz Suarez chat with Santa Claus. 37 Painting after donating blood, Adolpho De Diego gets help from his friends. 45 Civinettes' Debbie Colding brings joy and happiness to the Children's Hospital.

Researchers have yet to diagnose the cause of this strange yet widely practiced dis- ease. The symptoms are always the same. A temperature rise around the middle of March seems to trigger the rest- less, erratic, and luckily, temporary behavior. The major problem in trying to cure this disease is the inability to observe a Jefferson Dragon during spring under a controlled laboratory environment. The disease works in weekly cycles reaching a peak on Fri days, a day on which SSD, JSD, and Sr. SD fSophomore Skip Day, Junior Skip Day, and Senior Skip Dayj is very likely to occur. This is followed by a darkening of the skin, peeling of the nose, and a general devil-may-care attitude. Classes being empty on Fridays, teachers amuse themselves by reading the excuse notes from the preceding Friday. These numerous and obviously forged notes have never failed to bring a laugh. To the date of this report, the only cure for Spring Fever is the last day of school. 4 Q 2 we ex S x ' 1 'I ,Y x ji- if .49 if .

An eight letter word which stands for a football play- er's most dreaded experience. Practice is the one word which instantly brings about a negative reac- tion from football players. It is what makes a good team the best. The var- sity football team worked hard at prac- tice this year trying to be the best. Practice before the game and after school under the coaching staff has helped our team to its numerous victo- ries over other schools. PAIN pain - Cpanjn. What the other team's quarterback feels after being sacked by a Dragon. Although our defense inflicted a large amount of pain upon the oppos- ing teams, our players were not totally immune to pain either. The injuries inflicted upon our team were not seri- ous, but they did prevent some mem- bers from going back into play. Even though in pain, the injured players stayed when possible to see the team through a game. The secondary was well able to fill in for wounded people and our team continued playing its best throughout the year. U The football team shows the gathered crowd a different way to prepare for a game. 23 The pregame workout doesn't look exciting, but it is essential to the game. 31 Hoping he will be able to play in the next game, Fred Stevens grimaces as Coach Rodriquez bandages his foot. 41 Before the game Coach Bellanco delivers some last minute strategy during the jamboree. 53 Billy Demarest's thoughts drift to a tropical par- adise as he takes a water break at practice. 61 After being massacred on the field, Flonald Copeland is carried off by the team doctor. 71 Sarasota's quarterback breathes a sigh of relief as defensive end Dennis lngold is helped from the field. iw' 1- PRIDE pride - fprid5n. Posing for the team picture in your best pants Cwhich are left out of the picture5. The varsity team this year may not have won every game, but they would never let you know it. The team has kept their standards high. David Jor- dan's fine running game and a strong defense led by Fred Stevens are just a few of the tactics the team is proud of this year, although next year's team will be just as proud. . 1 l5During a pep assembly Mark Montegue smiles at his fans as he approaches his seat. 25 That extra burst of speed pulls David Jordan out of trouble toward a touchdown. 35 Excitement prevails as the Dragons burst through the sign to begin another game. 45 Mike Hajaistron and Billy Demarest help cure an opposing player's hunger pains as they make him eat the ball. 55 While wondering how many yards he has gained, Nathan Trigg brushes off a would-be tackler. 65 Nelson Green goes over his anatomy lesson as he tries to decide where to hit the opponent.

How- ever, you will receive the idea that the team is far from perfect. The football team has come close though in many fans' opinions. Almost impossible pass receptions by Andrew Whigham exemplified the team's drive for per- fection during the 78 football season. S.-I 'F 'J X. I Q Q42 'I X. ,J-W .. f A -is ,M ..

With the coaching of lVlr. Willie Wil- liams, expert quarterbacking of Clint Eubanks and Tim Bender, unstoppa- ble running backs Oscar Smith and Elmer Wilson, the J.V. ran over most of their contenders. After winning their first tive games, Jefferson's hopes of going undefeated were shattered after losing to Leto 13- 12 in an unpredictable final game. Though losing only one game, every team member played outstanding football this season. Many Junior Var- sity players will be returning next year to play on the Varsity squad for more experience. 3 4 . 15 After receiving a pitch off, Floyd Walters runs for another J.V. first down. 25 Jefferson's defense puts the crunch on the TBT bunch. 35 Benny Thomas shows his supreme balance while going out for a pass. 45 Practice makes perfect, says wide receiver Otis Williams. 55 Trying for a touchdown pass, J.V. quarterback Tim Bender releases another excellent pass. 65 The offensive line shows off its aggressiveness. 75 Mark Boling suggests to J.V.

Alvin Baker, Veter Dixon, Larry Gowins, and Reggie Hill were among the top returning players from last year. The team spirit was high considering they got off to a very slow start, but came back with two wins against Chamberlain and East Bay. The fighting Dragons put forth a great deal of effort offensively and defensively, but they could not quite get it all together when they got out on the court. The returning coach, Mar- cus Paula, stuck by his team through weeks of hard after school practices and the many games. , , Ill KJV' ll 3 2 ,via A ,V mdk, flies Z Q-- ' J pA5f' N, 2'- A sf Q if L x4 ,Q-ff. ,, ,, M5411 Mi slr .cn !FM,!!,,, ,MN A MWMMWW,, Q, -'saw Q -l ff' il 6 ,f A ' 1 mba V559 'fx n x 010 1 , T ' .JV UN 33 3: 'S ,. sn, Q it 1114, Bottom Row QL to'RD: R.

The key to the J.V. success was the fresh, new coaching of Mr. Hank Mur- phy, who became the coach while still teaching at Greco Jr, High. His leader- ship has created an outstanding J.V. team. Coach Murphy feels each man has done outstanding - a necessity to victory. Each game, the J.V. aver- aged 70 points or more. The best game of the season was against Chamberlain when our team scored 96 points. The offense and defense both deserve credit for that game. The three top rebounders of the J.V. were Dexter McClindon, Moose Gim- blett, and MacKenzie Hawkins. With the rebuilding of the J.V., the team will have sure success for next year's sea- son when the J.V. team takes the place of the varsity squad. 88 f Sports 13 Being double teamed by Chamberlain, Lley- weldon Dowell manages to swoosh one in. 23 ln a iumpball situation, Deter McClendon has full control over his opponent. 33 With Chamber- lain's defense crowded around, McKenzie Haw- kins put two points for Jefferson. 43 Doing what he does best, Franklin Williams' jump shot sinks into the basket. 53 Coach Murphy tries to pep his team in a losing situation. 63 McKenzie Haw- kins dribbles the ball right on down the line passing all defending players.

Many people believe that all there is to wrestling is getting out on the mat, throwing your opponent down, pin- ning his shoulders to the mat and hearing the referee blow his whistle. This is nowhere near the truth. Wres- tling involves many long hours of gru- eling workouts, in addition to running around the track trying to lose those extra pounds. A lot of stamina and endurance is required of the wrestling team. To the Jefferson Varsity wres- tling team, we salute you.

Coached by Stan Cohn and assisted by Everett Bennett, the grapplers will be busy preparing for next year's sea- son. They feel that this year with the help of the retiring seniors they have gained the experience necessary for a winning 1980 season. Members of the wrestling team and their individual weight class are as fol- lows: Scott Hamilton - 101 lb., David Loftly - 108 lb., Jon Knight - 108 lb., Gill Napolitano - 115 lb., Ste- phen Green - 129 lb., Willie Green - 129 Ib., Tommy Johnson - 135 lb., Mark Hamilton - 141 lb., Russell Gray - 148., Dennis Napoli- 158., Tommy Ostertag - 158., Ed Folly - 188 lb., Wallace Hargrove - 220 lb., and Steve Cueto - unlimited. 1 100 f Sports 13 Coach Cohn yells directions to his wrestlers from the sidelines. 23 Tommy Ostertag uses his elbow to his advantage. 33 In a headlock Tommy Johnson and his opponent each strive for more leverage. 43 Putting their heads together before the match helps the wrestling team with their game. 53 Trying to put down his opponent and score more points is Steve LaDue. 63 Mark Ham- ilton demonstrates a two on one take down. 73 Wallace Hargrove, another victorious Dragon. l i 7 n First the handshake, then the approach, and finally the match has started. The winner will be the one scoring the most points in six minutes or pinning his opponent in the time permitted. lt's not easy to pin an oppo- nent. An enormous amount of strength and control are involved, in addition to skill, fitness, and stamina. Some observers feel that the wres- tlers are masochist. But the end result of winning a match is the pride that you have completely dominated the opponent, physically and mentally a definite accomplishment. Although the J.V. wrestler's season isn't a sparkling one, the experience gained will definitely prepare these wrestlers for next year. Struggling To Dominate 102 X Sports Lto R: M. Gonzalez, D.

When the cocoon hatches, the team will sparkle, flame, and burst in locomo- tion in winning the Western Confer- ence title. All this is possible because of sportsmanship, team work, and a lot of practice. Leading this year's baseball team were pitcher Vince Ficarrotta and catcher Porfirio Ramirez.

Coaches Steve Tuliano and Butch Branham combined calisthenics and a repeti- tious running program with daily chal- lenge matches among the players to mold their team into district contend- ers. The windy January weather made practice sometimes difficult, but everyone continued to work hard. Both coaches felt that playing every- day under pressured situations would develop the squad and ready them for the tough season competition. Ranking among the team members was determined by their daily compe- tition among themselves. Nlost of the combinations of doubles teams were tried and tested. The team has high potential and the confidence that is essential for a winning season. With so many returning players, Jeffer- son's aggressive and competitive team may very well surprise a lot of the highly ranked teams in the area. 5 - .1 , 4 , . . o Q, Q, - 'o.

The club swept off to an early start by cleaning the site of each home foot- ball game on Saturday mornings. The money earned from this event went towards the club's banquet fund. Also, five members of the club volunteered to participate in the Brain Brawl tournament which was held in February. The top two teams competed against each other at the State Convention. The traditional induction ceremony was held on March l in Jefferson's auditorium with Sam Rampello, school board member, as the main speaker. The club's members met before and after school in order to prepare for the main event. To be considered for induction into the National Honor Society, a student must have an overall 3.7 average, if a jun- ior and an overall 3.5, if a senior. The faculty then votes on the applicants in regards to leadership, character, service, knowledge, and scholarship. Bottom Row QL to RJ: B. Bosco, E. Clementi, N. Knight, M. Harris, D. Cook. Row 2: D.

Take Time For Today As we prepare to enter our third and final year at Jefferson, a thousand thoughts invade our minds. We are filled with the exciting dreams and anticipations of the future. Yet, we put so much off until then. We think of all the time we have, and as we dream, time passes us by and leaves us so far behind. Still we can only think of tomorrow. But just what is tomorrow? It is the day after today, a degree of time, a fragment of a lifetime, perhaps the beginning, possibly the end. ln fact, it may never come. It is the future, and it creeps up on us so quickly, if it does, in fact, choose to present itself at all. Still, the silly people cry out, Wait until tomorrow. The day is young and so are we! What fools they are! They might die in the night, for the world may pass them by before their tomorrows arrive. We must realize that it is the wise who see their todays for what they are - todays - and they live them as such. They work for their tomorrows, carefully planning them out, but without the foolish dependence that the dreamers use, because none can depend upon tomorrow to be any different. For today is the tomorrow which we dreamed of yesterday. . W L to R Susan Robinson discusses upcoming events with fellow student government representatives.

Joyce McCloud Mrs. Woods 'vs Denise Slaughter Joyce McCloud We started out slowly since Jefferson was something new to us. lt was a chal- lenge, an obstacle to overcome, one that left us better off and richer for the con- quest which we undertook. We succeeded in our first year because we were not alone. We discovered one of the most cherished possessions one can obtain - new friends. The friends who helped us to successfully begin our prosperous three-year journey through Jeffer- son will not be forgotten. They helped us to adapt to all the changes and to make the decisions which accompany high school life. Friends, the intimate associates who lend assistance and yet leave one free of domination. They care enough to help and yet they do not hinder. They share your ideas and yet, have their own. They leave you as individuals as they are themselves. Let us resolve now, as we enter our lunior year, to show our appreciation to all our friends who have helped us along the way. Let us return the favor by making something of ourselves, our school, and eventually, our world. For though we are the youngest, we are the future. if-viii-9 Being on student council has helped to strengthen friendships between the members.

For many of us it's the end of high schoolg for others it's just a pause until August when we shall continue. But to those of us who are end- ing and leaving Jefferson, it's a time to look back on our time spent here. For many of us it was a fun timeg for others it was an ordeal to get throughp but for all it was a time of growing and learning. x ft,1ft12.'- W -iasazu-V 5 iam ' f. .,,.iw -if 4 if .
