A crowd of concerned citizens Filled the Cafeteria on March 18 to hear Delbert Boone, community relations coordinator for CareUnit Hospital of St. Louis, share ideas and feelings about chemical problems and ways to stay chemically free. The program was sponsored by the Belleville District 118 Parent-Teacher Association and the Belleville Parents in Action. Delbert Boone illustrated to an attentive audience that “a dope fiend is a dope fiend is a dope Fiend is a dope Fiend ...” regardless of the kind of drug he uses because the end result is the same . . . loss of the ability to reason.

1985-86 saw many changing styles and events The year seemed full of surprising events. The biggest change on campus was the change in the style of the Junior Jam. Instead of presenting the Jam stage produc¬ tion. an outrageous, off-the-wall, and usually humorous dramatic attempt written by the juniors, the Class of ' 87 hosted a carnival and dance to raise money to fund their Prom. Seniors were afraid the carnival would be a flop and the Prom a failure, but the juniors pulled off a successful carnival and dance on April 4 and a beautiful Prom on May 17. Going back to the original Jam tradition, the carnival proved to be outrageous in its own right with a Gong Show, a sexy legs contest (even faculty members competed!!!), and various food booths and carnival attractions. Besides the Jam’s change in style, other changes occurred on campus. The campus received a new look with rejuvination of the sidewalks by new concrete in the mall area in front of the Cafeteria Building. New concrete steps and rails took the place of the worn-out steps on the north side of the Library Building, steps which thousands of feet had worn down since the build¬ ing was built in the 1930’s. New shrubs were planted on the north side of the building which will provide beauty for years to come. The school calendar was altered, thanks to the state legislature, by a surprising day off on March 3 in honor of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish soldier in the Revolutionary War. (Anything for a day off!!!) We all had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the famous Halley’s Comet cross the night sky during its on-schedule return to Earth after seventy-six years. The most tragic event of the year was the explosion a few minutes after blast-off at Cape Canaveral of the space shuttle Challenger, with seven crew members aboard, including civilian teacher chosen to ride along. All told, this year was full of memorable events. Jenny He hr man, Gina Dill, and Laura Dill arrive for school dressed in the latest teen-age fashions. Gong Show tryouts for the Junior Jam were anything but boring! Hollie Hearn and Michelle Farroll use the new steps of the Library Huilding and walkway on their way to the Cafeteria to join friends before school. 24 Campus changes
