Fairytales was the theme of this year’s homecoming. A fairytale it was for Mike Haag and Roberta Kucharski who have been going together for several years. They had the honor of being crowned JHS’s Homecoming King and Queen. It was a semi-formal dance, the theme was “A Night In Heaven.” The dance began at 8, it was held in the cafeteria, which was decorated with flashing lights around the steps. Stars were hanging from the ceiling and on the walls, and a fog machine gave it a ‘Heavenly Effect.” A difference in Homecoming this year, there wasn’t a band, ‘‘We had a D.J. because we wanted more danceable music,” commented Kim Abell, student council member. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of the King and Queen. Peter Switzer and Dawn Williamson, a fairytale come true. Couples “dance the night away.' 1985 HOMECOMING COURT: Michelle Anderson, Mark Dumelle, Lisa Klein, Mike Nederhouser, Julie Leopold, Tom Meehan, Debbie Tvaroh, Tom Kinney, Laueie Mellum, Jim Owen, Kelly Kegel, Ron Beck, Jill Leopold, Mark Durei, and Queen Roberta Kucharski, King Mike Haag.
