It Was the Edge Of Heaven The 1986 Homecoming Dance “The Edge of Heaven” was held on October 4, 1986 from 9:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The scheduled band was Jax, but at the last minute they cancelled due to previous arrangements. Fortunately, the Student Government found the John Bartly Band from Collinsville in time. The band kept the students dancing nonstop in the balloon-filled cafeteria. Although there were many delays, coronation finally took place at 11:00. The Reigning Homecoming court was Queen Heather Baptist, King Andy Ezard, with attendants Julie Fernandes, Greg Hacker, Lynna Gililland, Tom Ware, Julie Green, Paul Hadden, Donita Moore, and Bruce Roegge. The 1985 Queen Jill Wooldridge crowned the new queen, which was followed by the King and Queen’s dance to “Heaven in Your Eyes”, sung by Loverboy. For all of these reasons, this dance will always bring back special and unforgettable memories. The members of the 1986 Homecoming Court are, front: Julie Fernandes, Julie Green, Queen Heather Baptist, Lynna Gililland, and Donita Moore, and back: Greg Hacker, Paul Hadden, King Andy Ezard, 1985 King John Iomhave, 1985 Queen Jill Wooldridge, Tom Ware, and Bruce Roegge (1).

Renfield), Mark Burnette (Butterworth), and David McGuire (Count Dracula), Also included were newcomers to the JHS stage Tracy Evans (Miss Wells), and Leah Norris (Lucy Seward). The plot of “Dracula” was very suspenseful. The actions evolved around Dracula in his pursuit of another victim, namely Lucy Seward.
