A “Reflection” On The Homecoming Dance 1987 The 1987 Homecoming Dance “Reflections” was held on October 17, from 9:00 p.m. to midnight. The west gymnasium, decorated in blue with sparkling silver stars and streamers, provided a different and darker setting for the dance than those in past years. Musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the John Bartley Band from Collinsville. Coronation took place at 11:00. J.D. Glisson, the Master of Ceremonies, introduced the Reigning Homecoming Court: Queen Erin Anthony, King Jay Meyer, Kristy Pahlman, Bobby Thomson, Elbe Huber, Marc Robertson, Missy Ward, Stephen Bell, Marnie Hamel, and Rick Hinds. The 1986 Queen Heather Baptist crowned the new queen; then the King and Queen shared their traditional dance to “She’s Like The Wind” by Patrick Swayze. This year’s Homecoming Dance was indeed magical and one that we will all “reflect” upon in the years to come. 2 The 1987 Homecoming Queen and King, Erin Anthony and Jay Meyer (1) (2) 1987 Homecoming Court: Marc Robertson, Ellie Huber, Bobby Thompson.

 -e A Night Of Pizza And Shaving Cream Senior Girls Overnight was held at the YMCA, Thursday, October 8, from 11 pm until 5:30 am. The night got off to a good start with the girls watching a Chippendale’s video and pigging out on pizza. Some of the girls stayed around to watch “A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, PART III,” while the others played volleyball, basketball, racketball, lifted weights, and swam. The girls began decorating posters for senior hall towards mid-morning. A lot of pictures were taken throughout the evening. Soon many people became a little tired. Those who dared to sleep got their share of toothpaste and shaving cream before they woke up. A special thanks to Mrs. Ryan, Miss Fehl, Miss Goss, Mrs. Aldrich, and Miss Webster for chaperoning the exciting evening. And to Dorothy Spradlin, Cara Noble, and Tiffany Morthole for planning the big event. Everyone stretches out to watch a movie and sleep (7) (8) Beth Scearce with her shaving cream.
