Special Events ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK a shot by junior high teacher Dave Rigby, Shawn Gayle moves in. CHICAGO BEARS STAR Danny Rains signs autographs for fans at halftime of the bas- ketball game. Fun activities bring joy On Monday before Easter vacation, the JHS Booster Club hosted the Good News Bears,” a basketball team composed of members of the 1986 Super Bowl champions, the Chicago Bears. The gym was packed with rowdy, excited fans of all ages as the Bears played members of Johnsburg's school staff. The first quarter the Bears battled the junior high staff; second quarter was against Johnsburg administrators; third quarter was against the high school men; and fourth quarter the Bears played the high school women. The Bears won 89- 87. Bear players were Tyrone Kee, Jim Morrisay, Ken Taylor, Shawn Gayle, Ste- phen Humphries, and Danny Rains. In April, the “Amazing Mr. Shafton” presented two assemblies in which he hypnotized about 40 students. After giving an introduction about hyp- notism, Mr. Shafton put volunteer students into a deep, hypnotic sleep. With the hypnotist’s sug- gestions, students thought their shoes were phones, that they lost fingers, that they were on a bumpy bus, that they were watching a horror show. etc. 3IVING THE JR.

Prom ’86 ‘This could be the night’ For Vicki Moulis and Bob McKay, it was a par- ticularly special prom. They were elected king and queen by their classmates, and they reigned over the 1986 prom at the Barn of Barring- ton on May 23. Everyone seemed to have a great time. This prom was attended by more students than ever before in JHS history. After a splendid dinner, students were entertained by the pop- ular band, •‘Trilogy.” The dancing lasted from 9 p.m. to midnight. Each prom-goer received a souvenir wine glass and mem- ory booklet. Post prom activities were at Racing Rapids Action Park in Carpentersville. There, students enjoyed water slides, go-carts, and bumper boats. The weather was a bit on the chilly side (in the 40’s), but for those who didn't want to brave the outside, there were arcade games or movies on the buses. A very won- derful evening ended as the buses pulled into JHS at 4 a.m. Missy Capps dances with her date. Terry Eifler. Kim Larson and her date. Todd Newton, enjoy the evening. King Bob McKay and Queen Vicki Moulis share a moment they dreamed about. 24
