 IFE IS A CABARET Students, students, please get all the Cabaret together and let's do the Can-can, please. At 5 p.m. Friday, February 22, Madame Danisa Hum- phrey's Yugoslav voice shouted orders to every comer of the cafeteria. The preparations for the Ninth Annual Mardi Gras was underway and no one was as frantic as she. Yes, Madame Humphrey was ready for a di- saster at any second. 1 don't know why; nothing's ever gone wrong before, said Judy Williams, the other French Club sponsor. How could anything go wrong? More than two months before the event, French Club members were let loose in Norman to ask for door prizes and donations. As the date grew nearer, all scho- lastic work ceased and the attention was focused on making paper mache dannons and Revolu- tionary flags. Finally on February 23, the finishing touches were all that was left, but still Mme. Humphrey was dashing about like a worm on a hot sidewalk. The cafeteria was soon jamming with people eating, drinking fake champagne, and being morally decadent on this last day before Lent. Almost twenty clubs from Central, West, and NHS participated by operating booths. Any guest could choose from crepes, baked goods, or opt to play a game such as the basketball toss operated by Student Congress. We didn't make much money, but we had a radical time anyway, said Debbie Smith, a Sen- ior Senator. As Jennifer Heavener, Kelly Furlong, and Chris Santine took the stage, the Cabaret began. The cabaret offered the Can-Can girls, student acts, the Pom-Pon girls, and the First Annual Madame Humphrey Look-Alike Contest, which senior Amy Lategola won. How, then can you sum up the Ninth Annual Mardi Gras? Everyone left fat and happy, con- cluded Tara Murphy, Mardi Gras chairperson. TAKING AN INCREDIBLE FASHION RISK to achieve the perfect “Madame-Humphrey-in- an-accident look, Amy Lategola prepares to perform in the look-alike contest. STILL IN HER CAN-CAN COSTUME.
