Seniors keep up with tradition b earning money for prom through When I grow up I Wunf to be a lounge singer - Singing Wham's Y 'Careless Whispers , senior Sean Owens tries to resemble George Michael, M' . , Where else could one see high school football ployers rap along to ther version of The Superbowl Shuffle , or a band member and foot- ball player teaming up to play a rendition of Piano Boogie on the piano? The answer is none other than the popular Senior Follies where many students saw a talented side of their peers that they were not even aware existed, In this traditional show, seniors who have previously auditioned, demonstrated their talent with singing, dancing, drama skits and numerous other unique skills. indeed, unique is the word to describe perfor- mances such as the one en- titled Eugena Smucks and Her Harmonica , where Elizabeth Mclnerney donned her best bag lady clothing and proceeded to play a tune on her harmonica, or The Twelve Years of School, reminiscent of The Twelve Days of Christmas, where seniors sang of the trails each grade of school seems to present. One particular song number brought back some of the nostalgia of the 1960's Dressed in an unlike- ly combination of black tux- edos, bow ties,and Risky Business dark shades, the quartet of Mike Abate, Jeff Whitaker, Sean Owens, and Brent Vaughn, strutted smoothly and sang to the lyrics of My Girl . To keep all these acts run- ning smoothly, the audience was treated to the wisecracking humor and wit of emcees Kenny Thompson and Mike Cooper. To cap the evening off, all cast members joined together and presented their final bows to the wild lyrics of the song Shout! , and members definitely did do that along with much chaotic dancing. In addition to the enter- taining dancing, singing, and acting supplied by the senior class, the suspense ended following the Saturday night performance. The P.T.A. an- nounced the winner of the Alabama ticket raffle, and Senior Superlatives and Junior and Sophomore class favorites were proclaimed. Cathy Smith and Scott Davis were elected Mr. and Mrs. B.H.S. Brent Vaughn and Ashley Bullington, junior favorites, and David Bowman and Sheri Brown, sophomore favorites. The winners were selected by their classmates, voting a few weeks before the show. The show proved to be entertaining, a night that many seniors look forward to finally being able to par- ticipate in. The show earned a stag- gering sum of S8,500, the profit gained from Senior Follies definitely benefitted students by putting a dent in some of the expenses which the Senior Prom presents.
