Skits Span the Decades of Gur Century The class skits, which concluded Whirlie Week , were the product of many hours of practice and planning. Each class depicted an era of life in a certain decade. The Sophomores did a song-and-dance routine to illustrate the fabulous 40's. The Juniors, decked in bell- bottoms and love beads, protested for peace in their skit of the turbulent 60's. However, the most profound performance was that of the Seniors. Aside from trying to depict us in our own era, the seniors gave their rendition of the destruction of the human race due to nuclear warheads. This somewhat depressing scene was overshadowed by the unbelievable Whirlie spirit which provided the background feeling for all the skits. Like peace, man. Junior skit depicted the turbulent sixties with their violent protest against the Vietnam Vllar. Mark Smith and Bill Stoesen, dressed in period garb, stage a protest on the Whirlie stage. !, Lf' if 16 Whirlie Skits Y Throw your hands? Up in the air? No, this time sophomore cheerleader Cindy Lanning is not leading spirited Whirlies in a familiar cheer: she is struttin' her stuff as a love-struck fan of Frank Sinatra as played by Richard Kaplan. C'mon Boys- ERA all the way. Senior Julia Almy holds a de- finitive sign of the time. The ERA bill has once again failed to pass the Congress, but Julia shows the continued support of an ideal held high by women of the 80's. Marathon call? The senior skit, which exemplified the 80's, in- cluded a segment on the break- up of Ma-Bell. Tracy Taft is en- gaged in a marathon conversa- tion, just prior to the ATGT breakdown.
