Morning movers create interesting announcements A new addition to Friday morn¬ ings was the Morning Movers’ daily announcements. Each Friday morning, members of the Cof¬ fee Club livened up the usual daily an¬ nouncements by using musical skits along with the announcements. Grag Grafton and Pete Balcuinas thought of the idea while they were playing the piano together. Grafton picked up a copy of the daily an¬ nouncements and began reading them along with the piano. The club came up with numerous ideas for their skits. Some of which were: Bruce Springstein “Glory Days”, “The Barn Yard”, “Wipe Out”, a news cast, a soap opera, the “Bea¬ tles”, Pee-Wee Herman, and Paul Shaffer. Many students helped the group by playing instruments and also reading the announcements. Lori Szalli played key bass, Andy Dudac and Joe Beggs played the drum machines, Pete Calcuinas played the guitar and the keyboard, and each alternated reading the announcements to make each week sound different and more inter¬ esting. Students had some mixed reactions regarding the new announcements. “It “It makes announcements much more fun and gets you to pay attention to them.” makes announcements much more fun and gets you to pay attention to them,” said Lori Sawyer (12).
