Ld GOING POCO LOCO R9 A Fun-Filled Mayfete Week Culminates 22 With Queen Alyssa's Coronation Princess Sarah With a theme like Poco Loco, Mayfete week was anything but bogus. In a spin-off from the popular movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill (Mike Dougherty), Ted (Blake Fabian), Nerfus (Jeff McMahon) and flash powder introduced the ten Mayfete princesses. The assembly was filled with such historical figures such as Socrates, Einstein, and Billy the Kid, who escorted the new princesses. With the court introductions finished, the students' free-time was filled with Mayfete activities. The court worked on perfecting their bows and the waltz under the guidance of Chuck Smith and Karen Regal, while finishing touches were being put on the class skits. Mayfete week was a time of Laker spirit in which dress-up days and the newly introduced post dress rehearsal bonfire let shine through. The senior class displayed a wealth of unity as they defeated the faculty 6-4 in the annual Senior- Faculty softball game. The brightly colored backdrop, designed by Steve Graepel, was laid out on chicken wire and filled in by the hard- working senior class, who Princess Amy siezed the opportunity to get out of classes on Thursday. On Friday morning, T.P. and crepe paper festooned the oak tree and was draped from the fences by the entrance all the way to the A-Building. Cheers greeted the princesses as they successfully completed their bows and the traditional court waltz. Finally the moment came, last minute guesses were made - who will be our queen? A shocked Alyssa Bremner gracefully bowed to the standing and cheering crowd in acceptance of this honor. Mrs. Mary Hill, in the place of the 1988 queen, Aliko Ban, who was unable to return from college, crowned the new queen. The skits were performed in her honor, and when the smoke cleared the Class of 1989 was named skit champion for The Muppet Mayfete Skit. Queen Alyssa and the court joined in the jubilant celebration topping off a truly Poco Loco week. CROWNING GLORY Science teacher Mary Hill, aided by Brian Zindel and crown bearer Randi Chi Nguyen, crowns 1989 Mayfete Queen, Alyssa Bremner as her escort, Don Ban, looks on. After years of teaching science and being a class advisor, Mrs. Hill retired in June. Princess Meggan 4 -— Princess Susan

THE JEWELS OF SANTA MARIA Freshmen The “In-search-of” theme was predominant in the freshman skit. A lost treasure, the jewels of Santa Maria (where the Poco Loco “mexican” theme was introduced), was the object of a bumbling American couple's crazy night. After encountering natives dancing to a tape of Mr. Jones by the Talking Heads, three partying natives pointed them in the direction of the Copa Cabana. Voted as the best scene of their Mayfete skit, the Copa Cabana was filled with entertainment and was brimming with excitement. The dance to the Barry Manilow ballad Copa Cabana was a treat. Colby Weathers played the female Lola and kept the audience in stitches. His dance was truly unforgettable, especially when twirling with partner Peter Fisher. At the end of the scene, the jewels (actually a cleverly planted gift for the queen) were discovered. “Put a bounce in it, baby! - Freshman Jim Lewis HIKERS WITH A HITCH Mr. and Mrs. Jones (Justin Hooks and Caroline Rich) attempt to interpret a map to find the lost jewels of Santa Maria. Their acting skills kept the skit flowing nicely. SHE WAS A SHOWGIRL Lola (Colby Weathers) and Peter Fisher express their mutual love on the Copa Cabana dance floor. Colby's gender change was the funniest part of the freshman skit. I SPY Emily Bliquez, Becca Misner, Mimi Shin, and : Rachel Murray perform.
