FLIPPING CHANNELS Sophomores Television was an easy and predictable theme to target for a Mayfete skit, but the sophomores certainly chose a terrific set of shows to depict in theirs. After his parents left for a Cinco de Mayo party (hence “Poco Loco”), Chad Gross was swept into TV land and tortured by his channel-changing sister, Ann Everson. Appearing in commercials advertising Scott Thomason Ford and Fruit of the Loom underwear, as well as encountering favorite shows and MTV was the plot of the skit. Voted best scene was The Richard Simmons scene, in which Joel Carson led “fat” sophomores stuffed with pillows and clothes in aerobics and discussed his weight-loss plan, “Deal-A-Meal.” True talent was displayed by the singing Three Amigos and especially by Holly Zindel, Meg Irvine, and Chele Morley when they danced to “Coming to America” in “Puttin’ on the Hits.” The backwards dancers were also a memorable act. Talent, spirit, and confidence were only too evident in this skit. “TRIP OUT, dude! It’s the guy from ‘Puttin’ on the Hits’!” - Sophomore Chad Gross TUTTI FRUTTI PRETTY POSERS Ryan Steele and Andre Kazmierski strut their Anne Weddell, Jaci Diteman, and Sienna stuff in the Fruit of the Loom dance.

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.

RUN FOR THE BORDER Juniors Swept into the dream of Burt Reynolds, the junior class performed an adventure-filled skit. In the dream, Burt and Loni Anderson (Matt Cole and Jenny Fernie) raced for the border while finding specific objects along the way in a competition against Charlie’s Angels (Heather Dorrell, Angela Smith, and Susan Carney). The trip was broadcast by a hip newscaster, Robert Snodgrass. The racers encountered interesting characters throughout the skit, including Geraldo, the Bradys, Ponch and John from the TV show “CHiPs,” and a mexican border patrol. The Club Macombo dancers displayed talent, and the gangs, the Cruds and the Blips, crept into many of the skit’s scenes. Las Vegas Club Macombo singers David Ludwig, Mindy Warren, and Brian Dove lept into the hearts of the judges and were awarded the title of best scene in their skit. It ended with a rousing round of Win, Lose, or Draw, and the answer was Poco Loco Junior Mayfete. SSS SS SS SS ee eee “No! No! Not my nose!” - Junior Chase Stewart as Geraldo TOO COOL Junior rappers were the Cruds and the “Blips that Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson (Matt Cole and Jenny Fernie) encountered. The gangs gave them the two colored bandanas that they needed. 26 Student Life CHIPS AHOY John and Ponch (Dara Partovi and Josh Snyder) look questioningly at Charlie’s Angels. The two cops made their entry on children’s big wheels to the delight of the audience. DRESSED FOR SUCCESS Charlie’s Angels, Angela Smith, Susan Carney, and Heather Dorrell make themselves noticed. In the hilarious slow motion race scene at the end, Angela fell down.
