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.

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.

WHAT A TRIP! Muppet messenger Scooter (Jerry Lee) clumsily passes on a news flash to the news anchor. Jerry was the hardworking head man of the skit, leading a supportive group of seniors MAYFETE MUPPET SKIT WINS Seniors The class of '89 enjoyed their second Mayfete victory with a heart-warming rendition of “The Muppet Show.” The energetic opening scene of chickens, Kermit (Jason Saffir), and Fozzie Bear (Courtney Hergert) dancing and singing to the introducion song was voted as the best scene in the skit. The plot of the skit was to track down the murderer of one of the guests, Mr. Rogers (Matt Gates). Statler and Waldorf (Brian Zindel and James Yu), and the Pigs in Space scene (with Aaron Hobbs as Darth Vader and Becky Conrad as Miss Piggy) were two very comical scenes. A Muppet News Flash introduced Cassondra Rutherford as Miss Kitty from Mr. Rogers’ “Land of Make Believe” who proceeded to sing Stray Cats Strut with three back-up cats. Singing and chopping cook, the Swedish Chef (Kristin Scheible) and the wabbit-hunting Elmer Fudd (Chris Fountain) entertained the audience until an incriminating shot from Fudd's gun made the cast realize that he was the assassin. However, Mr. Rogers appeared healthy and fit thanks to a bullet-proof cardigan. The entire cast celebrated, singing It's Such a Good Feeling to Know You're Alive and presented the class gift to the queen. “Do I look pretty?” - Senior Becky Conrad as Miss Piggy HIIHIITYA! Miss Piggy (Becky Conrad) gives Captain Link (Ross Swanson) a smack in response to an insult. The actors got into their parts: Ross wore pink tights, and Becky increased her cup size by three ALL TOGETHER NOW Scooter (Jerry Lee), Kermit (Jason Saffir), Mr Rogers (Matt Gates), the Swedish Chef (Kristin Scheible), and Elmer Fudd (Chris Fountain) begin the final song and dance. The last line was sung This is what we call the senior class!
