VARIETY SHOW SPARKLES Few times of the year are as memorable as Homecoming Week. This year was no ex- ception. The annually-antici- pated Variety Show lived up to the hub-bub surrounding it once again in 1987. and another enjoyable evening in the Limestone Auditorium was the result. As usual, the show was sponsored by Stu- dent Council and all pro- ceeds covered the costs of Student Council's many pro- jects. Student Council Advis- er. Gordon Wassel reported that this year’s show was a huge hit. The theme for this year's show was Worldwide Spirit.” The show's Emcees for the evening. Sue Hage- man, Amy Hodge, and John Thomas, carried this theme through the show with great efficiency. The theme re- quired students involved in skits to portray certain countries as themes. Fresh- men took the crowd to India with Limiana Stone and the Temple of Goons.” Rookie Donny Hampton played suave, debonair Limiana Stone, and the lovable Phyl- lis O'Connell was his sidekick Shorty. Hampton had trou- ble living up to the reputa- tion of Harrison Ford. He lacked the proper chest- hair.” said one member of the cast. The freshmen per- formance received the fourth-place ranking but one could hear the mumbled words. 'We'll be back.” A real heartbreaker that came as no real surprise was the third-place finish of the sen- ior class. The seniors por- trayed their version of the Three Amigos.” Limestone style, or should we say sen- ior-style.” The big highlight of the skit was a half-dozen awfully hairy cheerleaders that seemed to be dramati- cally over-endowed. The performance in a whole was reminiscent of the past four unsuccessful years for the seniors, but. hey. they had fun! The juniors, after a cou- ple of weeks of conflict deal- ing with subject matter, pre- sented Ahab the Arab”, a sweet melodrama about a boy and his harem. Toby Taylor proved to all that ly- ing around and being fed. rubbed, and fanned by half- naked women can be a dirty job. I can't complain. said Taylor. Neither could the junior class as they pulled through a respectable sec- ond-place finish. The real surprise came when Troy Quinn, general funnyman and vocal wizard, strutted onto stage as the machette- yielding Quarter-B Dundee. This came only after a crowd-rousing imitation of cult hero Robin Leach cour- tesy of Alan Battin. The skit flowed well and kept the crowd laughing until the very moment Matilda. Lime- stone's own kangaroo, hopped across stage and wrapped up the sophomore skit. It was clear that Life- styles of The Limestone Rockets was this year's winner, and it looked as though we'd have a proud bunch of underclassmen on our hands. The filler act competition was just as heated as in the past shows. An excited audience saw Rocky Hemp and Cory Reid's fourth place rendition of Ritchie Valens' tunes La Bamba” and Let’s Go”. The third-place act was chock full of high kicks and fancy footwork as the Radio City Rockettes tapped and shuffled to the tunes of yes- teryear. Stricken with the loss of her partner. Don Lane. Karen Peterson sang Somewhere Out There and won the hearts of the crowd while taking a second- place finish. Finishing in a strong first place was Donny Doo-Wop and the Groovy Dudes singing Huey Lewis' Naturally” acappella and leaving a highly pleased crowd. This year's Home- coming attendants were an- nounced at the beginning of the show and presided over the dance on Saturday. The freshman attendant for this year was Shawna Bradle. The sophomore attendant was Krissy Guthrie. In an in- teresting turn of events, best friends Kelly Sharp and Stephanie Shahan captured the honors of junior atten- dants. The senior attendant was Shellie Houlihan. This year’s queen was Karen Pe- terson. following in the foot- steps of her mother. Donnie Avila. Troy Quinn, John Thomas. Brian Carrol do-wop their way to a $75 first prize in the filler act competition. Freshmen first attempt at a Home- coming skit Limiana Stone and the Temple of Goons , took last place but they’ll know what to ex- pect next year. O 12 Homecoming
