Many juniors volunteered to help organize the lock-in, Ted Pigott and Krissy Trakas, seniors, shake it down on the floor during the dance contest. The theme song to this contest was Dirty Dancing. The twinkie eating contest was fun and exciting, but there was a little disappointment in the loss since Lou Lopez beat me by only half a twinkie. Tony Olejnik LOCK-IN 27

REIA 88 inree emcees entertain between acts Good morning Vietnam, screamed Mitch Davidhizar, senior, one of the three Revue ' 88 emcees. The other two were Jeff Coto, senior, and Buddy Pearson, ju- nior. Each emcee did a special skit to introduce the acts. For example, Pearson did im- pressions of famous people, such as Bill Cosby, while Coto and Davidhizar acted in the skits. Fifty-four students took time out of their busy schedules to practice for and play in Revue ' 88 on Feb. 19 and 20. The stu- dents practiced for four weeks before opening night. Bruce Woods, English teacher, directed the Revue with help from assistant director, Rosanne Pool. Miss Poll was the student teacher in Joe Morrow ' s speech classes. Student director was Joy Bridy, junior. Thirteen acts held the audi- ence captive. There was a variety of songs, dances, bands and comedy skits to keep everyone happy. 1 thought some of the bands were pretty good, and there were a few individual performances 1 liked, stated George Nicolich, junior. Lori Sell, a sophomore mem- ber of the cast, stated that all the hard work paid off and in the end the performances were ex- citing. Once again, the Jazz Band per- formed in the Revue. This made some of the acts in the Revue a tradition. Even though some tra- ditions were getting started, oth- ers were ending. Coto and Davidhizar had been in the Revue since their sopho- more year. According to some, they were the main attraction besides the bands. Not only was it the last per- formance for these two seniors, but also for some other seniors and a junior, including Gregg Stepp. He moved one week after the Revue but left a memorable good bye when he dedicated the song, I Won ' t Forget You to MHS at the last performance. Mr. Woods stated before the Revue that it would turn out very well, and Angel Martin, junior, confirmed his prediction by stating, It was great. by SUSAN LYTLE In preparation for the gig at the Revue is Matt Stefankiewicz. junior.
