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.

Bob Winovich, senior, stated, Even though I work and sleep most of the weekend, I find time to see my friends. Not everyone stays in this area for a good time. I go to Purdue when there ' s nothing to do in Merrillville. It ' s usually frantic, but it ' s fun! said Carrie Swinford, senior. Some students even exercise their talents. Many spend hours at practices. My time is spent working and practicing. Anything to get out of studying! stated Michelle Owen, sophomore.

I love to go with my friends and tear apart the clothes stores! com- mented Linda Shesto, senior. Many students prefer to fre- quent the cinemas. Erik LaCoss, junior, com- mented, I go to horror movies a lot for the raw thrills and cold sweats! Another favorite indoor activ- ity is playing pool. When I go out with the guys, we sometimes like to go Stardust and shoot some pool if the weather ' s bad, said Mike He- minger, junior. Believe it or not, some stu- dents enjoy staying home when they get the chance. This gives them a chance to listen to their m usic. One of the things I like to do in my spare time is to listen to music. Bad Co., Van Halen and Aerosmith are my favorites, stated Mike Barton, senior. Most students find going to parties a highlight of the week- end. I like to go to parties because it ' s a chance to have fun with all your friends and not worry about school, concluded Jenni Hamilton, sophomore.
