Gong Hits It wasn’t too long ago that the irreverent, and sometimes objec- tionalble, ‘‘Gong Show’’ graced the airwaves in Richmond. The show featured amateur talent that was judged by a panel of ce- lebrity judges. On January 14th, the MHS Hon- or Guard Drill Team presented a ‘Midlothian Gong Show” with emcee Jeff Connors and ‘‘celeb- rity’’ judges Mr. Hale, Mr. Olsen, and Mr. Dixon. The acts ranged from serious singing to insane ka- zoo-dancing. Three acts were gonged: the “Stumpie Stompers” dancing to “Boogie Shoes,’’ the Unknown Abominable Kazoo Players, and the Obnoxious Animal Band. Four acts received eight points each: the pom-pom squad, shaking to the Knack’s ‘‘My Sharona’’; LeeAnn Sizer’s rendi- tion of Edith Ann; Julie Duffield’s baton twirling to ‘‘Skatetown U.S.A.’’; and Kyle Bowles and the “Once-a-Month Nature Boys” original hit, ‘‘The Ballad of Todd Farmer.” Two acts tied for first place with ten points each: guys dressed as ‘‘Luscious Lovelies”’ singing the HeeHaw hit, ‘‘When Will | Be Loved?” and Liz Hod- der’s ‘‘The Rose.”’ The informal, tacky, and some- times tasteless performances created a hilarity always wel- comed, seldom seen, at Midloth- ian. Matt Brown, lead singer of the ‘‘Luscious Lovelies.”’ “Who needs talent?” Kyle and the ‘‘Nature Boys’”’ warm-up. The “Luscious Lovelies’’ prepare to sign auto- graphs for their fans. 16 Student Life Gong Show

Students On Displa On April 1, ten Midlothian High School students had a unique opportunity to experience the daily operations of a neighboring Chesterfield County high school. Three Midloth- ian High School seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen, chosen and screened by the S.C.A., spent an entire day at Clover Hill High School. On April 2 the process was reversed, and ten Clover Hill students spent the day at Midlothian. These ‘“‘exchange students” were paired with a ‘‘host”’ student, and sat-in on the “‘host”’ student’s classes. Despite the fact that both Midlothian and Clover Hill are within the same school system, M.H.S. students were somewhat sur- prised at some obvious differences between the two high schools: Clover Hill is much newer, with more modern facili- ties; Clover Hill is much larger, with crowded classrooms and hallways. All students involved in this student exchange program were impressed with the differences and similarities in the two schools. Located as they are in totally different regions of Chesterfield County, some differences were expected, yet the entire program stressed the obvious similarities between the schools.
