A duo of Pam Bruni and Barb DuCharme showed up twice on stage in a skit called Setau Darg.” They satirized high school life and freshman.

Jim added a special touch by playing guitar. The song was dedicated to the graduating class of 1986. Noah” was a two part skit of John Steffens and Brian Masshardt.

Against Blue lighting, Paula Hunt ami Cassandra Lees dressed in Chinese costumes to perform Chinese and Russian Dances Mr. Duit gave a humorous reading entitled Rindercella.

They wore Hawaiian shorts and made use of the red flashlights. Leader of the Pack featured Krisann Pin-now as the lead singer and Brent Brayko as the Leader of the Pack. Brent proudly sat astride in his high speed Big Wheel. Beth and Melissa Sorn performed Sisters as a vocal skit. The love hate relationship raged on between the two, stopping only long enough to gang up on Trudi Stocker who played their mother.
