Posing as fish, Brent Brayko, Chris Jones, and Robert Vickerman smile and say Seaweed.” Their skit, Phineas II in 3 D” involved many fishy puns woven into a western movie theme. Singing Papa, Can You Hear Me? Tanya Tupper becomes the character Yentel to the audience. PARADE OF SCHOOL LIFE What happens when MHS combines absurd jokes, romantic songs, and outrageous skits? The answer: MHS's Revue. Every year the talented students and teachers display a collage of school life in one show. The 1987 Revue was no different in giving Monroe that glimpse of MHS's image. The Jazz Ensemble set the mood for the show, opening for the Swing Choir, who performed Let's Get This Show on the Road. During intermission, vocalist Tina Goecks was accompanied by the Jazz Ensemble. In one selection, Mr. Schneeberger was backed by the Jazz band in a combination trumpet and vocal solo. Later, the Swing Choir performed Dixieland Jamboree. Vocal Soloists for the evening included Ms. Albert singing Memory, Michael Shreve singing Tne Search is Over, Tanya Tupper witn Tapa, Can You Hear Me? Ms. L)ex-heimer singing I Guess I'll Miss the Man, Lee Wunscnel singing I Can't Help Falling in Love, and Julie Lickes singing Do You Know Where You're Going Tor Pianist Kevin Swanson also performed the 3rd movement of Prelude. To further the sample of school life, the office personnel performed the skit A Day in the Office at MHS. The skit gave a humorous approach to how hectic one day can be. The German class did their version of The Wizard of Oz. Despite the language barrier, the audience laughed at the death of the wicked witch. Another foreign language class did two skits. Spanish students performed El Restaurante which gave the audience tips on what not to say south of the border, and Mexican Hat Dance which had students and teachers participating in some Spanish culture. The female teachers presented Stepsisters' Lament from Cinderella. The unlikely Cinderella was Lee Wunschel dressed in a frock and a wig. There were four dance routines in the Revue. One was to the tune Lollipop which featured girls in poodle skirts and guys in tu-tus. The second dance routine was called Music! Music! Music! In this dance, Mr. Brukwicki was shocked to see dance mannequins spring to life with the jukebox. The tnird dance routine was a jazzy number performed to the beat of The Heat in On. The last dance routine had some cheerleaders at The First Day of Practice doing everything but practice. Not only did Jazz Ensemble play, so did Cowfeathers. Their Kazoos added a twist to the music. A Tootin' Twosome played Chopsticks. Wrong instruments and absent music provided minor setbacks. A vocal trio sang Sunrise, Sunset. This was a selection from Fiddler on the Roof Phineas II in 3-D was a not-so-punny revision of last year's Phineas. The skit involved boys dressed as fish going puns to a plot line that was fishy in itself. The Revue's only commercial was Take A break — Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizz sponsored by the Liaison Board members. A musical commercial, the members played pop bottles and danced with pop cans. Ms. Dolores Feldt and Vicki Hyde offered a new concept to the classical idea of a piano duet. They played Hooked On Classics on a piano and played around quite a bit. The audience then went to camp with the song Hello Muddah. This duo sang to pictures of the people they missea' from home. A vocal quartet sane Silhouettes. This skit allowed the people in the audience a chance to reminisce and relax. A vocal duet sang Rainbow Connection ' The song was from the Muppet Movie. Mike Shreve did a song La-di-da-di. This song was one of the pop rock songs called rap. A small skit called The Littlest Women gave the crowd an insight to the life of a midget. The midget (Cindy Weckerly and Tina Goecks) could do everything big people could do, such as eating ana brushing teeth. The male teachers aid a song and dance routine to Marne. A shocked audience watched as Coach Pat Martin appeared in a tu-tu. The Finale was dedicated to the MHS State Champion football team and coaches. It featured the Swing Choir, a speech by Mr. Stauffacher, and tne song Mr. Touchdown U.S.A. sung by the teachers. $7 REVUE 17
