i RAPPIN' JOE, JUST A SHUFFLIN'. Greg Nor- nan does the Faculty Shuffle as Joe Martinez. (Photo by Rum t ulhcrl M.YMPIC HOPEFUL. Gymnist and dancer larina Smith hopes to someday have her own ance studio. (Photo by Airundj Coir) Welcome... Da-vid Letter-man! “Our guests tonight include a variety of talented, good-looking, and extremely abnormal Plainsmen! After a year without a talent show, students let their talents shine. “The Faculty Shuffle was one of the most original skits that I have seen, Bill Arm- strong, geometry teacher, said. One dav a bunch of guvs were waiting down the hall, Greg Norman, senior, said. We walked past Mr. Mar- it looked ;. We had uperbow tinez's room, and like he was dancin just heard the ! sr Sr poonts Shuffle. That's how we got the idea. The shuffle was in fact the hit of the show and received a standing ovation. Other hits included Scott Browne's magic act and Jason version of Johnny B. Goode.' also had his own version of the Solid Gold Dancers, the Plainsmen Prancers who had the audience in tears laughing. The act that showed the most talent was the guitar man, Mitzi McMinn, junior, said. The guitar man was Richard Showkier, who performed such feats as playing three types of guitars — one witn his teeth and one behind his back. Showkier said his idol was the group Push , and he hoped someday to gain the reputation they nave. She has the voice of an an- gel, and he is bet ter than Lionel Richie, Jamie Duncan said speak- ing of Anne L o w r y and David Gas- chen. Their duet Separate Lives, originally sung by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin, was better than the original, Duncan said. Jennifer Lamberts and Marina Smith danced; Kathy McGrath sang her version of Heart 's These Dreams, Tanya Goulette and Rebecca Agnew sang Everything in My Heart by Corey Hart to round out the show. And the audience cheered. OKAY, STOP, Scan Spruill's self-composed song opened the talent show. (Pholoby Rum I u(hrr) TALENT

Such hits as R-O-C-K in the U-S-A and We Built This City were the big numbers. With choreographer John Packard, rehearsels started right after spring break and lasted until the night before the big show. The longest, most tedious part of the show was getting the dances put together, and everyone on time with each other, Leslie Waters, junior, said. The choir made the entire set and selected their outfits. Most of the solo singers chose their own songs. bolos by Anne Lowry, Shannon Lesley, Waters and David Gaschen broke the momen- tum offering con- trast to the fast, up-beat songs. Tickets sold for $ 3, and the auditorium was more than half full. In demand dur- ing the holiday season, the Chamber Singers gave shows at City Hall, Plains Na- tional Bank, American State Bank, the Lubbock Country Club, the LISD office and the Chamber of Commerce. Four weeks of preparation went into the holiday show with singers making suggestions and Director Carolyn Walker making the final selection after a group vote. Members chose their costumes, blue sweaters with black stirrup pants for the girls and black tuxedo pants, wing-tip shirts and blue bow ties for the boys. It was hard to perform when some- one was unable to sing because of erades, Kellie Gafford said. So the No Pass, No Play rule affected areas other than atheltics. We never could have done it without our choreographer, Amy Edwards said of the holiday show a n cf choreographer Rhonda Merryman. Good Times held a special significance for three members, Jamie Wehde, Nancie Wehde and Mindy Anderson, in- juredin a car ac- cident the after- noon of the show. Ander- son performed, but she dropped out of the dance numbers. Jen- nifer Kuethe dedicated the show to the Wehdes and their recovery. BACKSTAGE.
